How is GPA calculated?
Thu Jul 24, 2008 11:54 AM
Hello !

I have graduated from an Indian university. We do not have GPA gradings here. How do i get to know my GPA? My ranks in my university have been 11th, 10th and 9th in the 1st,2nd and 3rd year repectively (LLB). My university accomodates almost close to 800 students.

Please help me to calculate my GPA accordingly.

What is my GPA like?

thanks york and Pharell... But that article still does not help me in calculating my GPA. I have been 1-2 % of my University. About 600 students appeared for exams each year wherein i stood within the first 10 each year... What should my GPA look like? Please help.....

Hi,

Personally, i think US unversities do not require you to convert your GPA to US-equivalent scale. Just do a calculation based on your own university's procedures and the US universities will do the rest for you.

Without exact details about your university's grading scale and your specific grades for each and every subject you completed within your LLB, i doubt anyone is able to provide you with a detailed calculation on what your gpa looks like!


Cheers
Greg

Thank you GregoryXu,

If such calculations are not required, i would not bother too much about calculating my GPA. Thanks again

But do you also feel that publications to ones credit is required to get an admission in a good LLM course?
