For a Bangladesh 4.00 CGPA scale with 2.00 as the lowest pass, use German grade = 1 + 3 × ((4 − your CGPA) ÷ 2). A CGPA of 3.75 converts to about 1.4, 3.50 to 1.8, 3.00 to 2.5, and 2.50 to 3.3. Your transcript's own pass mark controls the result.

The formula for a 4.00 to 2.00 scale
German grade = 1 + 3 × ((4.00 − your CGPA) ÷ (4.00 − 2.00))
The shorter version is:
German grade = 1 + 3 × ((4.00 − your CGPA) ÷ 2)
This is the Modified Bavarian Formula. It maps 4.00 to German 1.0 and 2.00 to German 4.0.

Check your transcript before using the table
The word “pass” can mean the lowest passing course grade or the minimum CGPA needed to receive the degree. The German conversion may use the rule that applies to the completed qualification. Use the values printed on the transcript, grading legend, or an official letter from the university.
If your lowest passing grade is not 2.00, do not use this table. Enter the exact best and passing values in the German grade calculator. If uni-assist reviews your documents, its issued VPD is the application result.
