The Second Assembly was constituted on 22-2-1960, first met on 12-3-1960 and was dissolved on 10-9-1964, recording 12 sessions and 300 sittings.

Why it matters for exams: Whenever the Kerala Assembly meets for a session, the Legislature's own table of Assembly durations is the reference an examiner draws on, and the dates and sitting counts of the First and Second Assemblies are among the most frequently asked Kerala polity facts.
