How a percentage becomes a 4.0 GPA depends on where the marks come from. A US school grade of 82% is a B− (2.7), because US classes grade on a tougher curve where 93% and above is an A.
Indian marks are graded much more strictly, so evaluators such as WES treat 60% and above (first class) as an A (4.0), 50–59% as a B (3.0) and 40–49% as a C (2.0), subject by subject. The proportional figure simply rescales % to 4 and is the lowest estimate of the three.
| Percentage | 82% |
| GPA on the US scale (US school grades) | 2.7 |
| Proportional GPA (% ÷ 25) | 3.28 |
| Indian marks, WES-style estimate | 4 |
B− = 2.7 on the US scale.
Try this example →| Percentage | 68% |
| GPA on the US scale (US school grades) | 1.3 |
| Proportional GPA (% ÷ 25) | 2.72 |
| Indian marks, WES-style estimate | 4 |
WES-style estimate 4; proportional 2.72.
Try this example →On the standard US scale 93% and above is an A (4.0), 90–92% A− (3.7), 87–89% B+ (3.3), 83–86% B (3.0) and so on down to 65–66% D (1.0).
On the US scale 75% is a C (2.0). As Indian marks, WES-style evaluation gives about 4.0, since 75% is first class with distinction. Proportionally it is 3.0.
Below 65% is an F on the US school scale, but 60% from an Indian university is first class and usually evaluated as an A (4.0) by WES. Proportionally it is 2.4.
