ExploreAbout this exam
The Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) is the state school examination board for Punjab, India, headquartered at Vidya Bhawan, Phase-8, SAS Nagar (Mohali). The Board came into existence through a legislative enactment in November 1969 for the development and promotion of school education in the state of Punjab, and in 1987 the Vidhan Sabha amended the Board's Act to grant it autonomy. Matriculation (Class 10) is the board's first major public certification milestone, and Health & Physical Education is one of the subjects assessed within that Matriculation programme. This page is an independent study resource for candidates preparing for the PSEB Matriculation Health & Physical Education paper; it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Board. Preparation should follow the Board's own published subject syllabus and the question-paper structure documents the Board hosts, then be reinforced with the model test papers and sample question papers it releases. Because Health & Physical Education spans four distinct areas - health education; physical education and fitness; first aid, safety and hygiene; and sports, games and yoga - a balanced study plan that rotates across all four is more effective than deep study of one. Candidates should also track the Board's examination notice board, date sheet and fee schedule pages for session-specific deadlines, since form schedules and instructions are published separately for each examination session.
What you'll study
About Punjab PSEB Matric Health & Physical Education preparation
Is this page run by the Punjab School Education Board?
No. This is an independent study resource and has no official affiliation with, endorsement from, or connection to the Punjab School Education Board. For authoritative information, use the Board's own website (pseb.ac.in), where the Board publishes its syllabus, question bank, model test papers and examination notices.
Where do I find the official syllabus and question-paper structure for this subject?
The Board's website carries a Syllabus section and a Structure of Question Paper section, both reachable from its Academics Wing menu. Download the current-session syllabus for Health & Physical Education and the structure document for Class 10 before you plan study, because the paper's section-wise mark distribution comes from those documents, not from coaching material.
How do I find out the exam date and last date for the examination form?
The Board publishes examination form schedules, fee instructions and date sheets as separate notices. Check the Date Sheet, Examination Notice Board and Press Notes/Circulars links on pseb.ac.in. Schedules are issued per session and are sometimes extended, so re-check the notice itself rather than relying on a date quoted elsewhere.
What if I fail or want to improve my marks in one subject?
The Board publishes a specific schedule for 10th and 12th Class examinations covering Re-appear/Compartment, Additional Subject and Division Improvement cases. That schedule sets out the rules and the form process for each category. Read the notice for your session and confirm your eligibility category with your school before applying.
How many questions are on the paper and how long is it?
Those details are set by the Board in its Structure of Question Paper document and can change between sessions. They are not stated on this page. Get the current structure document from the Board's Academics Wing and treat it as the single authority on paper pattern, section marks and duration.
Which area should I study first?
Start with the area you are weakest in, then rotate. The subject splits into Health Education; Physical Education and Fitness; First Aid, Safety and Hygiene; and Sports, Games and Yoga. First Aid and Hygiene questions tend to be concrete and quickly revised, so they are a good early win; yoga and sports terminology need repeated short recall sessions rather than one long block.
How should I use the Board's model test papers?
Use them late in preparation, under timed conditions, after you have covered the syllabus once. The Board hosts Model Test Paper/Sample Question Papers and a Question Bank separately. Attempt a paper without notes, mark yourself strictly, then list every topic you lost marks on and revise only those before the next attempt.
What is the most common way candidates lose marks here?
Uneven coverage. Candidates often revise health education and first aid thoroughly and skip sports terminology, yoga poses and fitness components, then meet compulsory questions from those areas. A second common loss is ignoring the official structure document, so answers are written in the wrong format or length for the marks allotted.
Where can I get help if I have an administrative problem?
The Board lists a helpline on its homepage: 0172-5227-423, 424, 425. For subject-change, registration or certificate issues, the Board also lists dedicated branches and sections on its site. Your school's examination coordinator is usually the fastest route for form and registration problems.
Are my certificates available digitally?
The Board has published a notice stating that PSEB certificates for Classes 8th, 10th and 12th (Session 2026) are available on DigiLocker, and it links a guide on downloading them. Use the official DigiLocker portal and the Board's own instructions rather than third-party download services.
