St. Joseph's Pre-University College was founded in 1882 by French Foreign Missionary Fathers to offer a liberal education for the boys of European and Anglo-Indian families. After India's independence, admission was extended in the 1950s and 1960s to include male students irrespective of race, religion or caste. In 1937, the management of the College was handed over to the Jesuits of Karnataka Province.
St Joseph’s Pre University College became an independent institution in 2001after the bifurcation of Pre University course from the graduate course as decided by the Government of Karnataka.
Success in St Joseph’s is not defined just in terms of academic excellence, but in directing its educational efforts to make future leaders, with a holistic combination of intellectual prowess. While we do not compromise on academics, we aim at forming students with social concern, conscience, compassion and personal and moral values. Down the years, Josephites have made our institution and our nation proud. Our students have contributed positively to the society at large.
There are 2778 students presently studying at SJPUC.
The College annually conducts an intra-collegiate fest called "Andromeda", which showcases the talents of the students by means of activities such as quizzes, science models, singing, beat boxing, a fashion parade, etc. An annual inter-collegiate fest called "Equinox" attracts about 5,000 students from across Bangalore
