Fareast International University Grading System 2026: GPA & CGPA Guide

Quick answer: Fareast International University (FIU), Dhaka grades on a 4.00 scale. An A+ is worth 4.00 grade points (80% marks and above), an A is 3.75, an A- is 3.50, a B+ is 3.25, a B is 3.00, a B- is 2.75, a C+ is 2.50, a C is 2.25, a D is 2.00, and anything below 40% is an F worth 0.00. You pass a course at 40% marks. Your semester GPA is the credit-weighted average of your grade points, and your CGPA is the same average over every semester completed. That table is not borrowed from a generic Bangladesh guide: it is published in FIU’s own programme syllabi, quoted directly below. The rest of this guide shows you how to use it, works through four complete calculations with real FIU courses, and tells you honestly which rules FIU has not published.

Check Your FIU GPA With the Calculator

There is no dedicated FIU calculator page on this site. The fastest reliable check is the free calculator on the CGPAPro homepage, which uses the same UGC Bangladesh 4.00 scale that FIU publishes in its own syllabi. The grade points match the table below exactly, so a calculator result and a hand calculation should agree to two decimal places.

Here is how to use it for an FIU semester:

1. Open the homepage calculator and make sure the grade scale is set to UGC Bangladesh (A+ = 4.00, A = 3.75, A- = 3.50, and so on). Do not use a US-style scale: on that scale A = 4.00 and B+ = 3.33.
2. Add one row for every course you took this semester. Type the credit hours exactly as they appear on your course list. Most FIU theory courses are 3 credits, but CEE lab courses are 1.5 credits.
3. Pick the letter grade for each course from the dropdown. Leave out any course showing I, W or Y: those grades carry no grade point.
4. Read your semester GPA. Add a second semester the same way and the calculator gives you your CGPA too.

Before you trust any calculator result, work through one semester by hand using Worked Example 1 below. If the two answers disagree, the cause is almost always a mistyped credit value or a grade point taken from the wrong scale.

Which FIU Is This Guide About?

Read this section first: it prevents the most expensive mistake an FIU student can make online. There are two universities called FIU, and search engines mix them up constantly. This guide is ONLY about Fareast International University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, the private university established in 2013, approved by the University Grants Commission, with the motto “Start Here Succeed Here” and the official website fiu.edu.bd. It is NOT about Florida International University in Miami, USA, whose OneStop grading page and GPA calculators dominate the search results for “FIU GPA”.

The two scales differ in ways that matter. Florida uses A = 4.00, A- = 3.67, B+ = 3.33, D = 1.00 and F = 0.00, with no A+ at all. Fareast uses A+ = 4.00, A = 3.75, A- = 3.50, B+ = 3.25, D = 2.00 and F = 0.00. Type Fareast grades into a Florida calculator and every A- is overstated by 0.17, every D is halved from 2.00 to 1.00, and every A+ has nowhere to go. If a page you are reading mentions Panther IDs or ENC 1101, you are reading about the American university. Close it and come back here.

What Fareast International University Is

Fareast International University is a private university in Dhaka, established in 2013 under the Private University Act, 2010. Its official admission documents give its address as House 87, Road 06, Block C, Banani, Dhaka 1213, and its contact emails as info@fiu.edu.bd and admission@fiu.edu.bd. It runs three terms a year: Spring (January to April), Summer (May to August) and Fall (September to December), with 13 teaching weeks plus one preparation week and one final-examination week per term.

FIU teaches through faculties of Business Administration, Engineering, Science, Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, and Law. Undergraduate programmes include BBA, Tourism and Hospitality Management, LL.B, BA (Hons.) in English and Islamic Studies, B.Sc. in EEE, CSE, Textile Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Bachelor of Architecture. At postgraduate level it offers the MBA (Regular) and other masters programmes. Credit totals differ sharply by programme, from 120 credits for BA (Hons.) in English to 185 for the B. Arch, which is one reason this guide never treats one programme’s rules as every programme’s rules.

The FIU Grading Table: Official Marks, Grades and Grade Points

FIU publishes its grading table in its programme syllabi, and the same table appears verbatim in the B.Sc. in Civil and Environmental Engineering syllabus and the B.Sc. in Textile Engineering syllabus hosted on fiu.edu.bd. Here it is, exactly as FIU prints it:

Three features of this table deserve attention. First, the bands are five marks wide, so a single mark can move you a full grade step: 79 marks is an A at 3.75, while 80 marks is an A+ at 4.00. Second, the grade points are evenly spaced at 0.25 apart from A+ down to D. Third, there is no C-, no D+ and no D- on FIU’s table. If your transcript shows one of those grades, ask your department office about it rather than guessing its value.

