Singapore 4.0 Scale

Poly GPA Calculator

Free GPA calculator for all Singapore polytechnic students. Project your cumulative GPA on the 4.0 scale and plan your university admission targets.

Use the SP / NP / TP (4.0) option for the shared core grade table. For extra grades and school-specific rules, open your polytechnic's calculator. This general tool does not automatically apply school-specific exclusions or repeat-module policies.

Singapore Polytechnic Grading System

All five Singapore polytechnics use a 4.0-point GPA scale. Your cumulative GPA is a credit-weighted average of the modules included in your school's GPA calculation, not an average of semester GPAs. Use the credit units on your results slip. A failed module may still count even though it earns no grade points; exemptions, pass/fail grades and repeats need your school's rules. GPA is one part of university admissions.

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.

Semester GPA and cumulative GPA: an SP example

SP's published example starts with 60 grade-point units over 20 credit units: cGPA 3.00. Its next semester has these five modules. To reproduce it, enter Current CGPA 3.00 and Credits Done 20, then replace the calculator’s example rows with these grades and credits.

SP second-semester inputs; the failed module's 4 units remain in the total.

D (1.0)55
C (2.0)48
C+ (2.5)25
B (3.0)412
F (0.0)40

This semester only: 1.58

30 grade-point units ÷ 19 credit units = 1.58, shown to two decimal places. Clear both previous-record fields to see this semester alone.

Combined record: 2.31

(3.00 × 20 + 30) ÷ (20 + 19) = 90 ÷ 39 ≈ 2.31. Averaging 3.00 and 1.58 would ignore the unequal credit totals.

Do not enter modules already included in your previous GPA and credits a second time. Use unrounded points from your transcript for the most exact figure.

SP includes examined failed modules and may automatically exclude up to two electives from the final cGPA, from AY2024/25, only when the exclusions improve that final result. Those are SP rules, not blanket instructions for all five polys. Check the SP GPA calculator and inclusion notes or your own school's page before removing a module.

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 the modules included under your school's rules. Multiply each included module grade point by its credit units, add the products, then divide by the included credit units. Do not average semester GPAs when semesters have different credit totals.

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 against 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.
