WBBSE Holiday List 2025: The West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) has released the public holiday schedule for the year 2025, along with the academic calendar for all affiliated schools. The holiday list encompasses public holidays recognized during regional festivals in West Bengal, national holidays such as Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti, and notices from the central government of India.
All schools under WBBSE and its associated regional offices will remain closed on the declared holidays. It should be noted that there will be no substitute holidays if a holiday coincides with a Sunday or if there are multiple festivals occurring on the same day. Additionally, some holiday dates may change based on lunar sightings and other factors. Updates for holiday dates will be released later as required.
