Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not wait for the evening of 26.10.2026. The deadline is 12:00 PM (noon), not midnight.
- Do not send an objection without proof. The notice asks for supporting evidence along with it.
- Send objections only to coe@hpcu.ac.in. Note the spelling: the email uses hpcu.ac.in, while the university website is cuhimachal.ac.in.
- Look at the right page. There is a separate key for each of the 21 subjects, and the Research Methodology table differs between the two groups of subjects.
- Do not assume the deadline will be extended. The notice does not say so.