The pass line is 40 marks. A D at 2.00 is a pass: you earn the credits and the grade counts in your GPA. Anything below 40 is an F at 0.00: you earn no credits towards graduation, and you must repeat the course (see the retake section below). The table also matches the University Grants Commission uniform 4.00 scale used across Bangladesh, which is why the homepage calculator’s UGC Bangladesh scale reproduces it exactly. But FIU students do not need to rely on the national scale as a substitute: their own university publishes this table.

What the Other Grades Mean: F, I, W, R and Y

FIU’s syllabi define five further symbols beyond the letter grades:

• F (Failure). The failing grade. Credits for F courses do not apply towards graduation, and the course must be repeated.
• I (Incomplete). Given to students who fulfilled the majority of course requirements but could not complete the rest. The student is not required to register for the course in the next semester. An I carries no grade point.
• W (Withdrawal). A student may withdraw by the deadline, with the consent of the instructor and the Academic Advisor. A W carries no grade point.
• R (Repeat). The mark placed on a previous grade after a course has been retaken. An R grade has no effect on GPA or CGPA: the improved grade counts.
• Y (Audit). A student may audit a course for knowledge, pays the full tuition fee, attends classes, is not required to sit for exams, and earns no credits.

In short: only grades from A+ to F enter the GPA, and only F earns zero points. I, W, R and Y are transcript notations, not numbers.

How FIU Marks a Course: Attendance and the Missing Marks Split

Before any letter grade exists, a course total out of 100 marks has to be built from components such as attendance, class tests, assignments, a mid-term and a final examination. Here FIU’s published documents are thinner than students expect.

What is verified: the Civil and Environmental Engineering syllabus requires students to attend all classes, allows only three excused absences per course per semester, and states that attendance can raise the grading point. The MBA and M.Sc. in Soil, Water and Environment syllabi require 80% attendance in each course to sit for the Semester Final Examination, although the authority may condone a shortage on acceptable grounds. The CEE syllabus also describes continuous evaluation of student performance.

What is NOT published in the FIU documents found for this guide: any university-wide percentage split of the 100 marks. No FIU syllabus found here states how many marks go to attendance, class tests, assignments, the mid-term or the final examination. UNVERIFIED: the FIU marks split. Other Bangladeshi universities publish splits such as attendance 10, class tests 10, assignment 10, mid-term 20 and final 50, but that split belongs to those universities, not to FIU. Your course teacher may announce a split for an individual course; treat that as a course-level decision, and never assume it applies to your other courses.

How to Calculate Your FIU GPA, Step by Step

The calculation has four steps. Do it once by hand so you understand it, then use the calculator for speed.

Step 1: Convert each course’s marks to a letter grade. Take your 100-mark total for a course and find its band in the table above. 84 marks is A+, 72 marks is A-, 58 marks is B-. Write the letter grade next to the course.

Step 2: Convert each letter grade to a grade point. A+ is 4.00, A is 3.75, A- is 3.50, B+ is 3.25, B is 3.00, B- is 2.75, C+ is 2.50, C is 2.25, D is 2.00, F is 0.00. This is the step where a wrong scale ruins everything: double-check you are using FIU’s values, not Florida’s (A- 3.67, B+ 3.33, D 1.00).

Step 3: Multiply grade point by credit hours for each course. A 3-credit course with an A (3.75) earns 3 x 3.75 = 11.25 grade points. A 1.5-credit lab with an A+ earns 1.5 x 4.00 = 6.00. This multiplication is why credits matter: a 3-credit A+ pulls your GPA twice as hard as a 1.5-credit A+.

Step 4: Add up all the grade points, add up all the credits, and divide. Semester GPA = total grade points divided by total credits attempted. Include F courses in the credit total (see the UNVERIFIED divisor note below); leave I, W, R and Y out entirely.

The GPA and CGPA Formulas

Semester GPA = (sum of grade point x credits for each course in the semester) / (total credits in the semester)

CGPA = (sum of grade point x credits for ALL courses completed so far) / (total credits completed so far)

The difference is the only thing that matters: GPA covers one semester, CGPA covers everything. A CGPA is not the average of your semester GPAs; it is the average of all your courses weighted by credits. If one semester had 13.5 credits and the next had 15, the 15-credit semester counts more. Worked Example 2 shows the correct method and the size of the error the shortcut creates.

