 The College Crest

Encircling the coat of arms, the Crest sports two scrolls, one above the crown, in which is
inscribed the motto of the College in Latin - Fide et Labore meaning 'By Faith and Toil', and
the other beneath palm leaves, with the name of the Institution. The shield at the centre
bears a Cross which symbolises Christian faith, and the two bees on either side of the lower
part of the cross depict tireless work. The palm leaves encasing the shield are the sign of
victory, and the crown above, the crown of glory.

The College motto Fide et Labore is an invitation to our students to

make a personal commitment to God, to fellow human beings and to
intellectual pursuits. Success is the assured outcome of hard work.
 Shaping History
In Bangalore, someone somewhere is likely to know friends and/or family who have been Josephites. This is almost a
truism owing to St. Joseph's heritage. St. Joseph's Institutions have been an integral part of the educational landscape of
Bangalore since 1858.

For more than a century St. Joseph's has imparted value based education to countless generations. The well-rounded
Josephites stepping out of these portals stand tall among equals. Personalities dotting the Hall of Fame stretch far and
wide.

St. Joseph's Institutions are run by the Bangalore Jesuit Educational Society (BJES). The St. Joseph's Group of Institutes
include

St. Joseph's College of Business Administration (SJCBA)

St. Joseph's College of Business Administration (SJCBA) is by no means a new chapter in St. Joseph's history. It has
been conducting One Year Evening Management courses since 1968. The courses were a great help to working executives
and the Diploma awarded by the college was well accepted by corporates.

SJCBA let its actions speak louder than words.

Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) – Full Time

The full-time Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) course was a quiet and natural progression, launched in
1996, with AICTE approval. SJCBA has been quietly and consistently sending out graduates equipped with excellent
conceptual and practical skills.
SJCBA has an independent campus located on Residency Road (F. M. Cariappa Road), at the heart of a bustling commercial
hub of Bangalore. Easy accessibility to corporate houses, for practical assignment work is a unique advantage to
students.

Other Courses
Executive Post Graduate Diploma in Management (E-PGDM)
Post Graduate Certificate in Management (PGCM)
Executive Post Graduate Diploma in Management
In August 2007 SJCBA secured approval from AICTE for offering the Executive PGDM course. The program brings
executives with rich industry experience keen to widen their scope of knowledge as a supplement to their experience.

SJCBA is in its third batch of E-PGDM and those graduating willingly give back to the college by way of sharing their
industry expertise and/or facilitating summer and final placements.

This again talks about the quality of the program delivered.

Post Graduate Certificate in Management

In 2007, another AICTE approved course was launched, the Post Graduate Certificate in Management (PGCM). Aimed at
those wanting to equip themselves with basic management skills, this one year course enables many to better their
employment prospects, and fulfils the 16th year of graduation.
