School Break Commences on July 26, 2025, in Specific States; Find Detailed School Closure Information Here
On July 26, 2025, school closures and holidays across India vary by state, with different reasons behind each decision.
In Haryana, all government and private schools are closed to facilitate the Common Eligibility Test (CET) exam for Group-C government jobs. Schools are used as exam centers, with strict security and exam-related restrictions in place. The government emphasizes a zero-tolerance policy for any unfair means during the CET 2025, and special measures have been implemented, such as no gatherings within 500 meters of exam centers, no parking within 200 meters, and photocopy/printing shops nearby being shut [1][2].
Telangana schools are closed due to heavy rainfall, with the possibility that the closure might extend to July 27. The heavy monsoon rains have made it unsafe for students to attend [1][2].
Andhra Pradesh schools may observe a holiday as July 26 is the fourth Saturday of the month, a common routine break in many states [1][2].
Maharashtra has closed several districts' schools due to heavy rain alerts during the ongoing monsoon season [1][2]. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a "red alert" for extremely heavy rain in Maharashtra [3].
Punjab schools might also have a holiday for the fourth Saturday [1].
Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have not yet announced any statewide school holiday for July 26, 2025, though district-level announcements for Karnataka could still occur based on local conditions such as weather or civic events [2][4]. It is always advisable for parents and students in Karnataka, Kerala, and other areas to check directly with their local school administrations, school websites, or official government websites for the most up-to-date information during exam periods or bad weather.
Staying informed is crucial to know your school schedule during weather emergencies or exam periods. In Haryana, the CET 2025 will be a significant event, and it is essential to be aware of the strict security measures in place [1][2].
