Uttar Pradesh School Holidays November 2025: Full List of School and University Closures!

In November 2025, students and parents in Uttar Pradesh have just two confirmed state holidays for schools and colleges, with the rest of the month following normal academic schedules unless local authorities declare additional closures.

The first public holiday falls on Wednesday, November 5, for Guru Nanak Jayanti- a nationwide gazetted holiday for which schools, colleges and government offices across the state will remain shut. The second key date is Monday, November 24, for Guru Tegh Bahadur Martyrdom Day, which is listed as a restricted holiday: meaning closures are optional and depend on the decision of individual school administrations or local education boards.

Because the state government has not issued any additional holiday notifications for the month, regular Sunday and weekly holiday routines continue, and no blanket mid-month closures are currently scheduled. Students and parents are therefore advised to plan their travel or extra-academic activities accordingly, using the certified holiday dates and keeping in touch with their school or college for any changes.

While the notifications provide clarity on the two key dates, the restricted nature of the November 24 holiday means that some schools may operate as usual this day. It’s recommended that students check circulars, school WhatsApp groups and the official announcements from the Uttar Pradesh education board for confirmation.

With the month offering minimal disruption to classes, schools may use the window to schedule exams, assessments or cultural programmes without major interruption. Families planning short trips or rest days are best advised to align with the November 5 and November 24 dates, while keeping weekdays flexible.

In summary, for November 2025, Uttar Pradesh has a simple and focused holiday calendar: one guaranteed closure on November 5 and a conditional one on November 24. With no other state-level shutdowns declared, the academic year proceeds largely uninterrupted. Parents and students should monitor local notifications for any additional or updated holiday announcements.
