What is SSC GPA?
GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It summarises your performance across all SSC subjects on a scale of 0 to 5. A GPA of 5.00 represents outstanding achievement, while 0.00 means fail. Your SSC GPA is important for college admission and scholarship opportunities.
How SSC GPA is Calculated (Bangladesh Policy Basics)
The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) GPA calculation is based on a structured system of converting letter grades into grade points and then finding the average of all counted subjects. Understanding the four core components—Grade Point conversion, compulsory subjects, the fail rule, and the optional subject rule—is essential for interpreting your result.

The table below shows the point equivalence for each letter grade, which is the foundation of your final SSC GPA.
| Letter Grade | Grade Point | Classification |
| A+ | 5 | Excellent |
| A | 4 | Very Good |
| A- | 3.5 | Good |
| B | 3 | Above Average |
| C | 2 | Average |
| D | 1 | Below Average |
| F | 0 | Failed |
Compulsory Subjects and the Fail/Absent Rule
The final GPA is calculated based on the grade points of all compulsory subjects (typically 10 subjects/papers, like Bangla 1st & 2nd, English 1st & 2nd, Math, etc.) and the optional subject.
Crucial Policy Note on Failing: If a student receives an ‘F’ (Grade Point 0.00) in any compulsory subject, their final result will be ‘Not Promoted’ (NP), and their final overall GPA will be 0.00, regardless of high scores in other subjects.
Optional/4th Subject Rules Explained: Maximize Your GPA
The Optional Subject (or 4th Subject) is key to maximizing your final GPA, potentially leading to a Golden A+ (GPA 5.00). The calculation is done in two steps:
Step 1: Calculating the Surplus Point
You receive a bonus based on the grade point of your optional subject, but only for points above 2.00 (which is the required passing grade ‘C’).
Step 2: Adding the Surplus and Applying the Ceiling
The calculated Surplus Point is added back to your total GPA average (which excludes the optional subject). However, two strict ceilings apply:
The maximum Surplus Point that can be added back is .
The final overall GPA cannot exceed (Golden A+).
Worked Example: Optimal Optional Subject Bonus
| Subject | Grade | Grade Point | Optional Subject? | Calculation |
| Compulsory Avg | A | 4 | No | Base GPA=4.00 |
| Optional Subject | A+ | 5 | Yes | Surplus=(5.00−2.00)=3.00 |
| Final GPA | Base GPA+Surplus=4.00+3.00=7.00→Capped at 5.00 |
Sum compulsory subject points: 5 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 3.5 + 3 + 4 = 36.5.
Optional subject bonus: 5.0 – 2.0 = 3.0.
Total points = 36.5 + 3.0 = 39.5.
GPA = 39.5 ÷ 9 ≈ 4.39.
Scenario 2: Low Optional Grade: If the Optional Subject Grade Point was 3.00 (‘B’), the Surplus Point would be . Final GPA would be .

Board & Year Differences: General, Dakhil, and Vocational
While the core Grade Point system remains consistent, there are subtle differences in subject counts and specific exemptions between boards.
Madrasa Education Board (Dakhil): Dakhil students follow the same overall GPA structure, though some subjects are replaced with specific Islamic studies subjects. The Optional Subject logic is identical.
BTEB (Vocational): SSC Vocational students also use the 5.00 GPA scale. While the subject set is different (incorporating trade-specific courses), the calculation methodology, including the fail rule and the , generally aligns with the General Education Board.
Legacy vs. Current Policies: Our calculator uses the current grading policy. If you are looking up results from before 2001 or certain periods where the grading system differed, you should verify with the specific Board’s historical circulars.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Your SSC GPA is based on the average of the grade points from all your compulsory subjects. The optional subject is counted differently; only the surplus points (Grade Point - 2.00) are added back to your total GPA.
Failing the optional subject (receiving an 'F' or 0.00 grade point) does not prevent you from passing the SSC examination or receiving a passing GPA. However, it means you will not receive any surplus points, and the subject's grade point will not be used in the calculation.
GPA (Grade Point Average) usually refers to the result of a single public examination like the SSC or HSC. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) typically refers to the average result across multiple years or semesters, most commonly used in university-level (e.g., Honors/Masters) education.
No. The final overall GPA for the SSC examination is officially capped at 5.00 (Golden A+). Even if your subject grade points and optional subject bonus mathematically total a higher average, the result will always be 5.00.
