If you have a percentage scoring system for university exams, the ideal method is to take the top 4 students of every year in your class and average their marks. The average A we will assign the value of 4.00.
Then compare your marks(Y) to the average A like so:
Your GPA = Y/A x 4.0
If you don't know the marks for the top 4 students, simply take the score of the person with the highest marks for the year in the university and use that in the place of A in the formula above.
- If there is space to mention the formula you used to calculate your GPA, please explicitly mention this calculation.
- If possible simply enter the absolute percentage, for instance 68/100, and write a note that the University of X doesn't follow a GPA system. If you are one of the top few students and your GPA out of 4.0 looks impressive, it might make more sense to quote the GPA calculated with the formula above.
- Note that some of the top 4 students will end up with a GPA greater than 4.0. That is fine too. Don't worry about it.
- At some universities the scores are provided in CGPA style out of 10.0. In that case you can mention the CGPA out of 10.0, or divide by 2.5 in case you are forced to enter the GPA out of 4.0.
