GradeAtlas Updates - Latest Features & Data Improvements

January 2026
Major Engine Overhaul

We've rolled out a major engine overhaul for the 2026 academic year: clearer estimates, better global alignment, and more transparent source context.

Here's what's fresh:

Public University Data

Cross-referenced institutional lists with UNESCO's World Higher Education Database (WHED) to improve accreditation and status context.

UNESCO Level Mapping

All degrees and study levels now mapped to ISCED 2011 standards for cleaner international comparability.

Expanded Country Profiles

Refreshed country-specific grading scales with the latest public updates from national ministries, government portals, and equivalency frameworks (200+ regions covered).

Public Equivalency Updates

Integrated recent GOV.UK Overseas Degree Equivalency tables (public data) for UK-bound students.

European Standard (ECTS)

Credit logic for European universities now references the latest ECTS Users' Guide public guidelines.

South Asia Logic

Pakistan grading updated with public HEC standardized credit-system references.

Technical Glossary Update

Report terminology now references TAICEP standardized definitions for clearer regional context.

About These Updates

These updates come from public sources, user submissions with official links, and international frameworks.

Our confidence indicators now reflect source proximity to ministries, government portals, and institutional references.

Reminder

This is still a planning estimate. Always double-check with your registrar, receiving institution, or evaluator for official needs.
