• Minimum passing grade at your university
  • Depending upon your university grading system the minimum grade required for passing is to be filled in here. *(for example: 4 or 5 most comonly used)
• Your current overall grade at your university
  • The final average grade obtained by you after 7th semester or 8th semester  of your bachelors or masters studies (if pursued) is to be filled in here. *(for example: 7.5 or 9)

x = 1+3 x (Nmax – Nd) / (Nmax – Nmin)

Here, 

x = German note be calculated,

Nmax =  the best possible grade at your university,

Nmin = the worst grade or the minimum passing grade,

Nd = the final grade obtained by you.
