Unofficial estimate for planning. Different systems mark differently, so we map achievement level (not raw percentage). Official applications need a credential evaluation.
Converting Bangladesh grades for study in Japan
Applying to a Japan university with a Bangladesh transcript means translating your marks into the local system: Japanese GPA. Enter your grade above for an instant estimate, and use the full table below to see how each band maps.

| 3 | 3.00 · 良 / B |
| 2.5 | 2.50 · 良 / B |
| 2 | 2.00 · 可 / C |
How the Japan system works
Japanese universities assess transcripts directly; JASSO offers guidance. Note a native Japanese GPA is computed on a deflated scale, so evaluate the underlying grades rather than copying a GPA across.
Is it competitive?
Most Japan master's programmes look for the equivalent of a US 3.0+ (an upper-second / good average), with competitive and funded programmes wanting more. Convert first, then check each programme's stated minimum. For a credit-weighted multi-course result, use the WES iGPA calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How do Bangladesh grades convert to the Japan system?
We map your Bangladesh grade to a US 4.0 equivalent, then into Japan's own scale (Japanese GPA) using standard credential-evaluation bands. It's an unofficial estimate — see the table above for the full mapping.
Is this an official conversion?
No. Use it for planning and shortlisting. Japanese universities assess transcripts directly; JASSO offers guidance. Note a native Japanese GPA is computed on a deflated scale, so evaluate the underlying grades rather than copying a GPA across.
What Bangladesh grade do I need to study in Japan?
It depends on the programme, but a strong upper-tier %s result (roughly a US 3.0+ equivalent) is competitive for most master's programmes; selective and funded programmes expect more.
