"He has been to New York, in which his brother studies at a college."

Is the above sentence grammatical?

I mean is it ok to put a comma before a preposition and a relative pronoun?

Grammatical, yes, but not natural. We would say where instead of in which . I would use the comma, but I will defer to others more expert than I for a compete explanation of commas before relative clauses.
