Innovation in education, especially in alternative education and qualification, has always seen scepticism by a specific traditional institution. Unaware of SASE’s due diligence, legal compliance, accreditation for its inclusive education, bridge course, credit transfer, and dropout prevention, a few higher education institutions were not ready to treat  credit transfer students as regular schooled students for the under graduation degree inspite of government of India and Government of Karnataka's recognition of NWAC board's high school certification.

In two separate Writ Petitions filed in the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka in the years 2017 and 2018 by 142 students completing the American High School Diploma through inclusive education and under bridge course, on both occasions, the Honorable High Court has upheld the recognition of NWAC High School and validity of high school certificate(10th and 12th standard)offered by SASE. The Hon’ble High Court, in its orders, has directed the higher education institution to treat the open schooling qualifications issued by the NWAC board at System for Alternative Schooling and Education as equivalent to 2nd PU/12th standard and grant admission to undergraduate degrees due to its comprehensive recognition from the relevant state and central government authorities.
