CBSE Class 12 Physical Education Sample Papers 2026-27

Prepare for your Class 12 CBSE Physical Education (Code 048) board exam with 10 full-length sample papers, each modelled on the current sample question paper pattern: 37 questions, 70 marks, 3-hour format. 77 pages, with a complete answer key and marking scheme after every paper.

What's Inside

Each paper follows the five-section structure: Section A (Q1–Q18, multiple-choice including assertion-reason and match-the-following, 1 mark each, all compulsory), Section B (Q19–Q24, Very Short Answer, 2 marks each, attempt any 5 of 6, 60–90 words), Section C (Q25–Q30, Short Answer, 3 marks each, attempt any 5 of 6, 100–150 words), Section D (Q31–Q33, Case-Based with sub-parts, 4 marks each, all compulsory) and Section E (Q34–Q37, Long Answer, 5 marks each, attempt any 3 of 4, 200–300 words). The word ranges are printed on every paper so you can practise answer length as well as content.

Every answer key gives the reasoning behind each MCQ, not just the letter, plus step-wise model answers and mark allocation for the written sections. Fifty "Common mistake" notes are placed through the keys, flagging the specific errors that cost marks on each question type.

A topic and difficulty coverage table at the front lists the key topics in all ten papers, so you can pick the paper that matches what you have just revised.

The Difficult papers include labelled diagram questions: the foot/ankle lever at long jump take-off, the sprint start, and a gymnast landing. Each figure carries a written description alongside it, so the question still works if you are reading on a small screen.

Topics Covered

Questions span the full Class 12 Physical Education syllabus: tournaments and sports management (knockout fixtures, byes and seeding, league methods, combination tournaments, committee roles), children and women in sport (postural deformities, menarche, the female athlete triad, growth stages), yoga (asanas for obesity, diabetes, asthma and hypertension, plus contraindications), Physical Education for CWSN (Paralympics, Deaflympics, Special Olympics, classification, inclusion and adaptive PE), physical activity guidelines and nutrition (WHO recommendations, macronutrients and micronutrients, food myths, hydration), test and measurement (Harvard Step Test, Rikli and Jones battery, Khelo India batteries, Johnson-Metheny, Sit and Reach), physiology and sports injuries (adaptation to training, ageing, sprain and strain, fractures, PRICE), biomechanics (levers, Newton's Laws, friction, projectile motion, equilibrium, planes and axes), sports psychology (personality, motivation, aggression, self-talk and imagery) and training methods (continuous, interval, Fartlek, circuit, periodisation).

Difficulty Levels

Papers are graded across three levels: Easy (Papers 1–3), Moderate (Papers 4–7) and Difficult (Papers 8–10). The Easy set covers direct recall and single-concept questions. The Difficult set asks you to combine ideas, for example treating a long jump as a projectile, lever and equilibrium problem at once, or explaining why an asana is beneficial for one condition and contraindicated for another.
