Compare academic marks across 18 grading systems, from India and Pakistan to Germany, China, Nigeria, the Philippines, Malaysia, Russia, and more.
Pick your country first: these systems are genuinely different, so the calculator does not force every mark into one CGPA formula. Results are standard or approximate reference conversions, not official equivalencies for university applications. International students should use official transcripts and the receiving university or a WES-style credential evaluation as the authority.
Valid range: 0 to 10
The 9.5 convention is not a universal official equivalency; check your university's official conversion policy.

A GPA or CGPA is a summary of a grading system, not a globally standardized percentage. For context, compare the calculation with the GPA Calculator or use the Grade Calculator for weighted course scores. Neither tool nor this page replaces an admissions office's evaluation.
Indian universities commonly report CGPA on a 10-point scale. This calculator shows the widely used CGPA × 9.5 convention for that scale, while 5-point and 4-point choices use transparent linear scaling. The 9.5 convention is not a universal official equivalency; check your university's official conversion policy.
Pakistani universities often use a 4.0 CGPA scale, although some institutions use 10 points. Select the scale printed by your university and view a linear reference conversion. This linear result is not an official HEC equivalency and individual university policies can differ.
US institutions primarily use GPA and letter grades rather than one national percentage equivalent. The 4.0-to-100 result here is a simple approximation to help with general comparisons. The United States has no single unified GPA-to-percentage standard; ask the institution receiving your application.
Canadian grading can be reported as percentages or on a 4.0 or 4.3 GPA scale depending on province and institution. Choose the scale you were given to see an approximate linear comparison. Canadian conversion policies vary significantly by province, school, and program.
UK universities generally use percentage marks and degree classifications rather than CGPA. This tool maps a mark to the familiar First, 2:1, 2:2, and Third bands. Classification boundaries and borderline rules can vary by university and degree.
Australian institutions may report percentages, grades, or a GPA out of 7. This calculator offers a straightforward linear 7-point reference for an international comparison. Australian GPA-to-percentage policies vary by institution and are not represented by one national formula.
French higher education commonly uses a note sur 20, where 10 is often the pass mark and 20 is the maximum. The percentage result and an illustrative 4.0 comparison make the scale easier to read internationally. The displayed US-style GPA is only an illustrative arithmetic comparison, not credential evaluation.
Italian universities use trentesimi (30-point marks) for individual exams and a 110-point scale for final degree marks. Select the applicable scale; 110 e lode is a special honors distinction beyond the numeric mark. Linear percentages are reference values only, and an honors mark is not a numeric percentage.
German universities commonly use an inverted 1.0–5.0 scale: 1.0 is excellent and best, 4.0 is usually sufficient/pass, and 5.0 is fail. This uses 100 − 15 × (grade − 1) as an illustrative inverted approximation only. This is not the modified Bavarian formula: that formula requires the source maximum and passing mark and is not a fixed universal percentage formula. Check the official transcript policy before applying abroad.
Chinese universities may show percentage marks directly or use a 4.0/5.0 GPA system. This 4.0 option is mainly a reference for GPA-to-percentage cases where a transcript does not already provide percentages. Chinese institutions use different GPA calculations and many transcripts already report percentages; this is not an official equivalency.
Bangladeshi universities commonly use a 4.0 CGPA, while SSC/HSC secondary education may use a separate 5.0 scale. Select the scale printed on your record; both options are transparent linear references. University and SSC/HSC conversion rules are not interchangeable and vary by board or institution; verify the official policy.
Nepali universities increasingly report GPA on a 4.0 scale, although some institutions still use direct percentage marks. This tool provides a simple 4.0 reference conversion. Nepali universities and programs can publish different conversion policies, so this result is not an official equivalency.
Sri Lankan universities commonly use a 4.0 GPA scale similar to the United States. The linear result is provided for international comparison when a percentage is requested. Institutional grading and transcript policies vary; a receiving university or official evaluator should make the final determination.
Nigerian universities commonly use a 5.0 CGPA and degree classifications. The percentage is a linear reference, while the classification bands are often more meaningful for Nigerian academic and employment contexts. Classification cutoffs and percentage equivalents can vary by Nigerian institution; use the official transcript and published regulations.
