Why Two Different Scales Exist
Bangladesh's SSC and HSC public exams use a 5.00-point GPA scale, while most universities report academic performance on a 4.00-point CGPA scale modeled on the UGC-style grading system. The two scales don't map with a single formula because their letter-grade boundaries differ — a university's B+ and B- grades, for example, have no direct SSC/HSC equivalent.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between GPA and CGPA in Bangladesh?
- GPA (out of 5.00) applies to SSC, HSC, and equivalents. CGPA (out of 4.00) is the standard university scale for semester and overall academic performance.
- Is there an exact conversion formula?
- No single universal formula exists — this tool maps by nearest equivalent letter grade, the standard reference method. Always confirm with your specific university's official table for formal use.
