IBCC A-Level Conversion (Pre-Eng/Med)
Equivalence is calculated by finding the average percentage of your 3 A-Level subjects and applying it to the FSc total marks (1100).
| A-Level Grade | Equivalent % (IBCC) |
|---|---|
| A* | 90% |
| A | 85% |
| B | 75% |
| C | 65% |
| D | 55% |
| E | 45% |
A-LEVEL EQUIVALENCE CALCULATOR
Every year, I meet students in Pakistan who finish their A-Levels and hope to get into local universities. Same goes for people with Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) qualifications, they want to find jobs or kick-start their careers here. But they all hit the same roadblock: getting the equivalence certificate from IBCC (Inter Board Coordination Commission) for their A-Levels. Without it, they have no idea how their grades stack up against the HSSC (FA/FSC) system, so figuring out their merit for university admission or scholarships turns into a guessing game. The official IBCC process drags on, and let’s be honest, no one wants to wait weeks just to see where they stand.
That’s why our team has developed the A-Level Equivalence Calculator. It’s simple to use, just type in the grades for your three main A-Level subjects and hit “Calculate Equivalence.” You get your results instantly. No more waiting, no more confusion. Now you can see exactly where you stand on the merit list.
