The administration of Jagannath University (JnU) has cancelled the winter vacation because of the admission tests for first-year honours and BBA programmes for the 2026-27 academic session. The cancelled vacation will be added to the holidays of the next holy month of Ramadan.
The decision was announced on Thursday in a notice signed by the university’s registrar, Professor Dr Md Sheikh Gias Uddin.
The notice said there will be no winter vacation in the current academic year as the admission tests are being held; instead, the break will be given during the holy month of Ramadan. The dates of the Ramadan holidays will be set by the committee responsible for preparing the holiday list.
The matter was first decided at the 133rd meeting of the academic council on 7 October. It was later approved at the 13th meeting of the syndicate on 15 October.
