CBSE — CBSE PHYSICAL EDUCATION PAPER VAGUE AND OUT OF SYLLABUS

SIR/MADAM,

THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION PAPER WAS NOT RIGGED WITH ERRORS BUT ALSO CONSISTED OF QUESTIONS THAT WERE OUT OF SYLLABUS.

SOME OF THEM ARE:-
1) WHAT ARE INTRA"N"URALS? (1 MARKS)
2) WHAT IS HYPERTROPHY OF MUSCLES? (1 MARKS)
3) WHAT IS RELATIVE STRENGTH? (5 MARKS)
4) SHELDON'S CLASSIFICATION OF PERSONALITY (5 MARKS)
5) IMPORTANCE OF SKELETAL SYSTEM (5 MARKS)

I MADE SURE TO VERIFY THAT THE ABOVE MENTION QUESTIONS WERE OUT OF SYLLABUS AND NO COURSE BOOK TALKS ABOUT THEM.

SINCE EACH MARK CONTAINS MUCH VALUE, KINDLY CONSIDER THIS ISSUE SINCE IT IS ABOUT THE LIFE OF THE STUDENTS.

I agree with him/ her as there were many out of syllabus questions. Particularly the 1:1 and 1:2 ratio question which seemed to be completely vague..

The physical Education paper was entirely out of syllabus. The problem is CBSE doesn't subscribe a book for physical education and student have to choose one of the many books in the market. And most went for Saraswati Publication's 'Health and Physical education' by Dr. V.K. Sharma, which seemed like a pretty good choice at the start of class 12th. But the paper came entirely out of syllabus. The above mentioned book has each and every topic mentioned in the CBSE syllabus but doesn't have any note on the following questions which came in the exam:

1) SUGGEST ANY TWO ISOMETRIC EXERCISES FOR SHOULDER REGION. (1 MARK)
2) WHAT IS HYPERTROPHY OF MUSCLES? (1 MARKS)
3) WHAT IS RELATIVE STRENGTH? (5 MARKS)
4) SHELDON'S CLASSIFICATION OF PERSONALITY (5 MARKS)
5) IMPORTANCE OF SKELETAL SYSTEM (5 MARKS)
7) WHAT ARE THE AIMS FOR PREPARING THE DIET FOR A SPORTSPERSON. (5 MARKS)
6) CALCULATE THE PHYSICAL FITNESS INDEX FOR A 12 YEAR OLD BOY HAVING COMPLETED HARVARD STEP TEST FOR A DURATIN OF 3 MINUTES AND A PULSE RATE OF 54 BEATS FOR 1 TO 1.5 MINUTES. (1 MARK)

The last question in particular may be flawed since for measuring physical fitness index through the Harvard Step Test one has to measure the pulse rate of the test taker in three intervals after completing the stepping on the bench, namely from 1 to 1.5 minutes, 2 to 2.5 minutes and 3 to 3.5 minutes but the question only provides the data for one interval.

The physical education paper, which was supposed to be scoring will take its toll on our percentages. This isn't a great surprise though as the other papers for Delhi this year were also very difficult, but at least they were from within the syllabus. CBSE has played an unfair game by setting questions which were out of syllabus. How are we supposed to answer questions when we haven't ever read about them?

I completely agree with this blog sir.PHYSICAL EDUCATION paper had questions out of course. Please i humbly request you to look into this matter and do justice to all the students appearing for the prestigious cbse 2015 physical education paper .
