September 7, 2015, 9:05 am


The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has rejected the panel of names proposed by the Smriti Irani-led Human Resource Development Ministry for the post of CBSE chairman.

This comes after the Cabinet Secretary raised objections to the names, mainly over the �experience criteria� adopted for selecting them.

The ACC decided to �scrap the panel recommended by the search-cum-selection committee in its meeting held on April 13�. It directed the ministry to complete the selection process within two months and submit its proposal to the ACC for consideration before October 31. A letter by the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) in this regard was issued on August 31.
