Polling will be held on November 4 in two sessions, from 9 am to 1 pm and 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, with counting to begin at 9 pm. ‘The final results will be declared on November 6.

‘This year’s contest is primarily between the Left Unity, comprising the All India Students’ Association (AISA), Students’ Federation of India (SFI) and Democratic Students’ Federation (DSF), and the ABVP, which has mounted an aggressive campaign centred on “performance and nationalism.”
