Convert Your CGPA to a Degree Classification

If you have studied at a university - or any institution that uses the Cumulative Grade Point Average system - you have probably wondered how your CGPA translates into a degree class. The GPA to Degree Class converter gives you an instant, accurate classification based on the standard university grading scale, removing any ambiguity about where you stand.

universities award degree classifications ranging from First Class Honours at the top to a Pass at the lower end. The boundaries between these classes are defined by CGPA thresholds that most institutions follow, though minor variations exist between universities. This tool uses the most widely adopted scale, which is recognised by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and used by the vast majority of institutions.

The Degree Classification Scale

Here is how the standard scale breaks down:

First Class - CGPA of 4.50 to 5.00. This is the highest achievable classification, typically awarded to the top few percent of graduates. It opens doors to scholarships, competitive graduate programmes, and prestigious employers.

Second Class Upper (2:1) - CGPA of 3.50 to 4.49. Often considered the "target" classification for most ambitious students, a 2:1 is well-regarded by employers and satisfies the entry requirements for most postgraduate programmes both worldwide and abroad.

Second Class Lower (2:2) - CGPA of 2.40 to 3.49. A solid result that qualifies graduates for many professional roles, though some highly competitive programmes and employers set their minimum at 2:1.

Third Class - CGPA of 1.50 to 2.39. While less competitive, a Third Class still represents a completed degree and qualifies the holder for further study in many contexts.

Pass - CGPA of 1.00 to 1.49. The minimum classification for degree award.

Why This Tool Exists

You might think the conversion is simple enough to do in your head, and for a single lookup it is. But there are several situations where having a dedicated tool adds real value:

Applying to foreign universities - When submitting applications to institutions in the UK, US, or elsewhere, you often need to state your degree classification rather than your raw CGPA. Admissions offices may not be familiar with the 5.0 scale, so stating "Second Class Upper" or "2:1 equivalent" communicates your standing more effectively.

Job applications - Many employers and international companies recruiting worldwide specify minimum degree classifications in their requirements. Quickly confirming your classification helps you decide whether to apply.

Scholarship applications - Most scholarship bodies, including the government's bilateral education agreements and private foundations, specify class requirements. Knowing your classification before applying saves time.

NYSC and professional registration - Various professional bodies and the National Youth Service Corps scheme reference degree classifications in their documentation. Having clarity on yours streamlines these processes.

What About Different GPA Scales?

Some institutions use a 4.0 scale rather than 5.0. If your university grades on a 4.0 scale, the classification boundaries differ accordingly. This tool allows you to select which scale your institution uses, ensuring the conversion is accurate regardless of your university's grading system.

Enter your CGPA, select your scale, and get your degree classification instantly. The tool runs in your browser - nothing is sent to a server, nothing is stored.
