Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) across India have announced their vacation and break schedule for the academic year 2025-26. The academic calendar is designed to provide students with a balanced approach to learning and rest. The summer vacation is set to begin from May 02, 2025, and will last until June 20, 2025, allowing students a substantial break during the hot months. Additionally, a winter break will be observed from December 23, 2025, to January 1, 2026, providing students with time to rejuvenate during the colder season. December 4, 2025 to January 22, 2026 will be the longest winter break in the coldest places in KVs. In addition to the main vacations, KVs will also observe autumn break from September 27 to October 17, 2025.
