How Accurate is Your Conversion?

Grade conversion is part math, part art. We prioritize transparency over false promises. Here is exactly how we calculate your grades.

Source-Backed Data Sources

We avoid black-box ratios. Our grading scales are informed by:

Public university grading pages and transcript legends
Ministry of Education Standards (UGC, MoE)
Public evaluator guidance where available

The "Exact Match" Myth

No calculator can be 100% identical to a manual evaluation by an admission officer. Why?

Universities often have internal "soft" policies.
Evaluators look at course difficulty, not just grades.
Some conversions are subjective (e.g., "A-" vs "B+").

Our Conversion Method

Unlike generic calculators that use a simple "Multiply by 4" rule (which is often wrong), GradeAtlas uses a granular credit-weighted lookup system.

Step 1

Normalization

We normalize every input grade to a standard "Grade Point" value based on the specific Country/University schema.

Step 2

Weighted Average

We calculate the Weighted Mean: Sum(Points * Credits) / Sum(Credits). This ensures a 4-credit Math course counts more than a 1-credit lab.

Step 3

Scale Mapping

Finally, we map the result to the destination scale (e.g., US 4.0) using available equivalency references and clearly label it as an academic planning estimate.
