Himachal Pradesh University (HPU) has announced the cancellation of the entrance test for admission to the Five-Year Integrated Course in Tourism and Travel Management for the 2025-26 academic session.

The test, earlier scheduled for May 24, will no longer be conducted. An official notification issued by the Dean of Studies on Monday confirmed the decision.

According to the notification, admissions will now be based on academic merit in Class X and Class XII examinations. The detailed schedule for admission counselling will be released separately. The university has advised students to regularly visit the official HPU website for updates. The programme offers 35 seats.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
