The college functions as an affiliated undergraduate institution under Vidyasagar University, headquartered in Midnapore. As with other affiliated colleges in the West Bengal higher education system, examinations and degree awards are administered by the parent university, while the college conducts teaching, internal assessment and student admission.
Ramnagar College offers three-year undergraduate honours and general programmes across the humanities, natural sciences and commerce. Departments typically include subjects such as Bengali, English, History, Political Science, Geography, Economics, Philosophy, Sanskrit, Education, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology and Commerce, with the exact range varying over time according to university approval and student demand.
Ramnagar lies in the southern coastal portion of Purba Medinipur, close to the seaside town of Digha. The college plays an important role in providing access to higher education for students from rural and semi-urban communities in this part of the district, many of whom would otherwise need to travel to Contai (Kanthi), Tamluk or Midnapore for college-level studies.
The college is governed by a managing committee in line with the regulations of the Government of West Bengal's Department of Higher Education and the statutes of Vidyasagar University. Day-to-day administration is led by the Principal, supported by teaching faculty and non-teaching staff. Like most aided colleges in the state, it follows the admission, fee and reservation policies framed by the state government.
The institution maintains a students' union, a library, laboratories for the science departments, and facilities for sports and cultural activities. Annual cultural programmes, departmental seminars and inter-college events form a regular part of campus life.
