How the Germany system works
uni-assist evaluates foreign qualifications for most German universities and converts your grade with the modified Bavarian formula. Lower is better — 1.0 is the top mark.
Is it competitive?
Most Germany 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. The Sri Lanka grading scale page has the grade table behind this estimate.