One caution on the F grade: FIU’s syllabus states that F credits do not apply towards graduation and that the course must be repeated, but it does not explicitly state that F credits stay in the GPA divisor. UNVERIFIED: the F-in-divisor treatment. Counting F credits in the divisor is standard UGC practice, and it is the treatment used in every worked example here, but FIU’s own text found here does not spell it out. If your transcript GPA ever disagrees with a hand calculation, check this rule with your department first.

Worked Example 1: A First-Semester CEE GPA of 3.44

Take a first-semester B.Sc. in Civil and Environmental Engineering student. The course codes, names and credits below are real, from Semester I of FIU’s own CEE syllabus:

Add the points: 11.25 + 6.00 + 9.75 + 10.50 + 9.00 = 46.50. Add the credits: 3.0 + 1.5 + 3.0 + 3.0 + 3.0 = 13.5. Semester GPA = 46.50 / 13.5 = 3.4444, which rounds to 3.44. Check: 13.5 x 3.44 = 46.44, within rounding of 46.50.

Notice two things. First, the 1.5-credit Engineering Drawing lab, even with an A+, contributes only 6.00 points, while each 3-credit course contributes 9.00 to 11.25. Labs matter, but they cannot carry a semester. Second, this is a strong first semester, well above the 2.00 good-standing line, yet one B and one B+ among otherwise excellent grades hold it at 3.44. Averages punish inconsistency.

Worked Example 2: CGPA Across Two Semesters (3.47) and the Averaging Trap

Now add a second semester of five MBA foundation courses, all worth 3 credits each in FIU’s MBA syllabus: Business Methods and Organization, Mathematics for Business, Statistics for Business, Managerial Communication, and Principles of Management. (A real FIU student would not mix CEE and MBA courses; the two semesters are combined here only to show CGPA arithmetic across different credit loads.)

Semester 2 GPA = 52.50 / 15 = 3.50 exactly. Now combine both semesters for the CGPA: do not average 3.44 and 3.50, weight by credits.

• Semester 1: 13.5 credits, 46.50 grade points, GPA 3.4444.
• Semester 2: 15 credits, 52.50 grade points, GPA 3.50.
• Total grade points: 46.50 + 52.50 = 99.00.
• Total credits: 13.5 + 15 = 28.5.
• CGPA = 99.00 / 28.5 = 3.4737, which rounds to 3.47.

Here the lazy shortcut happens to give almost the same answer: the simple average of the two semester GPAs is (3.4444 + 3.50) / 2 = 3.4722, which also rounds to 3.47. That is luck, not method: the credit loads (13.5 and 15) are close. Suppose Semester 2 had carried 18 credits at the same GPA of 3.50, giving 63.00 points. The true CGPA would be (46.50 + 63.00) / 31.5 = 109.50 / 31.5 = 3.4762, which rounds to 3.48, while the simple average would still say 3.47. Always work from total points and total credits.

Worked Example 3: What One F Costs, and What a Retake Recovers

Take the same five courses from Worked Example 1, but this time PHY 1111 – Physics I is an F instead of a B:

Semester GPA = 37.50 / 13.5 = 2.7778, which rounds to 2.78: a drop of 0.66 from a single course. The F contributes zero points but its 3 credits stay in the divisor, which is what makes it so expensive.

Now use FIU’s retake rule. The student repeats Physics I within the next two consecutive semesters and earns an A- (3.50). The improved grade is calculated in the transcript and the old F is marked R, which has no effect on GPA or CGPA. So the semester is recalculated with the F replaced: 37.50 – 0.00 + (3.0 x 3.50 = 10.50) = 48.00 points over the same 13.5 credits. New GPA = 48.00 / 13.5 = 3.5556, which rounds to 3.56. Because the new grade (A-) beats the original B, the semester ends higher than it started, at 3.56 against 3.44. At universities that average both attempts, the old F would drag the average down forever. At FIU, a retaken course is a genuine second chance, provided you take it inside the two-semester window.

Worked Example 4: What You Need Next Semester to Reach a Target CGPA

The most practical question a student can ask is not “what is my CGPA” but “what do I need next semester to reach the CGPA I want”. The arithmetic is simple once you rearrange the formula, and it is worth doing before the semester starts rather than after the results come out.

Suppose you have completed 60 credit hours with a CGPA of 3.20, so you hold 3.20 x 60 = 192.00 grade points. You plan to take 15 credit hours next semester, bringing your total to 75. The points you need for any target are the target times 75, minus the 192.00 you already hold, and the semester GPA you need is that number divided by 15.

