Panchakot Mahavidyalaya, established in 2001, is the general degree college in the Purulia district. It offers undergraduate courses in arts, commerce and sciences. It is affiliated to Sidho Kanho Birsha University.[1]
History[edit]
Panchakot Mahavidyalaya has been established in the month of September 2000, mainly on the strength of public donation. The establishment of the college owes a lot to the generous help and active co-operation of the local people and the dedicated efforts of some visionaries of the district of Purulia. Special thanks are due to the Government of West Bengal and The University of Burdwan for their spontaneous positive response that effectively materialized in the establishment of this long dreamt institution of higher education. Thanks are also due to those who have generously donated their valuable land and money to this noble purpose. We must mention the generous sanctions from University Grants Commission, Higher Education Deptt, Govt. of West Bengal, MPLAD & BEUP schemes, Zilla Parishad, Purulia, Backward Class Welfare Deptt, and District Youth Office, with which a major portion of the infrastructure is built or under construction. We have been accredited by NAAC with grade-B w.e.f. 04.03.2015.

Physically it is located at Sarbari More beside Purilia-Barakar Road on one side and Panchet-Madhukunda Road on the other.
