The Department of Pre-University Education has declared a holiday for colleges across the State on May 11 and 12 in light of the Assembly elections.
A circular said all PU colleges would remain closed on the two days as lecturers would be roped in for election duty and some of the colleges would be used as polling booths.
This year, the II PU classes will reopen on May 2, a month in advance.
