If I have CIE grades, how do I convert them to CGPA for applying to UK and US universities?

To convert CIE grades to a CGPA, you need to use a conversion table that translates CIE grades to a 4-point GPA scale; however, there’s no single “official” conversion, so it’s best to consult the specific universities you are applying to or use a credential evaluation service for the most accurate calculation.

If you are unsure about converting your CIE grades, consider using a credential evaluation service which can provide a detailed analysis of your academic record and translate it to the appropriate GPA scale for your chosen universities.

Key points to remember:

  • Check with individual universities:

  • Calculating CGPA:

    • For each subject, assign the corresponding GPA based on the above scale.
    • Add up the GPA points for all your subjects.
    • Divide the total GPA points by the number of subjects to get your overall CGPA.

While the above conversion is a general guideline, some universities may have their own specific conversion methods for CIE grades. Always check their websites for precise instructions.

  • Weighted GPA:

Some universities might use a weighted GPA system, giving more value to higher-level courses.

Example calculation:

  • If you received an A* in 3 subjects, a B in 2 subjects, and a C in 1 subject, your CGPA would be calculated as follows:
    • (4.0 x 3) + (3.0 x 2) + (2.0 x 1) = 18
    • 18 / 6 (total subjects) = 3.0 CGPA
