Director of census operation R K Das said the second phase of census will start from February 9 and end on February 28.
The third and final phase will begin on March 1 and end on March 31 after which the final figures will be declared, he said.
As per projected figures, the state's population will be 3.05 crore this year against 2.67 crore in 2001, registering a 14.7 per cent increase.
Asked whether the census figures would include illegal migrants from Bangladesh, Das said the Directorate was concerned with ascertaining the overall population.
"We ask the foreigner who stays within the enumeration period whether his/her name has been enumerated in any other country and if the answer is no then he or she is enumerated," he said.
A highlight will be the enumeration of the homeless people which will be carried out on the night of February 28, he added.
