Are you talking about USA or some other countries, because the term PR is not used in the USA? Are you asking about Green Card?

Well, GC is a bit complex issue with several checks and criteria. The summarized lists are here

I believe it'll be hard to get a green card directly from student visa. You'll need a strong employment reference for that.

By the way, I stand corrected, Green Card is sometimes known as Permanent Resident Card, so you were correct .
