About this calculator
Nepali transcripts arrive in four different grading dialects, and they do not line up neatly. This tool stores the precise cut-offs each board publishes, so a 72 percent NEB score is not bluntly flattened into a rough 2.88 GPA — it correctly lands in the B+ band at 3.2.
The semester GPA formula
SGPA = Σ (Grade point × Credit hours) ÷ Σ Credit hours
Take three subjects — a 3-credit A (4.0), a 2-credit B+ (3.3) and a 3-credit B (3.0). That works out to (4.0×3 + 3.3×2 + 3.0×3) ÷ 8 = 27.6 ÷ 8, giving an SGPA of 3.45.
GPA targets Nepali students often aim for
- US undergraduate programmes: roughly a 3.0 GPA equivalent keeps most applications competitive
- UK and Australian Master's: 2.8 for a standard offer, 3.3 for the higher-ranked institutions
- Nepali MBBS and BE scholarship slots: 3.0 in PCB or PCM at Grade 12
- Canadian study permit offers: 2.4 plus a valid English-proficiency score
