In Malappuram district, due to heavy rainfall, the District Collector has declared a holiday tomorrow for all educational institutions except professional colleges. This includes madrassas, anganwadis, and tuition centres. However, exams scheduled earlier will not be postponed.

Previously scheduled exams will remain unaffected.

However, there is no change in the schedule for previously planned exams and interviews. The holiday does not apply to the Revenue District School Arts Festival or residential schools.
