No. GMAC (the official GMAT body) does not release an exact calculator. Instead, universities and students use unofficial score predictors based on GMAT’s scoring algorithm.
How is the GMAT score range interpreted in the Pakistani education system?
In Pakistan, universities often compare GMAT scores with local grading systems (such as percentage or CGPA). For example:

A 600–650 score may be considered equivalent to a First Division (70–75%).

Yes, many Pakistani business schools like IBA Karachi, LUMS, KSBL, and SZABIST accept GMAT scores as an alternative to their own admission tests.
Can the GMAT Score Calculator predict chances of admission in Pakistan?
Not directly. The calculator only estimates your GMAT score. Admission chances depend on other factors such as academic background, work experience, interviews, and statement of purpose
