Himachal Pradesh University (HPU), Shimla has released revised examination date sheets for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes on 4 November 2026. The revision follows a postponement notification issued on 29 October 2026, affecting multiple courses across the university's academic programmes.
Overview
The Examinations Department of HPU released comprehensive revised date sheets covering various undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The postponement was necessitated to manage examination logistics and accommodate students following unforeseen circumstances, including weather-related disruptions that prevented some postgraduate students from appearing at designated examination centres. Course-wise revised schedules are now available for download on the official university website in PDF format, allowing students to plan their preparations and examination days accordingly.
This revised schedule ensures that all students, regardless of their programme stream, have adequate notice and clarity regarding their examination dates, paper sequences, and examination centre details.
