Enter your course details — course name, grade, credit hours, and grading system — to calculate your WES GPA on a 4.0 scale. Add multiple courses to get a weighted cumulative GPA, just like World Education Services evaluates international transcripts for US and Canadian admissions.

WES GPA is a standardized Grade Point Average on a 4.0 scale, calculated by World Education Services (WES) when they evaluate international transcripts for Canadian and US institutions. It converts your home country grades into a format that North American universities, employers, and immigration programs recognize and trust. Without a WES evaluation, admission committees may not know how to interpret your foreign grades.
WES uses a course-by-course evaluation method. Each course grade is first converted to a US letter grade using country-specific conversion tables, then assigned a grade point value (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, etc.). The final GPA is the sum of (Grade Points × Credit Hours) divided by total Credit Hours — a weighted average. This tool replicates that formula so you can estimate your result before submitting official documents.
WES typically maps Indian percentages as follows: 70–100% → A (4.0), 60–69% → B (3.0), 50–59% → C (2.0), 40–49% → D (1.0), and below 40% → F (0.0). Some institutions and programs may use slightly different cut-offs, but these are the most commonly applied ranges in WES course-by-course evaluations for Indian credentials.
You typically need a WES GPA evaluation when applying to universities or colleges in the US or Canada that require foreign credential assessment, when applying for Express Entry or other Canadian immigration pathways, for professional licensing bodies that require a North American GPA, or for scholarship programs that mandate a standardized GPA from a recognized evaluation service.
No — this tool provides an estimate based on widely used WES conversion standards and is meant for planning purposes only. An official WES evaluation involves verification of your actual transcripts and institutional data, and is the only result accepted by universities, immigration authorities, and licensing bodies. Use this calculator to gauge where you stand before investing in an official evaluation.
Credit hours typically reflect the weekly contact time or course weight at your institution. In India and many South Asian countries, a standard semester course is often 3–4 credit hours, with lab courses sometimes carrying 1–2 additional credits. If your transcript does not list credit hours, WES assigns default values based on your country's academic system — commonly 3 credits per theory course and 1 credit per lab/practical.
Most competitive US universities expect a WES-converted GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale for graduate admissions. Top-tier programs often look for 3.5+. For Canadian universities and Express Entry immigration, a GPA of 3.0 is generally competitive, though requirements vary by program and institution. Use this calculator to see how close you are to your target.
Yes. This calculator includes a UK Honours grading option. WES typically converts UK degrees as follows: First Class Honours → A (4.0), Upper Second (2:1) → B+ (3.3), Lower Second (2:2) → B (3.0), Third Class → C (2.0), Pass → D (1.0). Select 'UK Honours' from the grading system dropdown and enter the corresponding numeric value for your classification.
