The Society of Jesus, a Catholic religious order founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola in 1540, has been active in the field of education throughout the world since its origin. Its members are popularly called JESUITS. St. Joseph's Pre-university college is a minority institution, run by Jesuits primarily for the education of catholic youth, has also been at the service of others without any distinction of caste and creed. St. Joseph's College, Bangalore was started by French Foreign Missionary Fathers for the purpose of imparting higher education. In 1937, the Management of the college was handed over to the Jesuits. The St. Joseph's Pre-University College and its Sister institutions are now run by the BANGALORE JESUIT EDUCATION SOCIETY®.
 Since the Government of Karnataka decided to bifurcate the Pre-University studies from the graduation studies, the Management took the decision to merge the commerce section of PUC of St. Joseph's College of Commerce with St. Joseph's Arts and Science Pre-University sections. The PUC Arts and Science sections were separated from St. Joseph's College. The 120 years old college thus gave birth to a new independent Pre-University College. Accordingly St. Joseph's Pre.University College, (SJPUC) came into existence as an independent College in the month of June 2001.
