(School-specific winter vacation usually applies — official winter break ends before Jan starts.)
Most UP schools don’t give a long Christmas break, but:
- 25 Dec (Fri) – Christmas 🎄 (some schools count it as closed)
(Official winter vacation for 2025–26 was Dec 20–31, but schools reopen Jan 2026)
🏖️ Seasonal Vacations (Common)
✔ Winter Vacation: ~Late Dec 2025 → Early Jan 2026
Schools typically closed around 20 Dec 2025 – 31 Dec 2025, then reopen in Jan 2026.
(Exact dates may vary by school.)
✔ Summer Vacation:
Usually May–June (about 4–6 weeks), but exact dates vary school to school.
✔ Dussehra & Diwali Breaks:
Schools usually give multi-day breaks around Dussehra and Diwali, but timing depends on religious calendars and school policy.
