Indonesia → Dutch grade conversion table
Indonesian higher education commonly reports letter grades with grade points on a 0-4 scale, often alongside percentage-style score ranges. A C/2.0 is commonly treated as the minimum passing grade for admissions calculations, while local institutions may use additional plus/minus or conditional-pass grades below C.
| Home grade | Dutch grade (1–10) | Level |
|---|---|---|
| A / 4.00 (90-100) | 8.0–8.5 | excellent |
| A- to A/B / 3.50-3.75 (80-89.9) | 7.5–8.0 | very good |
| B+ to B / 3.00-3.25 (70-79.9) | 7.0–7.5 | good |
| B- to B/C / 2.50-2.75 (60-69.9) | 6.5–7.0 | satisfactory |
| C+ to C / 2.00-2.25 (50-59.9) | 5.5–6.5 | pass |
| Below C / below 2.00 (0-49.9) | 1.0–5.4 | fail |
How the Dutch 1–10 scale works
Dutch grades run from 1 to 10, with 5.5 the minimum pass. Most grades fall between 6 and 8; a 9 is rare and a 10 is almost never awarded. Read more in our Dutch grading system guide.
Will my grades be good enough?
For Dutch admissions, assess the official transcript and the institution's own grade legend first. As a practical guide, a B or about 3.0/4.0 is a solid result for many selective programmes, while C/2.0 is a minimum-pass anchor rather than a competitive average.

These conversions are estimates. An official grade conversion requires a formal credential evaluation, and each university makes its own admission decision. See our credential evaluation and ECTS credits guides.
