February 2026 School Calendar: Few Holidays, Heavy Exam Pressure for Students

With most festivals falling on weekends or limited to specific states, February 2026 offers very few school holidays, making it one of the most academically demanding months as board exams and internal assessments dominate schedules across India.

February 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most challenging academic months for students across India, particularly for those appearing in Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations. With only a handful of festivals and most of them falling on Sundays or restricted to select states, schools will see minimal disruptions to their academic calendar.

Unlike December and January, which include winter vacations, February moves schools into full examination mode. Alongside board exams, institutions conduct internal assessments, practical exams, pre-boards and syllabus completion, leaving students with little time for breaks or extended holidays.

Key observances such as Sant Ravidas Jayanti and Maha Shivaratri fall on Sundays in 2026, resulting in no additional weekday closures. Losar, the Tibetan New Year, brings a holiday only in Sikkim, while Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti on February 19 leads to school closures solely in Maharashtra.

As a result, most schools, especially in Delhi and other major education hubs, will operate on a tight schedule throughout the month. The limited number of holidays means students must maintain sustained focus and discipline during one of the most crucial phases of the academic year.
