you should ask yourself that Why not.
I'm sure you are not spending 24 hrs of a day on studying course books, if not then whatever extra you do , wherever you are devoting your time to, be it sports, books, movies, music, anything that adds quality to your life is something that you can add in your extra- curricular activities.
I'm not replying to rohan but to everyone who encounters this kind of question. Questions about what are extra-curricular activities, which ones to mention and which ones not to.
Do you think your ex-crr activity will only be defined when you'll get a award for that, or even a certificate. Yes you stand ahead with all those awards and certificates but even if you dont have those do not leave those columns blank.
Even a small kid while playing adds value to his life, he learns leadership, team playing, human relations and all those basic principles that are involved in Management. Only thing you need is good amount of confidence so that you can explain in front of interviewer that though i dint got certificate but i have learnt a lot from so & so activity.
It just your confidence level friends, i'm sure you all will make it through
Sorry rohan i got lost with my flow, i may not have answered you completely but do post back if in case you are not satisfied.
You have nice set of extra curricular activities just keep up the good work

, and yeah mention as much as you can.
Cheers,
