Tamil Nadu School Holidays in November 2025: Full List and Details
After enjoying a long list of holidays in October, students across Tamil Nadu are now back to school for a regular academic schedule in November 2025. The previous month was filled with festive holidays, rain holidays, and weekends, giving students plenty of time to rest and celebrate with their families.
In October, schools remained closed for several days due to Gandhi Jayanti, Diwali, and unexpected rain holidays. Some districts even declared extra holidays because of heavy rainfall, making October one of the longest holiday months of the year.
However, November brings fewer holidays for students. There are no major state festivals this month, and schools will mostly remain open. Teachers are now focusing on completing portions and revising lessons that were delayed due to the long holiday stretch in October.
Here are the holidays students can look forward to in Tamil Nadu during November 2025:
Here are the main school holidays and breaks Tamil Nadu students can look forward to this month:

- November 8, 15, 22, 29 – All Saturdays (regular weekly holidays)

Apart from these, certain districts might have local holidays for regional events or temple festivals. Even though November has fewer holidays, students will still get enough time to relax on weekends.
The next long holiday for schools in Tamil Nadu will be the Christmas vacation in December, which students eagerly look forward to after a busy academic month.
