[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 214645, member: 36738"] Hi [USER=36245]@Antariksh Singh Jamwal[/USER] Firms do take international grading systems into account, and they’re used to seeing candidates from jurisdictions like India where the grading scale operates very differently. Many firms refer to guidance similar to what UK universities use when converting overseas marks (for instance, recognising that 60% and above at many Indian law schools can equate to a First, and that 55–60% is broadly comparable to a 2:1). It’s not an exact science, but there are well-understood conversion frameworks in place. That being said, I would try to see if there's a section in your application form which allows you to elaborate/contextualise any academic results (or an “additional information” box). Most application forms do have space for that sort of information. I’d definitely include your class rank and reference the university letter confirming this. That context will give recruiters a much clearer picture of your overall performance. Good luck with your applications! [/QUOTE]
