SSC Grading System and Grade Points

The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination in Bangladesh follows a specific grading system to evaluate students' performance. Understanding this system is crucial for interpreting your results and calculating your GPA.

The grading system is based on a scale of 0 to 5.0, where 5.0 is the highest possible grade point, commonly known as GPA 5.0 or A+.

SSC Grade and Grade Point Distribution:

Marks Range Letter Grade (LG) Grade Point (GP)
80-100 A+ 5.00
70-79 A 4.00
60-69 A- 3.50
50-59 B 3.00
40-49 C 2.00
33-39 D 1.00
0-32 F 0.00

It's important to note that a student must achieve at least a 'D' grade (Grade Point 1.00) in all compulsory subjects to pass the examination. If a student fails in any subject, their GPA will be calculated excluding that subject's grade point, but the 'F' grade will be explicitly mentioned in their result sheet.

SSC Subject List and Mark Distributions

The SSC examination covers a wide range of subjects, categorized into compulsory, optional, and elective subjects. The mark distribution varies depending on the subject and whether it has practical components.

  • Mathematics
  • Religion and Moral Education (Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity)

General Mark Distribution (Theoretical & Practical):

Most theoretical subjects carry 100 marks, while subjects with practical components (e.g., Physics, Chemistry, Biology) are typically divided into theoretical and practical marks. For instance:

  • Theoretical: 75 marks
  • Practical: 25 marks

For subjects like ICT, the distribution might be 50 marks theoretical and 50 marks practical. The total marks for each subject contribute to the overall GPA calculation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about SSC GPA Calculator

Q: What is GPA in the context of SSC?

A: GPA stands for Grade Point Average. In the SSC examination, it's a numerical representation of your overall academic performance, calculated by averaging the grade points you achieved in all your subjects, weighted by their respective credits.

Q: How is GPA calculated for SSC?

A: GPA is calculated by summing the grade points of all subjects and then dividing by the total number of subjects. This calculator assumes each subject has an equal weight for simplicity, reflecting the common practice for overall GPA calculation in Bangladesh when optional subjects are handled separately by the board.

Q: Is the optional subject included in SSC GPA calculation?

A: For the SSC examination, the grade point of the optional subject is usually added to the total grade points, but only if it's higher than 2.0. If you score above 2.0 in your optional subject, the excess grade point (Grade Point - 2.0) is added to your total grade points for GPA calculation. Our calculator allows you to include it as a regular subject, which is generally how most institutions will factor it for an overall GPA.

Q: What is the highest GPA in SSC?

A: The highest possible GPA in the SSC examination is 5.00, also known as GPA 5 or A+. This is achieved by securing an A+ (Grade Point 5.00) in all subjects.

Q: Can I calculate GPA for HSC using this tool?

A: Yes, while the articles specifically mention SSC, the calculator itself is generic and can be used to calculate GPA for HSC or any other academic system that uses a similar 5.0 grading scale. Just input your HSC subject grades.
