Jammu-Kashmir reveals winter break dates for schools

India Nov 25, 2025

Jammu and Kashmir has rolled out its winter vacation plan for schools in the Kashmir Valley and Jammu's winter zone.
The break starts early for the youngest kids—pre-primary classes get off from November 26, Classes 1-8 finish up by December 1, and Classes 9-12 wrap up on December 11.
Senior students head back on February 22, while younger classes return March 1.

Why should you care?

This schedule is all about keeping students safe during the region's freezing winters—temperatures can dip well below zero.
If you're comparing with friends elsewhere: Delhi's school break runs January 1-15, Haryana follows a similar timeline, and Uttar Pradesh hasn't announced its dates yet.
School calendars really do depend on where you live!
