These calculators work out your GPA and CGPA using each university's own grading table. Universities in Pakistan do not all grade the same way. The marks needed for an A, the grade points for a B+ and even the passing mark can differ.
Pick your university for the most accurate answer. Popular pages include UAF, COMSATS, NUST, PU and UET. If your university is not listed, the general GPA calculator and CGPA calculator let you enter grade points yourself.

Universities and how they grade
GPA, CGPA and credit hours
GPA is your grade point average for one semester. CGPA is the average across every semester so far. Both are weighted by credit hours, so a 4 credit hour course counts twice as much as a 2 credit hour course.
To work out a GPA, multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours. Add these up and divide by the total credit hours. For CGPA, do the same across all semesters. Do not simply average your semester GPAs unless every semester had the same credit hours.
Some universities, such as UAF, work from marks and quality points rather than letter grades. Our university pages follow each one's own rule, so you do not need to convert anything first.
Common questions
What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA covers one semester. CGPA is the running average of all semesters completed so far, weighted by credit hours. If you had a GPA of 3.5 in a 15 credit hour semester and 3.0 in a 18 credit hour semester, your CGPA is closer to 3.0 because the second semester carries more weight.
How do I convert CGPA to percentage?
HEC publishes a table that maps grade point bands to percentage bands. For example, a CGPA from 3.67 to 4.00 falls in the 85 to 100 band. Our CGPA to percentage calculator uses that table. Some universities print their own conversion on the transcript, and that takes priority.
Why does my university have its own GPA calculator page?
Grading tables differ. One university may give 3.67 for an A-, another may start an A at 85 marks and another at 80. Using the wrong table can move your GPA by a tenth of a point or more. Each of our university pages names the table it follows.
