Academic grading in Indonesia

In Indonesia, a grade point average ranging from 1 to 10 is used (Before KBK-Competency Based Curriculum was used):

After minister of education approved the use of Competency Based Curriculum in Indonesia, the grade point was made ranging from 0 to 100. However, the passing score differ between one subject and another.

A student is to repeat a year if he or she earns a failing grade in any core subject (Mathematics, Indonesian Language, Religious Education, and some other subjects assigned by the student's major) or if the student fails in more than two non-core subjects.

Grading system for the university is, however, different. Grades are usually assigned in letters, following four-point system. Generally, Indonesian universities equate A with numerical value of 4.0 and E with 0.0. Some universities also employs intermediate grades such as A- and B+. This following list describes the common practice:

The passing grade is usually C or 2 points. However, it should be noted that universities are basically free to (and hence, might) adopt different grading system. Such example is the Tenth of November Institute of Technology and Bandung Institute of Technology which, until recently, doesn't have any intermediate grades. Since 2009, it began to use half-grades AB (3.50), BC (2.50) and CD (1.5).
