How to calculate your GPA? Use a professional service!

I found some results on the internet for international students to get their credentials assessed to get their Canadian Grade Equivalent:

(1) http://learn.utoronto.ca/ces.htm for CES (Comparative Education Service) from the site www.cicic.ca.

(2) http://www.wes.org/ca/index.asp (World Education Services). They even have an office in Toronto!

Until this morning, I had no clue about GPA (never heard about it in India). At 5 AM, I struck gold! Here's a useful link: http://www.wes.org/gradeconversionguide/ A useful link for Indian students is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_India

Isn't it fascinating (and at the same time, confusing), how grades vary from country to country?!
For example, a score of 61% from India (grading system is extremely strict in India, eh?) is American equivalent of Grade "A-" & a GPA of 3.5, while a score of 61% from the UK is equivalent of "B+" and the same score of 61% from Japan is "C" in the US!

In the U.S, there is also www.ece.org for evaluation of your educational credentials.
