St. Joseph’s Institute of Management

The JOSEPHITE tradition started in Bangalore with the opening of the St. Joseph's European High School by the Paris Foreign Mission Fathers in 1858. In 1884, St. Joseph's College was established. It has grown steadily and today has more than 10,000 students enrolled at the Undergraduate and Post Graduate courses in Arts, Science, Commerce, Computer, Law and Management disciplines in its independent Colleges namely, St. Joseph's University, St. Joseph's College of Commerce, St. Joseph's Evening College, St. Joseph’s College of Law and St. Joseph's Institute of Management, formerly called as St. Joseph’s College of Business Administration. The Jesuit Fathers, however, came into the picture in 1937 when the Paris Foreign Mission handed over all Joseph's Institutions to them.
