Academic grading in Iran
The Iranian grading system is similar to that of France's in secondary schools and universities; the passing grade is 10. level programs, respectively. Iranian grades are not convertible to the 4.0 scale GPA directly, and should be used according to the destination universities' regulations. Usually a grade of more than 16/20 is considered excellent. The following table is most commonly used by world institutions and universities to convert from the Iranian grading system:
| Grade | Scale 1 | Scale 2 | Description | Mentioned |
| 16–20 | A | 4 | Excellent | Highest distinction |
| 12–15.99 | B | 3 | Very Good | Higher distinction |
| 11–11.99 | C | 2 | Good | Distinction |
| 10-10.99 | D | 1 | Acceptable | _ |
| 0-9.99 | F | 0 | Fail | _ |
