CBSE Class 12 Physical Education 2020 — Previous-Year Question Paper

About the 2020 exam: CBSE never released the 2020 Physical Education question paper — only the marking scheme, and that year it published TWO genuinely different papers: Series HMJ/4 and Series HMJ (whose masthead prints no set number, so none is invented here). Their questions do not overlap. The scheme prints every subjective question in full, so for each set Section B (10 × 3 marks) and Section C (4 × 5 marks) — 14 questions worth 50 of the paper’s 70 marks — are reproduced verbatim from the official document, internal-choice alternatives included. Section A’s 20 one-mark MCQs cannot be shown: the marking scheme prints only the correct option, never the four choices. A few topics examined then were removed in the 2023-24 rationalisation, so those questions are badged “Not in syllabus” and filterable above.

This paper has 1 question on a topic removed in CBSE’s 2023-24 syllabus update (each marked Not in syllabus). It’s kept for historical accuracy — the exam really asked it that year — but isn’t in the current syllabus and doesn’t count toward a concept’s importance. Switch to to focus on what’s still examinable.
