Grading System Overview (Sri Lanka)
Percentage-based with degree classifications—not US-style GPA

Sri Lankan universities primarily use percentage-based grading with degree classifications. Percentages and degree classes are the official measures on transcripts. Credits: "Credits" or "Course Units". Pass mark typically 40%. GPA/CGPA not the national standard.

Step-by-Step Performance Calculation
Credit-weighted percentage average
  1. Marks awarded: Each course graded as percentage (0–100).
  2. Credit weighting: Each course has credit value.
  3. Weighted Mark: Course Mark × Course Credits.
  4. Final Average: Σ(Weighted Marks) ÷ Σ(Course Credits).
  5. Degree classification: From final weighted average.
