Abstract: Abstract The impact of information and communication technology (ICT) has brought in many changes in current teaching and learning in tourism. Educational institutions prefer to move from pen and paper approach to other viable options to conduct the examinations with enhanced efficiency and security. Digital exam pad (e-Pad) is an innovative device that allows the students to have identical experience and convenience which a pen and paper examination provides. The study has conducted to identify the antecedents that influence tourism students’ adoption and behavioral intention to use e-Pad through the technology acceptance model. Data was collected from the students’ tourism in a private university in India. The data for the research is collected through a structured questionnaire. The result of the structural equation model reveals that perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use of e-Pad have a positive impact on students’ attitude toward the use of e-Pad for their examination. Students’ attitude toward the e-Pad has a positive effect on the tourism students’ intention to use the e-Pad for their examination in the future. The finding of the study will help educational institutions to adopt e-Pad for examination.
