Winter Vacation: When will winter vacation be in Delhi, Noida, and Ghaziabad? All schools may be closed from this date..
Winter Vacation: School students in Delhi, Noida, and Ghaziabad are eagerly awaiting their winter vacation. As December begins in North India, the cold intensifies, leading to the declaration of long holidays in schools every year. However, the dates for the holidays for the academic session 2025-26 have not yet been released by the education department or the local district magistrate. But considering the patterns of previous years and the current cold weather trends, the winter vacation is expected to start soon.
Noida and Ghaziabad are part of the Delhi-NCR region. Here, the winter vacation usually runs from the last week of December to the middle of January. These holidays protect children from the biting cold and dense fog. According to previous reports and academic calendars, this vacation usually starts around Christmas (December 25) or December 31 and lasts for approximately 10 to 15 days. Depending on the intensity of the cold, the DM sometimes extends the winter holidays, as has happened in previous years.
Schools Closed in Delhi NCR: When can the winter vacation start in Delhi-NCR?
Two main dates are being speculated for the start of the winter vacation in schools in Noida and Ghaziabad, based on previous academic patterns:
Estimated start date 1: December 25, 2025 (along with Christmas)
Estimated start date 2: December 31, 2025 (just before the New Year)
Duration of vacation: Approximately 10 to 15 days.
Possible school reopening date: In the second week of January 2026.
According to the government's academic calendar, schools in Uttar Pradesh usually declare a winter vacation of approximately 12 days, which may be from December 20 to December 31, 2025. But in Noida and Ghaziabad, the final decision is taken by the DM considering the local weather conditions. Winter Vacation Pattern for the Last 4 Years
The pattern of winter vacations in schools across Uttar Pradesh, including Noida and Ghaziabad, has remained largely consistent over the past few years, typically starting on December 31st and extending until mid-January:
Academic Year Holiday Start Date Holiday End Date Total Duration (Approx.)
2023 December 31 January 14 15 days
2022 December 31 January 14 15 days
2021 December 31 January 14 15 days
In some years, the holidays for schools from classes 1 to 8 in Ghaziabad were extended until January 18th. This is entirely dependent on the weather conditions.
Things to Keep in Mind
Students and parents should note that the final decision is issued by the respective District Magistrate only after assessing the severity of the cold wave and dense fog conditions.
Final Decision: Rely only on the official announcement from the Education Department or the District Magistrate of Noida/Ghaziabad for the official declaration of holidays.
Homework: To ensure that children's studies are not disrupted during the long holidays, teachers assign homework.
