| Apr 3, 2010 at 7:35 | comment | added | Anirbit | Thanks Pete for your very insightful comment. In various colleges like mine there is no GPA system. One gets raw marks. Here pass marks are 50% and scoring 75% is really hard. And even if colleges have GPA systems, various colleges across the world have different systems. Like some colleges I know have 10 to 2 systems with A being 10 and AB being 9 and B being 8. Some have A being 10 and then next is B being 8 etc. In such cases how do you cross-compare between various marking and grading schemes across the universities around the world? | |
