NIRF data for the last 4 years (2022-2025) analysed focusing on the GO (Graduation Outcome) and TLR (Teaching, Learning & Resources) scores. Team Campusutra has been always focusing on this particular parameter of NIRF Ranking which directly indicates trend of placements – a key component of students outcome and how well students are accepted by the recruiters. This is one key marker students should consider rather than going by the overall score of NIRF Rankings.
