who among the following is not appointed by the president of india

The correct answer is: Vice President of India. The Vice President is not appointed by the President of India; instead, they are elected by an electoral college consisting of members of both Houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha).

By contrast, many other high offices are appointed by the President, such as:

  • Governors of states
  • Chief Justice and judges of the Supreme Court
  • Chief Justice and judges of High Courts
  • Chief Election Commissioner

So, whenever you see the MCQ:

“Who among the following is not appointed by the President of India?”
