Anil K. Mandal was born in a village named Ghanashyambati, South 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal to Jayalaxmi and Manik Chandra Mandal.He did his primary education in Parvati FP School under guidance of his father who was Headmaster of the same school. His secondary education was in Bawali Higher Seconadry School.[2] He graduated in medicine in 1981 from Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital of the University of Calcutta and moved to Dr R.P. Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi from where he secured an MD in 1986.[3] Subsequently, he did his senior residency at Dr. R. P.

His studies have been documented by way of over 75 articles[9][note 2] and he also serves as a reviewer for the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology.[3]
