Eid 2026 school holiday: Check whether schools in Delhi, UP, Bihar, West Bengal, and other states will remain closed on March 20 or March 21.
As Ramadan is coming to an end, students and parents are waiting for clarity on the Eid al-Fitr 2026 school holiday. In India, Eid is expected to be celebrated on either March 20, 2026, or March 21, 2026, depending on the sighting of the moon. Because of this, there is still some confusion over when schools and colleges will remain closed.
Many schools and colleges usually remain closed on Eid al-Fitr. For 2026, several academic calendars have listed March 21, 2026, as the likely holiday. However, some schools may shift the holiday to March 20 if Eid is confirmed on that day.
As of March 21, many states appear to favor that date as the holiday, but the final decision will depend on moon sightings and local government or school announcements.
