St. Aloysius College (Mangalore)

What St. Aloysius College (Mangalore) does

St Aloysius (Deemed to be University), formerly St Aloysius College (Autonomous), is a 146-year-old Jesuit institution located in Kodialbail, Mangalore, Karnataka, and administered by the Mangalore Jesuit Educational Society (MJES). It operates 12 academic schools covering Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Information Science and Technology, Arts and Humanities, Commerce Finance and Accountancy, Business and Management, Languages and Cultural Studies, Vocational Studies, Law, Education, and Engineering, alongside a dedicated AIMIT campus for MBA and IT programs. The institution holds NAAC A+ accreditation, UGC Category-I status (the second deemed university in Karnataka to do so), and DASCA Accreditation for data science education.

The university generates revenue primarily through tuition and academic fees across undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs billed annually, with scholarships available for meritorious and economically weaker students. Its technology and infrastructure stack includes an AI Lab, modern IT infrastructure, an Advanced Instrumentation Center, an LMS-based e-learning platform, an Olympic-standard eight-lane swimming pool (Rs. 8 crore investment), the Aloyseum museum, the Alvana arboretum, and Radio Sarang 107.8 FM, a community radio broadcasting 16 hours daily in four local languages. International exposure is delivered through an MSc Data Science partnership with Leeds Beckett University (UK) and an industry-focused MA in Kannada integrating AI, media, and literature. Distribution is direct-to-student via the main Mangalore campus, the AIMIT campus, and an online application portal, with marketing supplemented by a 360-degree virtual campus tour and community outreach through Radio Sarang reaching Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, and Kasargod districts.

The entity is a private nonprofit trust (St Aloysius Deemed To Be University Trust) governed by the MJES under the Society of Jesus, with no venture capital or private equity involvement. Campus placement relationships span IT services (KPMG, Walmart India, Cerner Corporation, Dell-EMC, Digital Dwarves) and banking sector employers, and the institution has received multiple National Awards from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for its Radio Sarang programming.
