    • Grading system in Germany

    The German grading system generally uses a scale ranging from 1.0 to 6.0, with 1.0 being the highest grade and 4.0 denoting the minimum passing level.

    1.0 - 1.5 - Very Good (sehr gut)
    1.6 - 2.5 - Good (gut)
    2.6 - 3.5 - Satisfactory (befriedigend)
    3.6 - 4.0 - Sufficient (ausreichend)
    4.1 - 6.0 - Fail (nicht ausreichend)

    A grade of 5.0 or 6.0 indicates a failing performance.

    Grading system in India

  • The Indian marking or grading system mainly uses a percentage scale, with students graded depending on their performance in examinations.
  • For example, a score of 90% or higher is commonly associated with a "A" grade, indicating exceptional performance, whereas a score of 40-50% may be regarded a passing grade, typically a "C" or "D."
  • In contrast, the German grading system uses a numerical scale from 1 to 6, with 1 being the highest grade (excellent) and 4 being the lowest passing grade.
  • A score of 1.0 to 1.5 is deemed "very good," while 4.0 indicates passing. Scores below 4 are considered failing, with 6 being the lowest.
  • Some Indian colleges grade/score very stringently because the minimum percentage required to graduate is 50%. So, if you were an average student at this college, your CGPA/Percentage would be 7.0, or 70%.
  • Using the following conversion table, your GPA on the German scale would be 2.80. Most prominent German colleges, however, may reject your application outright if your GPA is higher than 2.50 on the German scale.
