This seems to be a rampant phenomenon in most universities in the States and Canada. I have friends in the States who were lets say mediocre students in high school pulling absolutely insane GPAs in University.
Did they adjust better to University?.. I think not (they party alot). So what exactly is the point in going to a university with a harder curriculum and get lower grades where I could have just gone to some party school and had alot of fun and get my 4.0.
Would employers really have a different idea in their mind? That this 3.0 student from a “harder” university is more capable than a let’s say a 4.0 from an “easier” one.
I talked to an Econ professor about this and all he said to me was “it’s not all about grades” . Not exactly comforting.
Re: Grade Inflation.
Yes.. the big employers who have been engaged in years and years of hiring from various schools are actually aware of the phenomenon. I can say this because I worked in tandem with such recruitment initiatives myself where we would actually go into as much diligence as scoring a candidate’s grades against various weighting factors to bring them inline to do a formal comparison. For e.g. a student with a 2.7 from a difficult university would get a weight of 1.2, whereas someone with a 3.5 from an easy school would get a weight of 0.8.
Secondly, once you’re in the workforce, you’ll realize that your superiors recognize the calibre of your education… I’ve personally heard some comments like “well a 2.5 at your school is like a 3.0 at any other school in the nation”, and that actually feels pretty good that others know this.
Re: Grade Inflation.
And what if im getting 2.8 at an “easy” school? 
Re: Grade Inflation.
I don't know if this is related to grade inflation or not, but I despise this whole "Grade Curving" deal. What the hell? And on top of that no one is consistent. At my university, history classes are notorious for this. Get the wrong prof, and your life will be hell. You will study all the time and still get a C. Get the right prof, put very little effort, make Bs in your test, and some how by the magic of grade curving you will get an A.
Atleat in Pakistan, you got the grade you made, and 10 points were not magically tacked on to it.

You’re a lost cause, mate.
