The JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research, Mauritius (JSSAHERM) was established in 2018 with degree awarding powers and is an approved and registered institution with the Higher Education Commission, Mauritius.

The intention of setting up JSSAHERM as a separate entity from the parent institution (JSSAHER, Mysuru), with degree-awarding powers in Mauritius is in line with the published HEC guidelines, and is motivated by the legacy and sustaining principles of the founding pontiffs of the Sri Suttur Math and the JSS Mahavidyapeetha with a view to provide post-secondary education and training to enhance the quality of life for the benefit of society, with special emphasis in Mauritius and the African region.
