Admission to Pragjyotish College is merit-based, with applications accepted from June to July. The college is known for its excellent faculty in computer programming and provides convenient transportation options. The faculty-to-student ratio is favorable, ranging from 1:10 to 1:14. The college has around 50-60 professors, many of whom hold PhDs, averaging 50 years of age. However, the BCA department lacks capable faculty, and students cannot choose preferred subjects under the CBCS syllabus.
Exams are held twice a year and are of manageable difficulty. Fees vary by program: Commerce students pay 6,000 to 8,000 INR, Arts students 4,000 to 7,000 INR, and BCA/BBA students 12,000 INR. The self-financed BCA program costs 28,000 INR annually, paid in two installments. Although placement opportunities are limited, companies like Wipro and TCS participate in campus recruitment. No internships or campus placements are currently available, but external internships with companies like Mahindra and Tata are possible.
The college provides government scholarships but no loan facilities; however, fee relief is available for financially disadvantaged students. The total course fee for a 3-year BCA program is 72,000 INR, with additional charges of 2,000 to 3,000 INR per year for exams and canteen use. Scholarships are offered regularly, and fees vary by caste, with an annual cost of 20,000 to 30,000 INR. Campus employment opportunities are rare.
