The classes for the first and second PU courses for the new academic year began across Mysuru district on Thursday.
In some colleges, lecturers greeted students with roses and the students who cleared the SSLC examination were seen excited to step into colleges to begin a new inning.
Deputy Director of Pre-University Education Srinivasamurthy said the demand for seats in government PU colleges has gone up and meritorious students who cleared the SSLC exam with good marks have taken admissions in the government colleges instead of going to private institutions.
