KOLKATA: The state government has given the go-ahead to reopen school and college campuses from Thursday but several institutes in the city have decided to start physical classes next week after Saraswati Puja so that outstation students get enough time to shift to Kolkata and the authorities can also finish with sanitisation and other arrangements.
In meetings across colleges and universities, the authorities deliberated on the reopening modalities and prioritizing the batches that will be called for in-person classes first. They have also started working on inviting applications for hostel accommodation.
