1. What is the Pakistan Government GPA Scale?

The Pakistan government GPA scale is a standardized method for converting percentage scores to Grade Point Average (GPA). It provides a uniform way to compare academic performance across different educational institutions in Pakistan.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the official Pakistan government formula:

Where:

• \( Percentage \) — The student's score as a percentage (0-100)
• \( GPA \) — Resulting Grade Point Average (minimum 0)

Explanation: This linear formula converts percentage scores to a 4.0 scale where 50% = 1.0 GPA and 100% = 4.0 GPA.

3. Importance of GPA Calculation

Details: GPA is crucial for academic evaluations, university admissions, scholarships, and job applications in Pakistan. The standardized calculation ensures fairness in comparing students from different institutions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your percentage score (0-100). The calculator will automatically compute your GPA according to the Pakistan government standard formula.

Q4: Is this formula used for all educational levels?
A: This is the standard formula for higher education in Pakistan. Some schools may use slight variations for primary/secondary education.

Q5: How accurate is this conversion?