Many Philippine universities use an inverted 1.0–5.0 scale: 1.0 is the best grade and 5.0 is failing. This tool provides a simple illustrative inverted reference, not a universal percentage table. Philippine grading tables differ by school; in particular, passing boundaries and percentage equivalents must be checked with the institution.
Malaysian universities commonly use a 4.0 CGPA and degree classifications. This provides an approximate linear percentage and displays a common example of First, Second Upper, Second Lower, and Third Class bands. Malaysian classifications and conversion policies are institution-specific; the bands shown are a reference rather than a national standard.
Saudi and Gulf universities use either a 5.0 or 4.0 GPA scale depending on the institution. Select the scale on your transcript to see an approximate linear reference. Gulf grading policies vary across countries, universities, and programs; this is not an official equivalency for applications.
Russian universities traditionally use a small discrete 5-point scale: 5 is excellent, 4 good, 3 satisfactory, and 2 fail. Choose a whole grade to see a broad international percentage range and description. These are broad reference ranges, not a GPA conversion; official transcripts and receiving institutions should determine equivalency.
For the Indian 10-point scale, this tool shows the common CGPA × 9.5 convention. Indian institutions may publish a different policy, so verify the official conversion before using it for an application.
Choose the 4.0 or 10.0 scale and the tool calculates CGPA divided by that maximum times 100 as a transparent linear reference. It is not an official HEC equivalency.
This tool treats the 4.0 GPA scale as an approximate linear mapping, so 80% corresponds to about 3.2 GPA. US institutions do not share one official percentage equivalent.
Select the 4.0 or 4.3 option to see a linear approximation. Canadian institutions and provinces use different grading policies, so a receiving institution should make the final determination.
Typical bands are First Class at 70% or above, Upper Second (2:1) at 60–69%, Lower Second (2:2) at 50–59%, Third at 40–49%, and below 40% below Third or fail.
The calculator uses GPA divided by 7 times 100 as an approximate linear reference. Australian institutions may use a different GPA-to-percentage policy.
Divide the note by 20 and multiply by 100. The accompanying 4.0 value is only an illustrative arithmetic comparison and is not a credential evaluation.
Choose 110 for a final degree mark or 30 for an individual exam and divide by the selected maximum times 100. 110 e lode is a special honors distinction beyond numeric 110.
Using this illustrative inverted approximation, a German 2.0 is about 85%. This is not the modified Bavarian formula or a US GPA equivalency: that formula requires the source maximum and passing mark, and German policies vary.
For a Chinese 4.0 GPA, this tool shows GPA divided by 4 times 100 as an approximate reference. Many Chinese transcripts already list percentage marks, and institutions can calculate GPA differently.
Select the 4.0 university scale or the separately labeled 5.0 SSC/HSC scale. Each is shown with a linear reference only; board and university policies are not necessarily interchangeable.
Select Nigeria and enter the 5.0 CGPA to see a linear reference and Nigerian classification band. A US university or credential evaluator must make the official equivalency for an application.
Philippine grades are often inverted, with 1.0 best and 5.0 fail. This tool gives an illustrative inverted reference; your Philippine university's grading table is authoritative.
The calculator shows a linear reference of GPA divided by 4 times 100 and a common classification example. Malaysian universities can use different classification and conversion rules.
This tool shows GPA divided by 4 times 100 as a simple reference. Nepali institutions may still use direct percentage marking or their own equivalency policy.
For the common 4.0 scale, this calculator shows a linear reference of GPA divided by 4 times 100. Check the Sri Lankan institution's policy for an official result.
Choose whichever maximum is printed on your transcript. Saudi and Gulf institutions vary, so this tool provides a transparent approximation rather than a universal regional formula.
Russian marks are discrete: 5 is excellent at about 90–100%, 4 good at 75–89%, 3 satisfactory at 60–74%, and 2 fail below 60%. These are broad ranges, not a GPA equivalency.
Use these country-specific results to understand a grading system, not as guaranteed admissions equivalencies. Submit official transcripts and follow the receiving university's or WES-style credential evaluator's instructions.
