COLLEGE AT A GLANCE
Envisioned by the CMI Congregation and established in 1956, St Joseph College, Devagiri, affiliated to the University of Calicut has been imparting quality education for the last 68 years as one of the most prestigious Arts & Science Colleges in Malabar. True to its Motto, PRO DEO ET PATRIA (For God and Country), the institution works with commitment to create a just and humane society, upholding national integration and religious harmony, with special emphasis on the enrichment of the poor and the marginalized. As recognition of its endeavours and achievements in the academic, cultural and social realms, NAAC had accredited the College with A Grade in 2004, and the institution was re-accredited with a CGPA of 3.63 on a four point scale in 2011. The College was recognized as a "College with Potential for Excellence" by UGC in 2010 and was conferred autonomy in the year 2014. In 2016, the college was Re-accredited by NAAC as the first college to be awarded with A++ grade in the Country with a CGPA of 3.76 on a four point scale. In 2024, the college was Re-accredited by NAAC in the fourth cycle with A++ grade with a CGPA of 3.65 on a four-point scale in Autonomous College Category. Maintaining an ideal ambience and striking a delicate balance between curricular and co-curricular activities, this institution has produced more than 200 toppers in University examinations.
Empowerment of students for their all-around development through education is our cherished motto. Today education means much more than merely acquiring knowledge. It is acquisition of knowledge and skills, building character and improving the employability of our young talent, the future leadership. I am sure, the ‘heritage of Devagiri’ imbibed provides them a strong foundation to march ahead for a stronger and brighter India. Measures initiated by the Management, steps taken by the college administration, the willing contribution of the teaching and non-teaching staff and over whelming response and enthusiastic participation of our students and their parents activates in the recent past all vouch for this. When all these constituents come together and work in harmony, the expected results are bound to flow. I am proud of being the Principal of such a wonderful institution dedicated to God and Country. Come on, let’s give our best and make this institution a modern temple of learning through our diligence, devotion and dedication. Wishing you all the best…!
“To form leaders who are intellectually competent, spiritually mature, morally upright, psychologically acceptable who will champion the cause of justice, love, truth and peace and who are ever open to further growth.
To create a just and humane society where dignity of the human person is respected, where unjust social structures are challenged, where our cultural heritage of ahimsa, religious harmony and national integration is upheld, and where the poor and the marginalised are specially taken care of.”
