As summer vacation for schools across India draws to a close, students and parents are eagerly awaiting the dates when schools will reopen. Due to the ongoing intense heatwave, several states including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, and Tamil Nadu have declared extended summer holidays. However, reopening dates vary by state and school board, reflecting regional weather conditions and administrative decisions.
State-Wise School Reopening Schedule
Tamil Nadu: Leading the way, schools from Classes 1 to 12 will reopen earliest on June 2, 2025.

Impact of Heat and Weather Conditions
The respective education departments have indicated that summer holidays may be extended if high temperatures persist. This is especially likely in northern states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has also forecast an early onset of the monsoon in Kerala, potentially from May 27, which could affect reopening schedules in South India.
Guidance for Parents and Students
Authorities advise parents to regularly check their child’s school website or official education department notifications for the latest updates on holiday extensions or reopening dates. Since the schedules differ by state and school board—and can change due to weather or administrative decisions—staying informed will help families plan accordingly.
