The CBSE Physical Education syllabus, unit by unit

CBSE Physical Education is assessed as 70 marks of theory plus 30 marks of practical work in both Class 11 and Class 12. The theory syllabus is divided into ten units in each class, and the practical component covers a physical fitness test, a proficiency in games and sports, a yoga demonstration, and a practical record file with a viva voce. Knowing the split matters: many students who revise theory thoroughly still lose marks because the practical file was left to the last week.
