How to Calculate Your IPN Promedio
The Instituto Politecnico Nacional (IPN) grades on a 0 to 10 scale where 6.0 is the minimum passing calificacion. The promedio is the credit-weighted average across all materias. IPN engineering and science programs report calificaciones to one decimal place, so the calculator accepts decimals.
The calculator above is set to the 0 to 10 scale for Instituto Politecnico Nacional. Enter each materia with its credit value and calificacion; the promedio is the credit-weighted average.

Instituto Politecnico Nacional Grading and Standing
IPN requires a 6.0 to pass each materia and offers recursamiento (course repeat) and extraordinary exams for failed subjects. Excellence diplomas and titulacion options recognize a high promedio. Confirm the exact pass, recursamiento, and titulacion-by-average thresholds with the IPN Direccion de Administracion Escolar.
What makes IPN distinctive: IPN is Mexico's leading public polytechnic, and its programs commonly report calificaciones to one decimal (for example 8.7), so enter the exact decimal calificacion for an accurate promedio.
