Dear Josephites,
Welcome to St. Joseph’s College of Commerce! This Student Handbook serves
as your guide to navigating your journey at our esteemed institution. Within
these pages, you will find essential information, policies, and resources
designed to support your academic, personal, and social development.
St. Joseph’s College of Commerce is deeply rooted in the traditions of the
Society of Jesus, a Catholic Religious Order founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola
in 1540. The Jesuits have a long and distinguished history of promoting
education on a global scale.
Originally established in 1949 as the Department of Commerce within St.
Joseph’s College, our institution evolved into an independent college known
as St. Joseph’s College of Commerce (SJCC). In 1972, SJCC relocated to its
current campus at 163 Brigade Road in Bangalore. Registered under the
Bangalore Jesuit Educational Society, St. Joseph’s College of Commerce
remains committed to its mission of providing quality education. While it is
a religious minority institution with a primary focus on educating Catholic
youth, we extend a warm welcome to students from all backgrounds,
without distinction of caste or creed. Through our admission policy, we
prioritize socio-economically marginalized students, in line with our ethos
of inclusivity and social justice.

comprises senior academic administrators of the college and serves as
the primary policy-making body within the institution. It facilitates
discussions and finalizes internal processes to ensure the efficient and
effective functioning of the college. This includes meticulous planning and
coordination for the introduction of new programmes, policies, or changes
in existing processes, along with ensuring effective communication of
outcomes to relevant departments.
In response to the increasing demand for quality education and heightened

cohesiveness, flexibility, and competitiveness in the education sector
efficiently and effectively. By adopting TQM principles, the college strives
to meet the evolving needs of students and society. TQM activities span
across all departments, addressing the current and future needs of all
stakeholders.
As a steering committee, the TQM ratifies all internal processes, initiatives,
and procedures aimed at achieving quality performance. It identifies
individuals and groups responsible for implementing selected criteria, thus
fostering quality performance in education programs. These initiatives have
propelled the institution towards achieving academic excellence, social
concern, and character formation—The core values of St. Joseph’s College
of Commerce.
CQAC (College Quality Assurance Cell)

one member from each department, and the Total Quality Management
(TQM) Team. CQAC meetings are scheduled at the beginning, during, and at
the end of every academic year to facilitate comprehensive oversight. At the
outset of each year, the CQAC prepares a year plan to ensure effective quality
management. This body is responsible for establishing and maintaining
quality mechanisms, listening to student feedback, responding to concerns,
and communicating outcomes to relevant departments. Additionally, the
CQAC monitors policies and strategies pertaining to academic standards and
quality assurance for all programmes. It also initiates learning opportunities
and assesses modes of delivery to enhance educational effectiveness.
SQAC (Student Quality Assurance Cell)
The Student Quality Assurance Cell (SQAC) comprises one student
representative from each class, aiming to foster student engagement in quality-
related matters. It facilitates validation and feedback systems, including input
from alumni, and coordinates departmental Alumni Meets. On a monthly
basis, the SQAC reviews course curricula and lesson plans for appropriateness
and compliance, actively participates in continuous internal assessments, and
reports findings to the College Quality Assurance Cell (CQAC). This body
serves as a vital link between students and quality-related decisions and
communications regarding courses/programmes. Members are expected to

16
 St. Joseph’s College of Commerce Student Handbook 2024-25

goal is to support students from weaker and underprivileged sections of
society by providing higher education and ensuring inclusiveness. During

disadvantaged backgrounds, and conscious efforts are made to integrate
them into the student community. Periodic tracking of their progress allows
for timely interventions when needed.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND FREESHIPS

to the improvement of these villages. Notably, completion of 60 hours of

SOCIAL INTERNSHIPS

students engage in diverse areas of support for the underprivileged. While these
internships are primarily voluntary, some also present potential employment
avenues in the social sector. This initiative is designed to deepen students’
comprehension of social issues and foster active involvement in effecting
positive change for disadvantaged communities. Notably, completion of a 60-
hour internship before the commencement of the 3rd semester is mandatory
for graduation from St. Joseph’s College of Commerce.

ENGAGEMENT BEYOND CLASSROOM

At St. Joseph’s College of Commerce (SJCC), education transcends traditional
classroom boundaries. The college’s vibrant array of associations and clubs
plays a pivotal role in orchestrating events year-round. Serving as dynamic
platforms for creative expression, these associations and clubs encompass
literary and dramatic arts, music, and dance. Beyond artistic endeavours,
these events foster a deeper societal understanding, forge connections with
marginalized communities, and extend immediate aid to those in need.
Moreover, students explore the realms of business and commerce through

STATUTORY AND OTHER COMMITTEES OF THE COLLEGE:

STATUTORY COMMITTEES:

The College has established statutory committees such as the Governing

Body, the Academic Council, the Board of Studies for various programmes,
and the Finance Committee, Internal Complaints Committee and Anti
Ragging Committee to facilitate the smooth operation of the institution.

