Question: What is the scope for Sports and Physical Education in India?
Answer: With the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, for the first time the mention of sport became
pervasive and intentional, where it was seen as being integral to experiential learning to develop skills like
“collaboration, self-initiative, self-direction, self-discipline, teamwork, responsibility, citizenship, etc.”. The
NEP 2020 further states that sports-integrated learning would “help students adopt fitness, develop life
skills, promote physical and psychological well-being while also enhancing cognitive abilities”.
This inclusion of sport as an integral aspect of school curriculum is an important signal to educators around
the role sport can play in the lives of young people, especially those coming from adversity.
Question: What is the fees for a degree in Sports and Physical Education in India?
Answer: The average tuition fee charged by colleges or universities for this course in India lies anywhere
between INR 20,000 and 5,00,000 per annum. The fee varies as per the type of the institution.
Question: Do I need to play a sport to be eligible for a degree in Sports and Physical Education?
Answer: While it is not necessary to play a sport, it is recommended to have interest in some sports or
physical activity. Check the eligibility requirement of the institute where you plan to apply.
Question: I play sports and have done so at a district / state / national / international level. Will it help
me in my education?
Answer: Awards won in sports at any level could be an added advantage when it comes to gaining

Question: If I won any medal in any sports does it will help me in taking admission in college or any
school in India
In India, winning a medal in sports can certainly help you in the college or school admission process,
though the extent of its impact varies depending on the institution and the specific circumstances. Here
are some key ways a sports medal can be beneficial in India:
Many colleges in India offer sports quotas for admission. This allows students who have excelled in sports
to gain a place in the college through a special category, sometimes with relaxed admission criteria. These
quotas are especially common in government and some private colleges.
• Relaxed Marks Requirement: If you have a medal or significant achievement in sports, it might
allow you to get admission with slightly lower marks than the cut-off for regular applicants.
• Government and University Colleges: Several universities, like Delhi University (DU), Banaras Hindu
University (BHU), and other state universities, have a certain percentage of seats reserved for
students who are outstanding athletes.
Example: In universities like Delhi University, athletes can apply under the sports quota and may get
preference in admission to various undergraduate programs based on their achievements in sports.
In India, there are also schools that focus specifically on sports. Winning a medal or being recognized for
your athletic achievements could improve your chances of admission to such institutions, where they offer
both academic education and professional sports training.
Some Indian universities and private institutions offer sports scholarships to encourage young talent in
various sports. These scholarships can cover tuition fees, living expenses, or other educational costs.
Winning a medal can make you eligible for such scholarships.
• Private Universities: Many private universities in India (like Ashoka University, Shiv Nadar
University, etc.) offer sports scholarships. These are often based on achievements at the national or
international level.
• State and National Level Recognition: Medals won at state, national, or international levels are
more likely to be recognized, giving you an edge in getting a scholarship.
For general college admissions, a medal in sports can enhance your extra-curricular profile, which is
important for many institutions. Even though sports may not directly influence the academic cut-off, it may
add value to your application, especially for institutions that give weight to overall well-rounded students.
Some institutions in India also offer programs or specializations in sports management, coaching, or sports-
related fields. If you excel in sports, you may be able to apply to these specialized courses, which could be
beneficial for pursuing a career in sports.
• National Sports Day & State Awards: Some sports events and medals, especially at the state or
national level, can get you recognition from the government or sports organizations, which may
further enhance your chances of admission or scholarships.
• Sports Tournaments: Participation in well-known tournaments (e.g., Khelo India, National School
Games, etc.) can increase your visibility and strengthen your application to institutions that have a
sports-oriented admission process.
Question: What are the eligibility criteria to pursue a Sports and Physical Education degree?
Answer: Generally, students must have completed their 12th grade (higher secondary school) with a
minimum percentage (usually 50-60%) from a recognized board. For some courses, physical fitness tests or
an entrance exam may also be required.
Question: What is the difference between a BPEd and a B.Sc. in Physical Education?
• Answer: Both are undergraduate courses in physical education, but the focus differs:
o BPEd (Bachelor of Physical Education) focuses on preparing students to become physical
education teachers or trainers. It includes a practical emphasis on physical activities and
training methods.
o B.Sc. in Physical Education has a more scientific approach, emphasizing physical education
theory, sports science, anatomy, and physiology.
Question: Can I specialize in a particular sport or field in Sports and Physical Education?
Answer: Yes, many programs offer specialization options in areas such as:
• Answer: Sports management has a growing scope in India due to the increasing popularity of
sports, the emergence of sports leagues like IPL and ISL, and a rising interest in fitness and wellness.
Careers in sports marketing, event management, sponsorship, and sports media are in demand.
Refers to the study of human movement, focusing on the biological, mechanical, and physiological
aspects of physical activity. It combines knowledge from various fields like anatomy, physiology,
biomechanics, psychology, and motor learning to understand how the body moves and functions.
Question: What subjects should I select in Class 12 to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Sports and Physical
Education? Is it necessary to choose a BSc for this field?
To pursue a Bachelor's program in Sports and Physical Education, you do not necessarily need to take
BSc (Bachelor of Science). The choice of degree can vary depending on the university or program (such
as B.PEd, B.Sc in Physical Education, B.A., B.Com.), and there are multiple paths available.
