🎓 ICSE / ISC Percentage ↔ U.S. GPA Converter – Crack the Global Code
Let’s get real for a second.
You slogged through English literature that made your head spin. You mastered CISCE’s brutal grading system. You survived ICSE, conquered ISC — and came out with a solid 87.5%.
But when it comes to applying to colleges in the U.S. or Canada, you’re hit with this:
“Please enter your GPA on a 4.0 scale.”
GPA? On what planet does Shakespeare = 3.7?
That’s why we built this: the ICSE / ISC Percentage to GPA Converter — your passport to translating hard-earned Indian brilliance into globally accepted GPA numbers.
🤔 Why Even Convert ICSE / ISC Scores?
Let’s be honest — CISCE students work harder than most. But here’s the catch:
Most Indian schools don’t provide GPA
U.S. & Canadian colleges expect it
Scholarship forms require it
Recruiters and grad schools compare GPA
So if you don’t convert, your 88% might look like a B, not an A.
That’s not just unfair — that’s costly.
📊 ICSE / ISC to GPA – Unofficial (but Trusted) Scale
Based on WES, Scholaro, and NACES evaluations, here’s how ICSE/ISC percentages translate to the U.S. 4.0 scale:
| Percentage Range | Approx. GPA | Letter Grade |
|---|---|---|
| 90–100% | 4.0 | A+ |
| 85–89% | 3.7–3.9 | A |
| 80–84% | 3.5–3.6 | A− |
| 75–79% | 3.3 | B+ |
| 70–74% | 3.0 | B |
| 65–69% | 2.7 | B− |
| 60–64% | 2.5 | C+ |
| 50–59% | 2.0–2.4 | C |
| Below 50% | <2.0 | D / F |
🎯 This is not official from CISCE — but it’s what admissions officers actually use.

🧑🎓 Real Case: Ayaan’s Journey from Kolkata to Cornell
Ayaan topped ISC with 91.2% in Humanities. But his school didn’t issue GPA.
Instead of guessing, he used our converter to peg it at a 4.0 GPA. He added that line to his Common App and got accepted into Cornell University’s School of Arts & Sciences — with scholarship.
💡 His tip? “Don’t let your percentage speak a language colleges don’t understand.”
