Comité des examens

Le Comités des examens, BOEX, a été créé en 1990 sous le mandat du GBC suivant.

Qu'un comité permanent, appelé Comité des examens de l'ISKCON, soit formé. Ce comité aura le pouvoir d'examiner et d'approuver les examens proposés pour l'attribution des diplômes Bhakti-Sastri, Bhakti-Vaibhava, Bhakti-Vedanta et Bhakti-Sarvabhauma. L'examen et l'approbation se baseront sur les directives données par Srila Prabhupada pour l'attribution de ces diplômes. Aucun centre ISKCON ne peut décerner ces diplômes sans l'approbation du Comité des examens de l'ISKCON.

Ainsi, le GBC a habilité le Comité des examens (BOEX) à mettre en place un système d'agrément des centres ISKCON habilités à délivrer les diplômes shastriques de l'ISKCON. Ce Conseil des examens (BOEX) fonctionne désormais sous la supervision du ministère de l'Éducation de l'ISKCON.
