- Credit hours are often 3 for theory courses and 1–2 for labs—enter the official values from your transcript.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter each course name (optional), the official credit hours, and the percentage marks you received.
- The calculator automatically converts marks to the HEC 4.0 GPA band and displays the equivalent grade point.
- Add all courses from the semester or your entire transcript to compute a cumulative GPA.
- Review the totals at the bottom for total credits, cumulative GPA, and average marks.
Pakistani GPA Formula
Pakistani universities first convert percentage marks into grade points using official bands. The cumulative GPA (CGPA) is then calculated as total grade points divided by total credit hours.
This calculator applies the most common HEC percentage bands (85%+ equals a 4.0, 80–84% equals 3.7, etc.). Adjust the interpretation if your university publishes a custom conversion chart.
Full Description
CGPA reports drive scholarships, exchange-program eligibility, and graduation honors in Pakistani universities. Because many institutions still record marks as percentages, this tool bridges the gap by translating your results into the GPA format used for international applications and official transcripts.
The ReadyCalculator interface supports rapid scenario planning. Curious what happens if you raise a 3-credit course from 68% to 80%? Update the marks and see the CGPA jump immediately. Planning for Dean's Honor List or avoiding probation becomes a data-driven process rather than guesswork.
For students applying abroad, most credential evaluation services request GPA on a 4.0 scale. Export your results or record the conversion in your application notes so admissions teams can interpret your academic performance quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Pakistani grading scale does this calculator use?
The calculator follows the Higher Education Commission (HEC) recommended 4.0 scale widely adopted by Pakistani universities. Always verify the exact ranges with your registrar because some institutions make minor adjustments.
Can I enter CGPA values from previous semesters?
Yes. Add each semester as a “course,” use the credit hours attempted for that term, and convert the CGPA to percentage or grade points before entering the data. The weighted result will match your cumulative GPA.
How do labs and practicals affect GPA?
Lab courses often carry 1 or 2 credit hours rather than the 3 credit hours typical of theory classes. Enter the official credit hours assigned to each course so the weighting remains accurate.
What happens if my university uses letter grades instead of percentages?
You can still use the calculator by converting each letter grade to the percentage range listed in your academic policy. Enter the midpoint of the range to approximate the GPA band.
