<p>Hi all,
I'm from from India, Here in India we dont have the grading system or a gpa. We just have marks out of hundred. So if i had to convert my marks into gpa whats the most approximate value you would give it. I just wanna know where i stand in that part of the world.
9th - 82% overall
10 - 87% overall
11th - 72 % overall
(physics , Chemistry, Advanced Math, English and French)</p>
<p>They don’t convert Indian percentages to GPA, they just look at it differently.</p>
<p>there are different ways to convert, but from what I use, your 82% would be a 2.7, the 87% would be a 3.2 and the 72% would be 1.7</p>
<p>^ You should be aware the Indian system’s scaling is much wider than the American system. 40% is passing, as opposed to 70, 50-60% is 2nd class, 60-80% is first class, and 80% and above is a distinction.</p>
<p>I’ve contacted several Universities, and they don’t compare your Indian percentages to American GPAs.</p>
<p>thanks all… yea i guess there’s no point comparing it…</p>
<p>I’ve heard India’s education is a lot more intense than here. You should be well off to apply to good universities.</p>
