In the service industry, to get the satisfactory quality outcome, both the customer and server play an important role. It is not a one-way process but a series of multiple continuous feedback loops that define the outcome. The demand levels set between both the customer and server decide whether the result will be extraordinary or ordinary. In the education sector, the customer is the student and the teacher is the server. It would be interesting to analyse this relationship and study its impact. The idea is to use the established, nationally recognized measurement criteria like National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF). This system has defined different criteria, of which 50% weightage has been given to teacher and student quality, named as Research and Professional Practice (RP) and Graduation Outcomes (GO). Statistical tools were used to analyse and compare the input criteria and their impact on the outcome. This attempt establishes the relationship between the teacher and student and the importance of the customer–server duality.
