- Credential evaluators such as WES apply their own course by course mapping, which can differ slightly.
- Always submit the original transcript alongside any converted value.

About this tool

Frequently asked questions
Will a university accept this converted GPA?
Most admission portals accept a proportional conversion for the self reported field, but the official evaluation is done by the university or an agency from your transcript.
Why does WES sometimes report a different GPA?
Credential evaluators map each course grade individually and may weight by credit hours differently, so their figure can vary by a few tenths from a proportional conversion.
Should I convert percentage or CGPA?
Convert the CGPA when your marksheet prints one. If it only prints a percentage, reverse it to a CGPA first with the percentage to CGPA converter.
Which conversion do universities prefer?
Most self reported GPA fields accept a proportional conversion, and the university then verifies against the transcript you upload.
Do I still need a credential evaluation?
If the university asks for a WES or similar report, yes. This converter gives the figure for the application form, not an official evaluation.
