Pakistani Credits to ECTS Formula
This calculator converts your credit hours with the following formula:
ECTS = Pakistani Credit Hours x (240 / 130)
In other words, 1 Pakistani credit hour equals approximately 1.85 ECTS. The ratio is based on a standard 4-year Pakistani bachelor’s degree of about 130 credit hours being equivalent to 240 ECTS, since the European system assigns 60 ECTS per academic year. For example, a 3-credit course converts to about 5.54 ECTS, and a full 130-credit degree converts to 240 ECTS. Note that this is a widely used estimate: individual universities may apply their own conversion, so always confirm with your target university’s admissions office.
