The Telangana state government has officially made the Dussehra holiday schedule for the 2025 academic year. The plan lists vacation days for schools and junior colleges so that students and faculty members can spend quality time celebrating the festival with their loved ones.

School Holidays

Post-holiday, students will concentrate on preparation for their first significant exams of the academic year. The Summative Assessment-1 (SA-1) examinations will take place from October 24 to October 31, 2025, and the results are expected to be announced by November 6, 2025.

For Junior College Students

Junior college students will have a brief time slot after the holidays to prepare for their Half-Yearly Examinations, held from November 10 to November 15, 2025.

Planning Holidays and Academic Work