• Target CGPA 3.30: you need 3.30 x 75 = 247.50 total points, so 247.50 – 192.00 = 55.50 new points over 15 credits, which is 55.50 / 15 = 3.70. That means averaging between an A- (3.50) and an A (3.75) all semester.
• Target CGPA 3.50: you need 3.50 x 75 = 262.50 total points, so 262.50 – 192.00 = 70.50 new points, which is 70.50 / 15 = 4.70. That is above the maximum of 4.00, so it is impossible in one semester. Set a reachable target instead.

The lesson is about weight. Once you have 60 credits banked at 3.20, each new semester can only move the CGPA a little, because 15 new credits are averaged against 60 old ones. The earlier you fix a low CGPA, the cheaper it is.

GPA vs CGPA: What Each Number Means

Students use GPA and CGPA as if they were the same number, then get confused when a good semester does not move the figure they care about. The two numbers answer different questions.

GPA covers one semester. It tells you how you did in that term alone. A GPA of 3.44 in your first semester means you averaged between a B+ and an A- across that term’s courses, and nothing else. Departments and probation rules usually look at the semester GPA, because it shows your current form.

CGPA covers your whole degree so far. It is the credit-weighted average of every course you have completed. Employers, scholarship committees and foreign universities usually ask for the CGPA. A CGPA moves slowly: after 60 credits, one perfect 4.00 semester of 15 credits lifts a 3.20 CGPA only to (192.00 + 60.00) / 75 = 252.00 / 75 = 3.36.

One more note: UNVERIFIED: FIU’s rounding rule. The FIU syllabi found for this guide do not state a rounding rule, so this guide rounds to two decimals following common Bangladeshi practice. If your transcript shows a different rounding, the transcript wins.

Retakes and Improvement: The Two-Semester Deadline

FIU’s retake rules are unusually specific, and they reward students who act fast:

• F grade: you must repeat the course within the next two consecutive semesters. There is no option to leave it until your final year.
• C+, C or D grade: you may repeat the course for improvement within the next two consecutive semesters if you wish. It is optional, but the window is the same.
• B- or above: you are NOT allowed to repeat the course. A B- (55% marks or above) is final, so spend that effort on your remaining courses instead.
• Pre-requisite courses should be repeated on a priority basis.
• Effect on the transcript: the improved grade counts in the final transcript, and the previous grade is marked R (Retake), which has no effect on GPA or CGPA. FIU replaces; it does not average.

Two warnings. First, the two-semester window means consecutive semesters, not “any two semesters before graduation”. Miss it and you may lose the improvement route entirely. Second, UNVERIFIED: the maximum number of retake attempts per course. FIU’s published text gives the window but no attempt limit, so confirm the limit with your department before planning around a second retake.

Good Standing, Probation and Dismissal

FIU does not have one standing rule for everybody. Quoting the wrong level’s rule is a common and costly mistake.

Undergraduate programmes (Civil and Environmental Engineering syllabus). To remain in good standing, a student must maintain a minimum CGPA of 2.00 out of 4.00. A student who obtains an F in any semester must repeat that course within the next two consecutive semesters. If, after repeating, a student fails to raise the CGPA to 2.00, he or she will automatically be dismissed from the programme. There is no published undergraduate “probation” label with its own threshold in this syllabus.

Graduate programmes (MBA and M.Sc. in Soil, Water and Environment syllabi). Students earning a GPA of less than 2.50 in a semester are kept on “probation”. If they fail to improve even after 3 semesters of probation and the GPA is still below 2.50, they may be dropped from the programme. Note the wording: “may be dropped”, not “will automatically be dismissed”. Graduate probation is a warning period with a decision at the end; undergraduate dismissal below 2.00 after repeats is automatic.

If you are an undergraduate and someone tells you that you are “on probation below 2.50”, they are quoting a graduate rule. If you are an MBA student and someone tells you that 2.00 is enough, they are quoting an undergraduate rule. Check which document governs your programme early: by the time a dismissal letter arrives, the repeat window has usually closed.

Graduation: Credits and the CGPA Question

Graduation at FIU has two parts: enough credits, and a good enough CGPA. The credit part is programme-specific and published; the CGPA part is where students get confused, because FIU’s own documents give different numbers for different programmes.

