The study has aimed to compare the grade conversion tables of Council of Higher Education and universities that adopt a different passing grade in Turkey and put the students' views on this subject forward. The research has been planned using case study one of the qualitative research designs. When examined in detail, it has been determined that neither grade conversion table of Council of Higher Education nor that of universities that have different pass grades have been able to provide a standard. It has been seen that while Council of Higher Education's grade conversion tables provide a transformation in favor of the students studying at universities with 50 pass grade the university, it provides a disadvantageous transformation for the students studying at universities with passing 60 and 70 pass grade and students' opinion also fully support this finding. As a result, the lack of a common university passing system and application of different grading systems (norm-referenced/criterion referenced) can naturally be considered as an obstacle in front of obtaining comparable scores
