DESCRIPTION :

St. Joseph's College (Autonomous)¸ Bangalore is one of the oldest colleges in the State of Karnataka with a history of more than 130 years behind it. It imparts graduate¸ post-graduate and research education while searching¸ renewing and expanding itself¸ attempting to be ever relevant to the changing situations of the times.

The college was founded in 1882 by the Fathers of the French Foreign Mission. The need for instituting a College of this magnitude in Bangalore was felt by the catholic Missionaries and it was the vicar apostolic of the coramandel coast¸ the Rev. Dr. Bonnand¸ who propounded the idea¸ in 1841¸ in a letter to Rev. Fr. Bertrand. Complying with the order¸ the Foreign Missions Society of Paris bought a plot of land on St. John's Hill and gradually made the transition to the location it occupies today.

The Cantonment of Bangalore could now boast of an Educational Institution that would cater to the needs of the students¸ just as that venerable Institution¸ the Central College¸ was doing for the Bangalore City area.
