working is thus made available to interested, potential students. Admission details are
posted on the College notice-boards in all three blocks namely, the Humanities Block,
the Science Block and the Postgraduate Block. The College thus promises to offer
students a rich experience with a multitude of intellectual and cultural opportunities.
The admission processes are planned very carefully to ensure transparency and
availability of information at all times to all the stakeholders.

Pre-Admission Phase:
A selection committee with the Principal as the Convener, a representative from the
Local Superior and a few senior staff members as members is constituted to process
all the applications. The selection of the applicants to be admitted is decided by this
committee. The College is a Christian minority institution and as a result has an
admission policy suiting this status. The College implements the Reservation Policy.
The criteria for admission is established and scrupulously observed.
40%: OBC, Hindus, Muslims and others.
10%: SC/ST
50%: Catholics
The broad guidelines to be followed during the admission process are discussed and
approved by the Staff Council. A detailed allotment list is prepared to assign
admission tasks to faculty members. A committee is set up for the framing of question
papers for courses requiring an admission test and for the conducting of these tests, if
required.
A detailed set of guidelines for admission, eligibility criteria, fees, list of documents
required, hostel admission details, the ―No Capitation Fee‖ notice and a list of
answers to ‗Frequently Asked Questions‘ are thereafter displayed prominently on the
College notice-boards. This information is also printed in the College prospectus and
made available, with the application forms, on the College website
(http://www.sjc.ac.in). Student Volunteers assist the committee at all times.

Publicity and Transparency during the Admission Process:
 The College forms an Admission Committee, which has representatives from all
departments. New faculty members are trained in the process in order to help them
conduct the admission interviews. A newly recruited faculty member is accompanied
by a senior faculty member during the admission process. The coordinator of the
committee reviews the admission process on a daily basis to ensure that the
admissions are conducted in a smooth and transparent manner. A detailed schedule
with faculty names, course lists, dates and timings is created and put up on the notice
board to assist in the admission process.
 A Help Desk is created and manned by faculty members, on a rotation basis, which
assists all prospective students who visit the College seeking information about
admissions. Students seeking admission to the College can apply using the link to the
application form which is available on the College website. Students also have the
option of coming to the College premises to fill in the application form online using
College computers. Adherence to Bangalore University requirements for admission in
terms of marks, and cognate subjects is also emphasized on the College website.

date and time of interview which is conducted on the College premises. The list of
candidates is uploaded on the College website immediately after the list is finalized.
