I want to buy ipad 2017 model for note making but am little confused that i can work with apple pencil or not??
Please give us the exact model number of the iPad or the link to it so that we may better help you. It also depends on which Apple Pencil you are referring to, 1st or 2nd generation. This article should help you: Use Apple Pencil with your iPad or iPad Pro - Apple Support
The 2017 iPad (6th generation) does work with the Apple Pencil.
Be certain you get the original Apple Pencil, as the second generation Apple Pencil only works with the 2018 iPad Pro.
6th gen, 9.7 inch iPad is a 2018 model. Not 2017.
The 2017, 5th gen, 9.7 inch screen iPad DOES NOT work with ANY Apple Pencil.
You need to purchase a 2018, 6th gen 9.7 inch iPad and ONLY the original, 1st generation Apple Pencil works with the 2018, 6th gen 9.7 inch screen iPad.

Yes, I see you are correct.
So let me clarify, as I did misstate above:
The 2018 iPad (6th gen) uses the original Apple Pencil.
The 2017 iPad (5th gen) does not support any Apple Pencil.
Thanks.
iPad 5th generation (2017) does not support the Pencil (1st generation)
You need an iPad 6th generation (2018) and an Pencil 1st generation.
Does apple pencil work with ipad 2017?
