About the QAU CGPA Calculator

Whether you are in the Faculty of Biological Sciences or the Department of Economics, semester GPA is a credit-weighted average — use this calculator to verify results before the QAU portal updates.

What QAU students should know

QAU's hilltop campus hosts graduate-heavy programmes alongside undergraduate degrees. Research thesis credits and lab courses carry different weights — enter credits from your official grade report. Students applying for HEC scholarships or foreign fellowships should export sealed QAU transcripts; self-calculated CGPA helps planning only.

How to use this calculator

  1. Open Semester GPA and list each course with credit hours from your QAU registration.
  2. Map letter grades to the HEC table — A = 4.00 (90–100), F below 45 = 0.00.
  3. Use CGPA mode to combine multiple semesters — weight by credits, not by semester count.
  4. For HEC attestation or embassy forms, request official QAU transcripts from the examinations branch.

QAU grading system

QAU follows the HEC Pakistan 4.0 scale where A = 4.00, A- = 3.70, B+ = 3.30, and F (below 45) = 0.00. D- at 45–52% carries 0.70 points — passing but weak for competitive scholarships. Research programmes may publish additional quality requirements beyond minimum CGPA.

The math behind semester GPA and cumulative CGPA is the same across most universities — see our CGPA formula guide for a worked example. For broader planning tips, read the complete CGPA guide on the homepage or browse student articles on the blog.

Percentage conversion

QAU official documents emphasise CGPA and letter grades. HEC-affiliated universities do not share one public percentage multiplier — ask QAU examinations for certified conversion when forms require it.
