St Joseph's College on a 2009 stamp of India

In the year 1854, St. Joseph's was set up by Missions étrangères de Paris (MEP) because of the need to provide education for the small Catholic community comprising about 1000 Europeans and 5000 Indians. Initially the missionaries started St. Joseph's institution as St. Joseph's European High School.

In the year 1882, St Joseph's College was started and was affiliated to the University of Madras as a Second Grade College. In 1926 the University of Madras granted the Institution the status of a First Grade College. On 1 June 1937, the management of the college was transferred to the Society of Jesus. From 1882 to 1937 the college was under the Missions étrangères de Paris. [2] At the time the college consisted of one building, constructed in 1925, accommodating 350 students.

In 1949, following reorganisation of the state of Karnataka, the college was affiliated to Mysore University. In 1967, the college was granted permanent affiliation to Bangalore University. 1972 saw the commerce sections and evening college separated from the main college. In 1982, University Grants Commission recognised the college under 2(f) status of UGC ACT 1956 giving it authority to grant degrees. Further in 1985, University Grants Commission recognised the college under 12(B) of the UGC ACT 1956. In 1986, it became the first affiliated college in Karnataka to offer postgraduate courses.

In 2001 the college moved from the Residency Road campus to new premises in the erstwhile Hostel Campus at the intersection of Langford Road and Lalbagh Road. The pre-university section was separated from the college in 2002 as part of the Karnataka state policy of bifurcation. The college was Accredited by UGC as a college with Potential for Excellence‘ (CPE) on 3 November 2004 and was one of five colleges in Karnataka that was awarded academic autonomy in the year 2005.
