Yes. You can use the number of study hours per week if that's how the weight of your grade is determined in relation to other grades. The best way is to use the number of hours specified on the transcript. If there are no hours specified on the transcript, it is generally assumed that all grades have the same weight.

For example, you can put 1 credit for each class, 3 credits for each class, or 20 hours for each class. The resulting GPA is going to be the same.

Is this for all Indian universities? My university has set the passing marks in each paper as 50, so does this work equally well in that case?

50 seems higher than usual, but could still be used depending on the university and the complete scale. If you can send us a reference to the scale, we can look into it and possibly add it to our database.

The University of Pune does not employ the Grade Point Average (GPA) system but uses an aggregate percentage of the student in a year to award classes as follows:

% Marks Class
66 and above First Class with Distinction
60-66 First Class
55-60 Higher Second Class
50-55 Second Class
40-50 Pass Class

-- The above text is included in my official transcript issued by my (Engineering) college, which is affiliated to the University of Pune, India.

The grade scales given for India do not follow this pattern.
Do you advise converting my marks per class as per this scale and calculating my GPA?

Thanks.
