How the Sri Lankan GPA converts to US GPA
Sri Lankan universities use a 4.0 GPA (A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3 …), so it maps close to 1:1 with the US GPA. Degrees are also awarded by class — First Class, Second Upper, Second Lower — based on GPA thresholds. See the Sri Lanka GPA & class guide for the division cut-offs.
Sri Lanka grade equivalents
| Class | Typical GPA | US GPA |
|---|---|---|
| First Class | 3.70+ | ~3.7–4.0 |
| Second Upper | 3.30–3.69 | ~3.3–3.7 |
| Second Lower | 3.00–3.29 | ~3.0–3.3 |
| Pass | 2.00–2.99 | ~2.0–3.0 |
Is it competitive?
A Second Upper or First Class (3.3–4.0) is competitive for most US and Canadian master's programmes. Convert first, then check each programme's minimum.
Credential evaluation
Use WES or ECE for the US and WES Canada / IQAS / ICES for Canada. Sri Lankan universities issue English transcripts and a certificate of graduation.
