COMSATS (CUI) grade points and mark bands
| Grade | Grade points | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.00 | 85 and above |
| A− | 3.66 | 80 to 84 |
| B+ | 3.33 | 75 to 79 |
| B | 3.00 | 71 to 74 |
| B− | 2.66 | 68 to 70 |
| C+ | 2.33 | 64 to 67 |
| C | 2.00 | 61 to 63 |
| C− | 1.66 | 58 to 60 |

Two CUI notifications matter here. The first, of 7 December 2020, adopted HEC's grading criteria, where each letter carries a range of grade points (B is 2.67 to 3.00). The second, of 18 November 2021, partially modified it and fixed one grade point per letter (B is 3.00). This calculator uses the second.
The GPA formula
GPA = Σ(grade points × credit hours) ÷ Σ(credit hours)
Worked example
| Course | Credit hours | Grade | Points | Credit hours × points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Course 1 | 3 | A | 4.00 | 12.00 |
| Course 2 | 3 | B+ | 3.33 | 9.99 |
| Course 3 | 3 | B | 3.00 | 9.00 |
| Course 4 | 1 | A− | 3.66 | 3.66 |
Total credit hours = 10, total points = 34.65, so GPA = 34.65 ÷ 10 = 3.47. Under the HEC table CUI adopted, 3.47 sits in the A− band (3.34 to 3.66), which the table reports as 80%.
How to use this calculator
- Add a row per course and enter its credit hours.
- Pick the letter grade from your result card.
- Read the GPA. For CGPA, enter every semester's courses together.
- Use the percentage only where a form asks for one, and prefer any percentage printed on your transcript.
Grade points and bands follow CUI Notification No. CUI-Reg/Notif-/21/4304 of 18 November 2021 and the HEC Policy Guidelines table CUI adopted, both read on 20 September 2026. Rules can change; confirm with the Controller of Examinations before relying on a figure.
