Quick Definition
GPA conversion translates international grades (Indian CGPA, UK percentage, German grades) into a US 4.0 GPA scale for comparison. No universal formula exists — WES, iGPA calculator, and individual university policies vary. Most Indian universities convert approximately: 9.0 CGPA = 3.7 GPA; 8.0 = 3.3; 7.5 = 3.0.
GPA Conversion — Full Explanation
Some programs use their own conversion tables. Always use the WES iGPA tool or the target university's published conversion scale. German grades invert (1.0 = best; 4.0 = passing) and confuse conversion — 1.5 German = ~3.7 US GPA.
