Why Percentage to GPA Conversion Is Not Simple
A common mistake is dividing your percentage by 25 to get a GPA. This gives incorrect results because grading standards differ between countries. In India and the UK, 70% is typically a First Class distinction, while in the United States, 70% is a 'C'. The thresholds and letter grade boundaries are different everywhere.
Our calculator uses source-backed national grading tables for each country, so your conversion gives a planning estimate you can compare with admissions, evaluator, or immigration requirements.
| Percentage | India / UK Class | US Equivalent | Letter Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80-100% | First Class with Distinction (1st) | 4.0 | A |
| 70-79% | First Class (1st) | 3.7 | A- |
| 60-69% | First Division / Upper Second (2:1) | 3.0 - 3.3 | B / B+ |
| 50-59% | Second Division / Lower Second (2:2) | 2.5 - 2.8 | B- / C+ |
| 40-49% | Third Division / Pass (3rd) | 2.0 | C |
