In 1884 its status was updated to higher secondary college which was further revised in 1975 when Jagannath started taking students in "Honours" and "Masters" programs. Its higher secondary program continued for 92 years until it was officially closed in 1982. In 2005 college was granted university status and became Jagannath University.
