Our Story

Rooted in Values.
Ready for the World.

St. Joseph’s College of Commerce (SJCC), formerly a part of St. Joseph’s College, established in the year 1882, is managed by the Bangalore Jesuit Educational Society (BJES). The BJES is a unit of a Catholic religious order called the Society of Jesus founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola in 1540. The Department of Commerce was established at St. Joseph’s College in the year 1949 which later became an independent college with its own building on Brigade road in the year 1972. The college has in its vision a model for higher education which encourages individuals to dream of a socially just world and in its mission a strategy to empower individuals in realising that dream.

With an objective to impart quality education, the college has been innovating in all aspects of higher education.

Principal's Message

Dear Students,

In 1993, the International Commission on Apostolate of Jesuit Education issued “Ignatian Pedagogy: A Practical Approach” as a framework for the learning process in Jesuit institutions. It addresses the teacher-learner relationship and has practical application for classroom interaction. This model is called the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (IPP), also known as the Integrated Pedagogical Paradigm. It encapsulates five elements that should challenge the learning experience, namely Context, Experience, Reflection, Action and Evaluation.