Credit totals from FIU’s Fall-2026 programme list include: BBA 130, Tourism and Hospitality Management 133, LL.B 141, BA (Hons.) in English 120, BA (Hons.) in Islamic Studies 132, B.Sc. in EEE 147.5, B.Sc. in CSE 156, B.Sc. in Textile Engineering 156, B.Sc. in CEE 160, and Bachelor of Architecture 185. Diploma-holder variants carry fewer credits. Always confirm your own programme’s total against your admission batch’s syllabus.

On the CGPA floor: the Textile Engineering syllabus states its degree requirement plainly, 156 credit hours with CGPA 2.50. The Civil and Environmental Engineering syllabus requires good standing at CGPA 2.00 and automatic dismissal below it, with no higher graduation floor stated. Graduate programmes operate under the 2.50 probation rule described above. Because of this split, UNVERIFIED as a university-wide rule: a single FIU graduation CGPA. There is no published single number that applies to every FIU student. Your programme syllabus decides your degree, and the Registrar’s office settles any conflict between documents.

Two further points from FIU’s syllabi are worth knowing. First, credits for F courses do not apply towards graduation at all, so a failed course is a missing-credit problem until you pass it. Second, transfer credits from institutions with an equivalent curriculum and comparable grading standard may be considered up to 50% of the total credits required for graduation, reviewed case by case after enrolment.

Dean’s List

As a recognition of excellent performance, the names of students with an average GPA of 3.75 or above in two regular terms in each academic year may be published in the Dean’s List in each faculty or School. Note the details: it is an average of 3.75 or above across two regular terms, not a single brilliant semester, and publication is by faculty or School. A student with 4.00 in one term and 3.40 in the next averages 3.70 and misses the list.

Common Mistakes FIU Students Make

1. Using the Florida scale. Typing Fareast grades into a Florida FIU calculator misprices every A-, B+ and D, and leaves A+ with no value at all. Always check that your scale says A = 3.75 and A+ = 4.00.

2. Averaging semester GPAs instead of weighting by credits. A 13.5-credit semester and an 18-credit semester do not count equally. Work from total grade points and total credits.

3. Leaving F credits out of the divisor. Until the retake is complete, the F’s credits sit in the divisor and drag the GPA down. That is precisely why retaking promptly matters.

4. Assuming a B- can be improved. It cannot. FIU forbids repeating a course graded B- or above. Students who lobby to retake a B- waste the window they could have used on an eligible C+ or D.

5. Missing the two-semester retake window. The window runs in consecutive semesters from the original grade. A student who postpones a retake “until final year” may find the route closed.

6. Quoting the wrong graduation floor. Undergraduates and graduates live under different numbers (2.00 good standing versus 2.50 probation), and Textile requires CGPA 2.50. Quoting a friend’s programme rule as your own is how students discover a shortfall in their final semester.

7. Treating CGPA x 25 as an official percentage. FIU publishes no CGPA-to-percentage conversion. Multiplying by 25 gives a rough estimate, not an FIU rule, and foreign evaluators apply their own tables. When a percentage matters, attach the transcript.

8. Trusting a marks split FIU never published. If a senior tells you attendance is 10 marks and the final is 50, ask where that is written for your course. FIU’s published documents give no university-wide split.

Tips to Protect and Raise Your CGPA

Protect the high-credit courses first. A 3-credit course moves your GPA twice as much as a 1.5-credit lab. When study time is short, spend it where the credits are.

Guard the band boundaries. Because every band is five marks wide and worth 0.25 grade points, one mark at a boundary (79 to 80, 74 to 75, 39 to 40) is worth a full grade step. Check totals and challenge marking errors early.

Never let attendance become the reason you fail. Undergraduates get only three excused absences per course per semester, and MBA and SWE students need 80% attendance to sit the final exam at all. An exam you are barred from is an F by default (see Worked Example 3).

Retake early, retake once, retake well. File for the retake in the next available semester, prioritise pre-requisite courses, and aim for an A: FIU’s replacement rule means a strong retake grade fully replaces the old one.

Plan with the target-GPA maths before registration. Run Worked Example 4’s calculation for your own numbers before choosing your credit load. If your target is impossible next semester, plan over two semesters.

Compare like with like. Other Bangladeshi private universities publish the same UGC 4.00 scale but different administrative rules. For comparison, read the guides for Cox’s Bazar International University, Central Women’s University, Bangladesh University of Health Sciences, CCN University of Science and Technology and Exim Bank Agricultural University – but never import another university’s rules into your FIU plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Fareast International University the same as Florida International University?

