About St Joseph's College of Commerce Bengaluru
About St Joseph's College of Commerce Bengaluru
St Joseph's College of Commerce (SJCC), Bengaluru was established in 1882 by the Society of Jesus. It holds autonomous status under Bengaluru City University with NAAC A+ accreditation. In practical terms: SJCC is the college Bengaluru commerce students target first, and most don't get in — the BCom general category typically requires 85%+ in 12th Commerce, and the shortlist fills within days of the application window opening. The college is at 163 Brigade Road, roughly 800 metres from MG Road Metro station.
Being autonomous means SJCC sets its own syllabus — it updates faster than affiliating university syllabi, which is why the BBA and BCom programmes here cover financial modelling, Excel analytics, and case-based learning that standard university curricula don't include until postgraduate level.
