Your iPad will only have a hotspot if (a) you have a WiFi+Cellular model iPad (WiFi Only models have no Cellular hardware) - and (b) you have an active Cellular plan for your iPad that includes “tethering”.

If instead you are having difficulty connecting your iPad to your iPhone hotspot with your iPad3, try changing your iPhone’s hotspot setting to Maximise Compatibility:

Settings > Personal Hotspot > Maximise Compatibility - set to ON
