Cluster University Jammu 1st Semester History & Tourism -1 Previous Year Question Paper
The Previous Year Question Paper of “History & Tourism – I” in 1st semester BA History/Tourism (SEC/MDC/Skill Course) at Cluster University Jammu is the most practical, job-oriented and 100% scoring paper that every tourism aspirant solves 20–30 times. This 3-hour, 70-mark paper (plus 30 marks project/internal) is 60% theory + 40% J&K-specific tourism. Section A has 10 compulsory short questions on definition & types of tourism (cultural, heritage, adventure, eco, religious), components of tourism (5A’s), tourism in ancient/medieval India, role of history in tourism, UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India, and J&K famous destinations (Vaishno Devi, Amarnath, Pahalgam, Gulmarg, Dal Lake). Section B tests short notes on heritage walks, tourist circuits, impacts of tourism (economic, social, environmental), and famous historical monuments of J&K (Mubarak Mandi, Bahu Fort, Martand Sun Temple, Avantipura). Section C carries three long questions — one compulsory 20-mark on “Role of Mughal Gardens (Nishat, Shalimar, Chashme Shahi) & Dogra heritage in promoting J&K tourism”, one 15-mark on “Religious tourism in J&K – Vaishno Devi, Amarnath Yatra & Sufi shrines (Charar-e-Sharief, Hazratbal)”, and one 15-mark project-based “Prepare a 3-day heritage tour itinerary of Jammu city with map”. Every year at least one question is directly linked to latest J&K Tourism Policy, G20 tourism events or new circuits. Students who solve the last 10 years’ papers and prepare one full dummy tour package score 96–100 easily. Toppers maintain a personal “J&K 100 Heritage Sites + 50 Tour Itineraries + Daily Tourism News Diary”. This question paper is therefore not just an exam — it is the direct ticket to JKSSB Tourism Assistant, JKTDC Guide, IRCTC, MakeMyTrip, Thomas Cook, Hotel Management and every tourism & hospitality job in J&K.
