Assam school holiday November 2026: Check the complete list of school holidays for Diwali, Kali Puja, Bhai Dooj, Chhath Puja and Lachit Divas, along with reopening dates and weekly breaks for students.
The Assam School Holiday list for November 2026 brings several festival holidays for students across the state. According to the official holiday calendar released by the Assam government, schools will remain closed on November 8 for Kali Puja and Diwali, November 11 for Bhai Dooj, November 15 for Chhath Puja, and November 24 for Lachit Divas and Guru Nanak Jayanti. The holiday list was issued by the General Administration Department through an official notification. These holidays will help families plan their festive celebrations, travel and study schedules in advance. Kali Puja is particularly important in Assam, where homes, streets and markets are decorated with lights and lamps during Diwali. However, Diwali and Chhath Puja fall on Sundays this year, so students will get no additional weekday break for these two festivals.

When Will Schools Reopen in Assam After the November Holidays?
The Assam school holiday calendar for November 2026 includes separate holidays for different festivals rather than one long vacation. Schools will reopen on Thursday, November 12, after the Bhai Dooj holiday on Wednesday. After Chhath Puja on Sunday, November 15, regular classes will resume on Monday, November 16. Similarly, students will return to school on Wednesday, November 25, following the Lachit Divas and Guru Nanak Jayanti holiday on Tuesday. This means students will have regular classes between the festival holidays, with no extended break during the month. However, some private schools may announce additional holidays around Govardhan Puja or Chhath Puja, depending on their academic calendars. Parents should check their school's official notices for any changes.
Students can plan their studies and festive activities in advance to avoid missing lessons. Completing homework before the holidays and using weekends for revision can help them stay on track. Parents can also plan family visits and short trips around the available holidays. Since November has several festivals and weekly breaks, checking the school calendar beforehand will help everyone manage their plans without disrupting regular classes.
