How the Sri Lanka grading scale works
Sri Lankan universities use a 4.0 GPA letter-grade system under the SLQF. The overall GPA is credit-weighted and the degree is classified: First Class GPA >=3.70, Second Upper 3.30–3.69, Second Lower 3.00–3.29.
Grade scale
| Grade / range | Meaning (≈ US) |
|---|---|
| A+ / A (GPA ≥3.70) | First Class (A) |
| B+ (3.30–3.69) | Second Upper (B+) |
| B (3.00–3.29) | Second Lower (B) |
| C (2.00–2.99) | General / Pass (C) |
| Below 2.00 | Fail (F) |
Formula
GPA = sum(credit x grade point) / sum(credits) on a 4.0 scale; maps ~1:1 with the US GPA. Classification thresholds (3.70/3.30/3.00) are the SLQF standard.
Worked example
A GPA of 3.6 = Second Class Upper -> ~3.6 on the US 4.0 scale.