Finance Committee

Coordinator Dr. Charles Lasrado, SJ

Member Fr. Joel Fernandes, SJ

Member Dr. Veenu Joy

Member Mr. Asad Pasha

Internal Complaints Committee (ICC)

The Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) has been constituted in strict

adherence to the guidelines specified in the “Sexual Harassment of Women
at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013,” and the
University Grants Commission’s notification on the “Prevention, Prohibition
and Redressal of Sexual Harassment of Women Employees and Students
in Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs), 2015.” This committee operates
at the institutional level and is responsible for developing and maintaining
an inbuilt mechanism for gender sensitization against sexual harassment,
emphasizing the legal framework, mechanisms, and obligations for
preventing and addressing such issues within our institution.

The ICC focuses on creating a safe working environment by clearly

displaying the penal consequences of sexual harassment and organizing
workshops and awareness programs at regular intervals to educate the
community. It is responsible for receiving complaints, conducting thorough
inquiries, and recommending appropriate actions. To ensure a fair and
confidential process, the committee has established a detailed step-by-step
guide outlining the handling of complaints, ensuring the confidentiality
of the complainant, and providing protection against victimization or
retaliation.

49
 St. Joseph’s College of Commerce Student Handbook 2024-25
Moreover, the ICC emphasizes the establishment of a grievance redressal
mechanism with clear processes for lodging complaints and conducting
inquiries. Interim measures are provided to offer immediate relief to the
complainant during the inquiry process. The committee also specifies the
consequences of non-compliance with established guidelines, ensuring
accountability. Additionally, the formation of a dedicated women’s cell
provides further support and guidance to individuals facing harassment.
The institution prominently displays banners, posters, and information
about ICC committee members, toll-free numbers for reporting incidents,
and billboards outlining the penal consequences of sexual harassment. This
comprehensive approach ensures compliance with UGC portal requirements
concerning adherence to regulations and the constitution of the ICC. The
organization of regular training programs and awareness workshops
underscores the institution’s commitment to sustaining a respectful and
supportive community.
Students who believe they are victims of sexual harassment may lodge a
complaint in person with the Committee (viz., sexual harassment complaints
committee), or send an email to [email protected], including their name and
register number.

in or facilitating ragging activities. Any complaints regarding instances of

50
 St. Joseph’s College of Commerce Student Handbook 2024-25

OTHER COMMITTEES:
a) Grievance and Malpractice (Prevention & Redressal) Committee
1. Any grievance that a student may have regarding other students,
management, staff, infrastructure, Continuous Internal Assessment
(CIA), examinations, or related matters must initially be addressed with
the concerned teacher, Class Mentor, or Controller of Examinations.
Efforts will be made to resolve the issue at this level.
2. Unresolved matters at the classroom level should be escalated to the
Grievance Committee.
a. The grievance must be documented in writing.
b. The written grievance must be submitted to the Coordinator of the Grievance
Committee through the Class Mentor or another staff member.
3. The Grievance Committee will convene at least three times annually,
specifically twice after the publication of end semester results (in June
and December). Additional meetings may be scheduled as needed,
based on the urgency of the situation.
4. The Grievance Committee may invite the Student Counsellor, a Member
of the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), or any other staff member to
participate in the meeting, depending on the nature of the grievance.

51
 St. Joseph’s College of Commerce Student Handbook 2024-25
5. The Grievance Committee will deliberate on the matter and its decision
will be communicated to the Principal and the concerned parties
through the Coordinator of the Grievance Committee.
6. All instances of malpractice in examinations and internal assessments
will be referred to the Malpractice Committee. This Committee
will ensure a fair hearing for students suspected of involvement in
malpractice and will submit its findings to the Principal. The Principal
and the Controller of Examinations will make a final decision based on
the Committee’s report.
7. All grievances must be routed through this formal channel. The signing
of petitions, organizing protests, expressing outrage on social media,
or resorting to any other informal modes of complaint will be strongly
discouraged and addressed by the Institution. The College maintains a strict
policy that all grievances should be communicated and resolved through
the established procedures to ensure fairness, confidentiality, and proper
resolution. Engaging in unauthorized activities to express grievances may
result in disciplinary action as per the College’s regulations.
