Indian GPA Conversion Marks are converted as follows: 1. For a grading scheme with a 40% minimum passing mark, marks are converted to letter grades using the following scale: 60 – 100% A 50 – 59% B 40 – 49% C 0 -39% F* * Note: In cases where exams which have been failed and successfully retaken, the F’s are not considered when converting the GPA. 2. Using the maximum marks possible for each exam in which a given mark was earned, a maximum mark total is calculated for A’s, B’s and C’s, and F’s. 3. The maximum mark total for each mark is multiplied by the value of the mark, with the value of A being 4.0. B 3.0, and C 2.0, giving a quality point total for each mark. 4. A grand total is calculated from the maximum marks totals and also from the quality points totals. 5. The quality points grand total is divided by the maximum marks grand total and the result is the student’s cumulative GPA. Sample GPA conversion for a student who earned the following marks: 62% 70% 86% 60% 37%
