The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) issued a revised order on 2 July 2026 appointing senior IAS officer Prashant Sitaram Lokhande as the Chairperson of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on an additional charge basis. Lokhande, a 2001-batch AGMUT cadre officer currently serving as Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Home Affairs, will lead CBSE until a permanent Chairperson is appointed while continuing his MHA duties. This reshuffle occurred amid allegations of irregularities in the Class 12 On-Screen Marking (OSM) digital evaluation system, resulting in the transfer of previous CBSE Chairman Rahul Singh and Secretary Himanshu Gupta.
