The name ‘Pragjyotishpur’ connotes rays of primordial light and, in ancient times, signified the geographic area that spans much of what is Northeast Bharat today. This name has been mentioned even in texts as old as the Rāmāyaṇa and the Mahābhārata.

Honouring the rich and vibrant legacy associated with this name, Pragjyotishpur University came into being on Monday, the 17th of October 2022, with the enactment of the Pragjyotishpur University Act No. XLVI of 2022 by the Government of Assam.
The University is located in the heart of the city of Guwahati, the gateway to the Northeast, and is committed to the pursuit of academic excellence and the promotion of a culture of research and innovation.
Pragjyotishpur University was founded with a resolve to nurture a center of world-class education and research driven by a cross-cutting approach for overcoming barriers to knowledge creation, sustenance, and dissemination. Each and every corner of this university rings with the rhythm of the true essence of Jñāna (knowledge), Prajñā (wisdom), and Satya (truth), three principles explicitly incorporated in the mandate of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Pragjyotishpur University can accordingly be seen as a seat of learning out of the NEP 2020.
The NEP 2020 informs the direction of academic activities in the University, which formally began conducting classes at the Undergraduate level on Friday, the 1st of September 2023, for its maiden Academic Session of 2023-24. Heading into the Academic Session 2024-25, the University shall introduce undergraduate programmes with Honours and integrated Masters under five Schools of Academic Excellence, and, with due approval from the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI), courses in the Pharmaceutical Sciences.
