Autonomous (SCC) was established in 2005 by the international Missionary Congregation of Claretians who manage two universities and over 150 educational institutions in 71 countries around the world. The Bengaluru campus is managed by Claretian Society for Integral Human Development which was established in 1989 with the aim of providing holistic and quality education. Apart from St. Claret College, the campus shelters three other educational institutions: St. Claret Pre-University College, St. Claret School, and Anthony Claret (AC) School. Moved by the spiritual inspiration of St. Anthony Mary Claret, its patron, and supported by the robust Christian intellectual tradition, SCC offers integral education to transform students to be enlightened leaders who bring about a civilization of love and harmony. SCC is recognized by UGC, permanently affiliated to Bangalore University, approved by AICTE and is accredited by NAAC with A+ Grade. In 2024, UGC granted St. Claret College the Autonomous Status.
