Myanmar → Dutch grade conversion table
Many Myanmar higher-education records use percentage marks grouped into a 5-point descriptor scale: 65-100 Excellent, 50-64 Good, 40-49 Average, 30-39 Pass and below 30 Fail. A mark of 30% is the minimum pass in the common scale, although individual universities and faculties may use stricter pass marks.
| Home grade | Dutch grade (1–10) | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent (65-100%) | 8.0–8.5 | very good |
| Good (50-64%) | 7.0–7.5 | good |
| Average (40-49%) | 6.0–6.5 | satisfactory |
| Pass (30-39%) | 5.5–6.0 | pass |
| Fail (0-29%) | 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?
Dutch universities assess Myanmar qualifications individually by diploma level, institution recognition and subject match. For competitive admission, applicants should usually show Good to Excellent results, preferably in the 50-65%+ range or the top local categories, rather than only the minimum pass.
Important: this is indicative only
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.
