Different from iPhone, calculator isn’t available on iPad in the control center so that I cannot have a quick access to calculator on my iPad, any one knows the reason why and is there a remedy?
iPad Pro, iOS 12
There has never been any native calculator or weather app for iPads, ever!
There is NO fix or remedy.
Lots of great third party calculator and weather apps for many years for iPads.
Do a search in the iOS App Store and pick one and install it.
Here is a link to why an iOS calculator app never shipped or became available from Apple for iPad.
It is, probably, the same reason for no native iPad/iOS weather app.

Best of Luck to You!
I am not running iOS 11 or 12, but I am pretty sure that no calculator app for iPad means no calculator widget, either.
I am running iOS 10.3.3 on my older iPad Pro and there is no calculator widget, either.
MichelPM,
I don’t know what you saw in my screenshot that would have you think I’m using iPadOS beta. I’d never even heard of that, except to read on this forum that it’s not discussed here.
Besides providing a screenshot of my open Widgets, I provided two Apple Support instructions on using them. Do you view them? Do you think I’d offer information to share to questioners with which I’ve had no personal experience?
I’ve always had the Calculator available on all of my iPads. While it’s new to me to use Widgets, that fact is nothing new, as I didn’t known how to use the Control Center, either, ‘till a recent class. But the calculator has always been available...
I’m using the ‘18 iPadPro, iOS 12.3.1, and that same calculator has always been available on my previous iPads, also.
You hit the nail right on the head! I want to have a quick access to calculator like what I can do by swiping down from the top of my iPhone at anytime! And I have just upgraded my iPad Pro to iOS13, apart from having widget setup, I can also just add the calculator into the task bar at the bottom! Thank you!

It is NOT available in iOS 10. I have no calculator widgets at all.
It sounds like there is some perhaps some confusion. Widgets are not the icons in the Control Center. Third party apps have had the ability to add widgets since there have been widgets. Some do, some don't. Third party apps, of course, can't add icons to the Control Center.
If you don't have a Calculator widget, it's because either the calculator app you're using doesn't include one or you have added it.
Yes,
I know what widgets are.
I have a good deal of these laid out in my notifications panel.
I have no widgets for any of the calculator apps I use.
And there is no native iOS calculator app OR native widget for iPads, currently.
As I have tried to keep pointing out.
But I am done with all of this.
The OP got we they were looking for.
My old favorite is still available. Give this one a try.
