Grading Practice in India
Most Indian colleges use a 10-point scale known as the CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) or percentages. The 10-point scale can be:
Relative: Used by elite colleges like IITs, NITs, and BITS Pilani.
Absolute: Percentage divided by 10.

Convert Only If Asked: Only convert your grades to the German system if specifically requested by the university.
Apply with Your University’s Grading Scale: Use the grading scale provided by your bachelor’s university when applying.
Stringent Grading Systems: If your college grades strictly, mention the top grade obtained and your grade relative to the top student in your SOP. You can also request a ranking certificate from your university.
Uni-Assist Portal: When uploading documents to the Uni-Assist Portal, ensure you include the grade conversion section from your degree certificate. Missing this can result in a faulty application.