No. They share the initials FIU and nothing else. Fareast International University is a private university in Dhaka on the UGC 4.00 scale (A+ = 4.00, A = 3.75, D = 2.00). Florida International University is a public university in Miami, USA, on a US scale (A = 4.00, A- = 3.67, D = 1.00, no A+). Almost every “FIU GPA calculator” in search results is the American one.

Is an A worth 4.00 or 3.75 at FIU Dhaka?

3.75. Only an A+ (80% marks and above) is worth 4.00 at Fareast International University. An A (75% to less than 80%) is 3.75.

What is the pass mark at FIU?

40% marks, which is a D worth 2.00 grade points. A D passes and earns credits. Anything below 40% is an F worth 0.00, earns no credits towards graduation, and must be repeated within the next two consecutive semesters.

Can I retake a B- to improve it?

No. FIU does not allow a student who earned B- or above (55% marks or above) to repeat that course. Only C+, C and D grades may be repeated for improvement, and F grades must be repeated, all within the next two consecutive semesters.

Does a retake erase my old grade from my CGPA?

For GPA and CGPA purposes, yes. FIU calculates the improved grade in the final transcript, and the previous grade is marked R (Retake), which has no effect on GPA or CGPA. The old grade remains visible as an R-marked entry, but it does not drag the average down.

What CGPA do I need to graduate from FIU?

It depends on your programme, and there is no single university-wide number in FIU’s published documents. Undergraduate good standing requires CGPA 2.00, and a student who cannot reach 2.00 after repeats is automatically dismissed. The Textile Engineering syllabus states its degree requirement as 156 credits with CGPA 2.50. Graduate programmes place students on probation below a semester GPA of 2.50. Check your own programme syllabus and confirm with the Registrar.

How do I convert my FIU CGPA to a percentage?

FIU publishes no official conversion, so there is no FIU-approved formula. The shortcut CGPA x 25 is a rough Bangladeshi convention, not an FIU rule, and foreign evaluators use their own tables. For jobs, scholarships and visa applications, submit the transcript CGPA itself.

What FIU Has Not Published: Rules Marked UNVERIFIED

A guide that invents rules is worse than a guide that admits gaps. The following FIU rules could not be verified from any FIU document found in this research. Treat each one as a question for your department or the Registrar (info@fiu.edu.bd, admission@fiu.edu.bd), not as a fact:

• UNVERIFIED: the university-wide marks split. No FIU document found here states the attendance, class-test, assignment, mid-term and final percentages.
• UNVERIFIED: the GPA/CGPA rounding rule. FIU’s syllabi found here do not state how many decimals transcripts use.
• UNVERIFIED: the F-in-divisor treatment. FIU states that F credits do not count towards graduation, but does not explicitly state that they stay in the GPA divisor. Standard UGC practice says they do.
• UNVERIFIED: the maximum number of retake attempts per course. Only the two-consecutive-semester window is published. No attempt limit was found.
• UNVERIFIED: a single university-wide graduation CGPA. Programme documents give 2.00 (undergraduate good standing) and 2.50 (Textile degree requirement; graduate probation). No single number covers every FIU student.
• UNVERIFIED: an official CGPA-to-percentage conversion. None published. CGPA x 25 is an approximation, not an FIU rule.
• UNVERIFIED: class or division bands. The national convention (First Class 3.00-4.00, Second Class 2.25-2.99, Third Class 2.00-2.24) is not stated as an FIU rule in the documents found here.
• UNVERIFIED: a current student handbook superseding the published syllabi. The grade table and rules in this guide come from FIU’s syllabus PDFs hosted on fiu.edu.bd under its legacy path. If your department holds a newer handbook, that handbook wins.

If you can point to the official document that settles any item above, that document overrides this section. Until then, calculate with the verified table, act inside the verified windows, and confirm the rest in writing.

Conclusion

Fareast International University’s grading system is straightforward once the two traps are removed: the Florida scale that search engines keep pushing at Bangladeshi students, and the assumption that one number governs every programme. FIU publishes its own table, A+ at 4.00 down to D at 2.00 with F at zero below 40%, and pairs it with unusually clear retake rules: repeat an F within two consecutive semesters, improve a C+, C or D in the same window, never retake a B- or above, and let the improved grade replace the old one outright. Hold a CGPA of 2.00 to stay in good standing as an undergraduate, respect the 2.50 probation line as a graduate student, and check your own programme’s credit total and degree requirement rather than borrowing a friend’s. Work one semester by hand, check it against the homepage calculator, and keep the two-semester retake window in front of you.
