We report the electronic transport, magneto-transport, and magnetic properties of nanocrystalline Pr{sub 0.67}Ca{sub 0.33}MnO{sub 3} compound. A magnetic field induced insulator—metal transition appears for the external magnetic field higher than 50 kOe. We have obtained large value of the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) along with magnetoresistance and field coefficient of resistance (FCR). The value of TCR is 135%/K at 48 K. The calculated magnetoresistance is about −9.8 × 10{sup 7}% for 70 kOe and maximum FCR is about 320%/kOe around 75 K. Due to the application of the external magnetic field, charge ordered state of the compound is destabilized leading to such large values of TCR and FCR. Large values of TCR and FCR along with the large magnetoresistance exhibited by the material is interesting from the application point of view.
