“The dates for voting for individual colleges will be declared in the coming week,” Debashis Biswas, inspector of colleges (IoC), said, adding that colleges where classes take place in different time shifts or batches will vote on more than one day. “Colleges will be divided into different zones after discussing with the local administration and police,” Biswas said.
