Credits do the weighting, not the number of courses

Each grade in the [msm_tool slug="gpa-calculator"] is converted to points, multiplied by that course's own credit value, and the sum of those is divided by total credits — a genuinely weighted average rather than a simple mean of grades. That structure is exactly what makes a poor grade in a four-credit module pull the overall figure down far more than the identical grade would in a one-credit course; course count on its own plays no part in it.

Three scales exist because institutions genuinely differ

The 4.0 scale is the standard across the United States, the 4.3 scale adds a distinct value above it for an A+, and the 10-point scale is common in India — three real conventions rather than one preferred and two legacy options. The scale is chosen directly rather than inferred from the numbers entered, since the same figure means something different depending on which convention it belongs to.

Scales do not convert into each other reliably

An 8.0 on a 10-point scale is not simply equivalent to a 3.2 on a 4.0 scale — the relationship between the two is not linear, and institutions publish their own specific conversion tables that admissions offices actually use rather than a proportional approximation.

A failed course still counts its credits

An F contributes zero points to the total while its credits still count fully towards the divisor, which is exactly why a single failure can pull an average down sharply rather than merely nudging it. Whether a retake replaces the original grade or both remain on record varies by institution, so the local rule on that point is worth checking directly.

A close match to the official figure, not a guaranteed one

The standard weighted method used here should land close to what a registrar calculates, but institutions differ in how they treat pass/fail courses, transfer credits, retakes and withdrawals, and any of those local rules can shift the final result. The registrar's own figure remains the authoritative one for anything that actually depends on it.
