St. Joseph's PU College, Anekal, India, was founded by the Society of Jesus in 2010 in Anekal town, a suburb of Bangalore. It offers two years of pre-university education to an underserved rural population. A feeder school is the Jesuit St. Joseph School, Anekal less than 2 kilometers away.
In 2015 there were 542 students studying in both I and II PU in different streams: PCMB, PCMC, HEBA, CEBA and HEPS. There are a total of 28 staff members.[1]
Hindu activists have attacked the students and administrators three times, with seeming impunity under the BJP government in Karnataka. The student body consists of 60% Dalit Hindus with the remainder Christians and Muslims.[2]
