Pragjyotishpur University abides by the UGC’s 'Curbing the Menace of Ragging in Higher Educational Institutions (third amendment), Regulations, 2016', and acknowledges the following definition of ragging as given therein: "Any act of physical or mental abuse (including bullying and exclusion) targeted at another student (fresher or otherwise) on the ground of colour, race, religion, caste, ethnicity, gender (including transgender), sexual orientation, appearance, nationality, regional origins, linguistic identity, place of birth, place of residence or economic background."

Instances of ragging, if they occur, can be promptly brought to the notice of the Anti-Ragging Committee.
