Singapore Polytechnic Grading System

All five Singapore polytechnics use a 4.0-point GPA scale. Your cumulative GPA is the credit-weighted average of every module you have completed across all semesters. Unlike universities, polytechnics do not award honours classifications. Your GPA is the single most important academic metric for university admissions and scholarship applications.

The core grades carry the same points at SP, NP, TP, NYP and RP: A earns 4.0 points, B+ earns 3.5, B earns 3.0, C+ earns 2.5, C earns 2.0, D+ earns 1.5, D earns 1.0, and F earns 0. Each polytechnic adds a few grades of its own, such as SP's D- (0.5) and TP's P (1.0), so choose your school below for its exact table.

Polytechnic GPAs of the 10th and 90th percentile of polytechnic students offered a place in AY2025/26, from the universities' Indicative Grade Profiles. 90% of those offered a place had at least the first figure; it is not a guaranteed cut-off. See every course on the university IGP pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What GPA scale do Singapore polytechnics use?
All five Singapore polytechnics (SP, NP, TP, NYP, RP) use a 4.0 GPA scale. The highest grade is A (4.0) and the lowest passing grade is D (1.0).
What poly GPA do I need for university admission?
It depends on the course. NUS, NTU and SMU publish an Indicative Grade Profile (IGP) each year showing the polytechnic GPA of the students they admitted to each course, so check the latest IGP for the courses you want. For example, in NTU's profile for AY2025-26, 90% of the polytechnic students admitted to Computer Science had a GPA of at least 3.78.
Is the GPA scale the same for all five polytechnics?
All five use a 4.0 scale and the core letters carry the same points: A=4.0, B+=3.5, B=3.0, C+=2.5, C=2.0, D+=1.5, D=1.0, F=0. Each school also has its own extra grades: SP has DIST and a D- worth 0.5, NP has AD and A+, TP has Z (distinction) and P worth 1.0, and NYP has DIST and NGP worth 1.0. Pick your school to use its exact table.
How is polytechnic GPA calculated?
Your polytechnic cumulative GPA is the credit-weighted average of all completed modules. Multiply each module grade point by its credit units, sum them up, then divide by total credit units.
Can I use this calculator for Diploma with Merit planning?
Partly. Diploma with Merit is mostly about ranking in your cohort, not a fixed GPA: SP requires a cGPA of at least 3.0 and a place in the top 10%, TP's School of Design asks for the top 10% and a cGPA of at least 3.50, and NYP asks for the top 10% with no failed modules. NP and RP do not publish their criteria. Use the calculator to track your cGPA, then check your school's award rules.
What is the difference between poly GPA and university GPA?
Singapore polytechnics use a 4.0 scale while most local universities (NUS, NTU, SIT, SUSS, SUTD) use a 5.0 scale. SMU also uses 4.0. A poly GPA of 3.5 out of 4.0 cannot be directly compared with a university GPA of 3.5 out of 5.0.
