Do not invent a GPA conversion unless your university provides an official method. Use the application instructions or recruiter guidance for schools that do not issue a standard GPA.
An unofficial conversion can misrepresent your academic record. Firms recruit from different education systems, so there are usually ways to handle nonstandard grading, but the correct process depends on the application system.
If the form allows 'N/A' or an explanation field, you can state that your university uses narrative evaluations and provide the official transcript. If the field is mandatory and accepts only a number, ask recruiting how they want it entered.
Check your university's official guidance first, then the firm's application instructions. If neither resolves it, contact recruiting before submitting rather than creating your own GPA scale.
