Only 14 NLUs actually shared the placements scenario openly.
This is for the ones who keep cribbing about tiers among NLUs all the time.
Below NLIU, Nobody is giving you a above 10 lakh salary.
Then, The range is 6 lakh to 10 lakh.
Out of the 13 NLUs which were established after CNLU, only 3 of them have actually shared the NIRF reports.
This shows that the top 12 is a different league all together.
The later 4 are lagging behind even after getting more than 1 decade. (Established before 2014)
Then come the ones which are yet to have a taken a decade. Literally, no NLU except NLU Nagpur has released the report.
Where to go then?

Symbi, GLC, ILS, Amity, BVP, Jindal, Nirma, ... Add as you feel.
there was a long thread on this
if you want to do a meaningful comparison you can put the medial of NLUD to 15
Those making allegations of fake data, what proof do you have? Also, I hope you realise that rankings don't just look at salaries but other criteria too, such as faculty research, infrastructure etc. Talk about that first.
