The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) appoints 2001-batch IAS officer Mandeep K Bhandari as its new chairman. The appointment follows recent leadership and scrutiny around CBSE’s examination processes as the board prepares for its next cycle of exams.
One outlet links the timing to earlier controversy involving the CBSE’s On-Screen Marking system for Class 12 evaluation, which drew attention and questions about implementation. Another outlet focuses more on Bhandari’s background, describing him as an IAS officer with a medical background and noting that the board has seen leadership changes in the period leading up to this appointment.
Across the reports, the common thread is CBSE’s leadership transition to Bhandari, while the coverage emphasis differs: one stresses the backdrop of the On-Screen Marking scrutiny, and the other outlines biographical context and recent administrative shifts.
