BPES, also written BPEd, is a degree in physical education and sports science. You study how the body works in sport, training methods, coaching and sports management. It leads to work as a physical education teacher, coach or fitness professional.
According to the CUET UG 2026 data, 2 central universities list a BPES course: IGNTU and Manipur University. The papers asked are Physical Education and the General Aptitude Test.
The rules differ. IGNTU accepts either the General Aptitude Test or Physical Education (code 321). Manipur University asks for the Physical Education paper (Yoga, Sports), also code 321.
Both universities ask for 10+2 in any discipline with at least 45% aggregate, or 40% for SC/ST candidates. Manipur University also lists an age limit, so read the official notice for the exact date and relaxations.
Tip: the Physical Education paper works for both universities. Take the General Aptitude Test as well if you want IGNTU as a second option.
