Alerts and Updates for BPSC TRE Secondary Physical Education

Physical Education is examined entirely on paper. The reported TRE 4.0 selection process is a written objective examination followed by document verification, with no interview; no physical efficiency test, ground trial or medical standard is described anywhere in the summaries of Advertisement 14/2026. Any physical standard would have to come from the subject annexure itself, which is the document to check. Read the structure below as the pattern for the written examination, not as a settled number of stages. BPSC's calendar of 14 August 2026 places TRE 4.0 under two-phase PT plus Mains exams; the Chief Minister announced a single-phase exam on 27 August 2026; and BPSC has published no corrigendum resolving the two as of 22 September 2026. The question paper described here is the one candidates must prepare for either way, because a single-phase exam would use it and a two-phase exam would use it as the main paper.

This calendar is common to every subject and every level of TRE 4.0, from class 1-5 to class 11-12; there is no separate Physical Education schedule. Only the advertisement date is confirmed, and two reported application start dates have already lapsed without the portal opening.

Physical Education candidates most often go wrong on the qualification clause rather than the paper. Forty-seven posts is a narrow opening, and the generic graduation plus B.Ed formulation that portals quote for secondary posts does not settle whether a B.P.Ed, a D.P.Ed, a BA with Physical Education or a sports-participation route satisfies it. PW states explicitly that the notification carries detailed subject-wise provisions for specialised subjects and that the general statement should not be relied on.

The reported secondary table lists nine subjects adding to exactly 3,877: Social Science 756, English 696, Urdu 660, Mathematics 570, Science 463, Hindi 361, Sanskrit 322, Physical Education 47 and Music 2. Physical Education is therefore roughly one per cent of the secondary block, distributed across all districts and all reservation categories. A roster spread of 47 posts leaves single-figure openings in most categories, which is the number that matters to an individual applicant rather than the headline. Check the district and category annexure rather than the subject total, because a candidate in a category with two or three posts is in a different contest from one facing fifteen.

The general class 9-10 requirement reported across summaries is graduation or post-graduation in the concerned subject with at least 50 per cent marks, plus B.Ed from an NCTE-recognised institution and a pass in STET Paper-I. Notifyhere renders the Physical Education clause as a bachelor's degree with 45 to 50 per cent in the subject and adds that candidates can also qualify through sports credentials such as an NCC C certificate. That sporting route is reported by one coaching portal only and has not been confirmed by BPSC; treating it as settled is the single most expensive assumption available here. Note also the structural oddity of this post: for most subjects B.Ed is the teaching qualification on top of a subject degree, whereas B.P.Ed is itself a professional teaching degree in the subject, and how the notification treats that overlap is the clause to read word for word.

Nothing in the reported TRE 4.0 selection process provides for a physical efficiency test, a ground trial, height or chest standards, or a medical examination. Selection is described as the written objective examination followed by document verification, with no interview, for every subject including this one. That is the position as summarised by portals reproducing the notification rather than a BPSC statement that no such standard applies, so a candidate whose plan depends on it should read the subject annexure of Advertisement 14/2026 directly. In practice it means preparation time goes to written theory and not to ground work, which surprises candidates who have come through state sports quotas.

Part III is 80 objective questions on Physical Education at graduation level, with five options and one-third negative marking. The content that a degree-level paper in this subject draws on is anatomy and physiology, exercise physiology, sports training principles, kinesiology and biomechanics, health and nutrition, sports psychology, test and measurement, the history and organisation of sport including Olympic and Asian Games history, yoga, first aid, and the rules and dimensions of the games in the school curriculum. The rules and measurements portion is the highest-yield block because it is finite and precisely answerable in a five-option format, and it is where candidates who rely on playing experience rather than textbook revision lose marks.

Only 80 of the 150 marks are the subject. Part II is 40 questions of general studies, covering elementary mathematics, reasoning, general awareness, general science, social studies, geography, environmental studies and the Indian national movement, and it is scored identically for a Physical Education candidate and a Mathematics candidate. Part I is 30 language marks that qualify only, at a reported 30 per cent minimum, so failing it wastes the rest of the paper. With no published Physical Education cut-off to aim at, the documented floor is the reported category minimum for TRE 4.0: 40 per cent general, 36.5 per cent BC, 34 per cent EBC and 32 per cent for SC, ST, women and persons with disabilities.
