Sometimes the colleges send their own format else one can get it written like a letter on the College / University letterhead.

What is GPA
GPA means Grade Point Average. It is given on a scale of 0-4 where 4 is the highest. It is equivalent to the Indian percentage system (0-100%). It is difficult for us to convert so ideally when one sends the information to the college, one needs to attach one's score, as also the highest in one's class, lowest in one's class and average in one's class. Using this the Admissions Committee deduce one's GPA.

What all is considered work experience?

Generally, work done simultaneously along with one's studies is not considered as work experience. Only full-time work experience is considered. However if one has done some summer jobs for a well known company or one was working while doing one's graduation by correspondence, then the Admissions Committee may consider it as work experience. In such cases, candidates may send relevant certificates to the Colleges.
