How this works
National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) publishes CGPA on the 4.0 scale. This tool applies that formula to each semester's grade point average, weights by credit hours, and averages across every semester you add.
Formula
GPA = sum(GP x Credits) / sum(Credits).
Example
A 3-credit course with A (4.0) contributes 12 quality points.
Notes
- NUST uses relative grading — final grade points are assigned after class distribution, so raw percentage cutoffs are not fixed.
- Students must earn at least 1.0 grade points in a course to receive credit.
- XF (attendance shortage) counts as 0.0 and is treated as a fail.
- Minimum CGPA to graduate is 2.00 for undergrads and 2.50 for postgrads.
Terminology
- SGPA
- Semester GPA — the same idea as GPA, using the semester-based terminology common in India / AICTE universities.
- CGPA
- Cumulative GPA — a credit-weighted average of every semester you've completed.
- GPA
- Grade Point Average for a single term, computed from letter grades and credit hours.
Grading policies differ by university, department, and academic year. Use your institution's official calculator or transcript office for anything that counts (transfer credit, scholarships, honors).
FAQ
Is this NUST calculator official?
No. It uses commonly published grading tables. Individual departments may weight or round differently. Always confirm with your official transcript.
How is CGPA calculated at NUST?
Multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours to get quality points, sum across all courses, then divide by total credit hours: CGPA = sum(GP x Cr) / sum(Cr).
