Applications are now open for the Himachal Pradesh Common Entrance Test (HPCET) 2026, which is the gateway to undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at government and private colleges across Himachal Pradesh. Candidates can access the official Information Bulletin for details on eligibility criteria, available courses, intake numbers, and fee structures. The entire admission process—including application submission, choice filling, seat allotment, and document verification—is managed online through the university's admissions portal. Reservation quotas for SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD, and other special categories are in place as per state policy, with both home-state and out-of-state candidates eligible to apply. Helpline numbers and assistance counters are available for support. After the entrance exam results are announced, counselling rounds will follow to finalize seat allocations.
