Converting your Percentages to GPA

Submitted by nut on Thu, 2008-09-18 05:05

I have suggested several times that you should not convert your grades. Submit them with your application as provided by your Institute or College. This information is given here to help you in the selection of your universities for Applying.I found this information on a different website, but I highly recommend that you do not use it.

Converting percentage marks in certain systems to grade point average in the American system is somewhat complicated. In order to convert percentages to gpa, the evaluator must know the grading scale of a particular school. For instance, if the lowest passing grade is 35%, grades above 70% would be rare.

Percentage 	US Grade 	Equivalent GPA (approximate)
60-100 	         A         	4.00
55-59 	          B+ 	        3.33
50-54 	          B 	        3.00
43-49 	          C+ 	        2.33
35-42 	          C 	        2.00
0-34 	          F 	        0.00

Grades which fall at the high or low end of a bracket can be converted to GPA. For instance, a 62% can be viewed as an A- or 3.67; or a 48 or 48% might be viewed as a B- or 2.67 GPA. Since there are different scales of markings available in India , it is up to the evaluator to make the most accurate conversion of percentage to GPA
