Covert % to GPA

by gmat.nand » Thu Jul 26, 2012 11:32 am
I have done my graduation from India. My University does not give GPA rating but has Percentage system. Simple Average of 8 semester = 78 %. Can anyone please help map it to equivalent GPA?

Hey gmat.nand - this is a common question that we hear from Indian candidates, and we put together a post on the EssaySnark blahg that should help you figure out how to tackle this: https://www.essaysnark.com/2011/09/gpa-c ... on-stress/

Most schools don't actually require that you convert your GPA to the 4.0 scale (some do). If you want an official conversion you can go with a service like WES.

Hope this helps!
