About the RP GPA System

Republic Polytechnic is located in Woodlands and is unique among Singapore polytechnics for its Problem-Based Learning (PBL) pedagogy, where students work through real-world problems daily rather than attending traditional lectures. RP uses a 4.0 GPA scale with assessment methods that reflect its PBL-centric approach.

Why GPA Matters at RP

Universities publish the GPAs of polytechnic students offered each course in their Indicative Grade Profiles: in AY2025/26, 90% of those offered NUS Medicine had at least 3.87, NTU Computer Science 3.78, SMU Accountancy 3.71 and NUS Engineering 3.57, while NUS Nursing started at 3.18. Your GPA also determines eligibility for RP academic awards, scholarships, and the Diploma with Merit distinction.

RP Grading Note

RP publishes its grade table in the Student Handbook, which needs an RP login, so this page uses the common Singapore polytechnic 4.0 scale. From Academic Year 2024, internship module grades count toward your cGPA.

What Counts in Your RP GPA

Modules on the Pass/Fail grading scheme do not use these letter grades.

GPA Tips for RP Students

  • Daily graded PBL activities contribute meaningfully to your module grade at RP. Consistent daily participation is more important than cramming before exams.
  • Unlike other polys where exams dominate, RP assessment often splits between daily PBL grades and end-of-module assessments, so neglecting either half hurts your GPA.
  • Form effective study groups early since PBL is collaborative by design, and peer facilitation quality directly affects your daily grades.

Common GPA Mistakes at RP

The most common mistake at RP is treating daily PBL grades as insignificant compared to exams. Since daily activities contribute a substantial portion of the module grade, students who coast through daily sessions often find their GPA far lower than expected despite decent exam scores.

RP Grading System

Republic Polytechnic uses a 4.0-point grading scale. The highest achievable GPA is 4.0, and letter grades are converted to grade points using the RP grade table below. As a polytechnic, RP does not award honours classifications. Your cumulative GPA is the primary academic metric used for university admissions and scholarship applications.

Each module grade earns a specific number of grade points, which are then weighted by credit units to compute your semester GPA and cumulative GPA (CGPA). Use the RP GPA calculator above to project your CGPA based on expected grades.
