Credit/ECTS Calculator

Convert your Indian university credits to ECTS (European) or US credit hours for study abroad applications and credit transfers.

Conversion Formulas

Standard conversions used by WES and most universities:

ECTS = Indian Credits × (ECTS per year / Indian Credits per year)
US Credits ≈ Indian Credits × 0.5 (typical 1 Indian credit = 0.5 US semester credit)

What is ECTS?

ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) is used across European universities. One academic year equals 60 ECTS credits. A 4-year bachelor's degree = 240 ECTS, and a 2-year master's = 120 ECTS.
