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.
Verified Data Sources
- Official University Transcripts
- Ministry of Education Standards (UGC, MoE)
- WES (World Education Services) Reference Tables
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 Algorithm
Unlike generic calculators that use a simple "Multiply by 4" rule (which is often wrong), GradeAtlas uses a granular credit-weighted lookup system.
Normalization
We normalize every input grade to a standard "Grade Point" value based on the specific Country/University schema.
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.
Scale Mapping
Finally, we map the result to the destination scale (e.g., US 4.0) using non-linear equivalency tables aligned with WES standards.
