Times University Grading System 2026: GPA & CGPA Guide

Quick answer: how Times University Bangladesh grades your work

Times University Bangladesh (TUB), Faridpur, 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: a D earns you the credit. Your semester GPA is the credit-weighted average of your grade points for that semester, and your CGPA is the same weighted average stretched across every semester you have completed. That table is not borrowed from a generic Bangladesh guide. TUB publishes it on its own programme pages, in its own words, as the letter grade and grade point system introduced by the University Grants Commission (UGC) as a uniform grading system for all public and private universities. The rest of this guide shows you how to use it, works through four complete calculations with real TUB programme loads, and tells you honestly which rules TUB has not published.

Three numbers from TUB’s own pages matter more than any other. First, 40 is the pass line: below 40% you fail the course and earn no credit for it. Second, 10 is the attendance share: class attendance is worth 10 of the 100 marks in a course, so skipping class costs marks directly, not just knowledge. Third, 60 is the pre-final share: assignment, attendance, presentation and the mid-term exam together make up 60 of the 100 marks, which means well over half your grade is decided before you ever sit the final exam. If you remember only three numbers from this guide, remember 40, 10 and 60.

Check your TUB GPA with the calculator

There is no dedicated TUB calculator page on this site, and this guide will not pretend otherwise. The fastest reliable check is the free calculator on the CGPAPro homepage, which runs on the same UGC Bangladesh 4.00 scale that TUB publishes on its own pages. 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 a TUB 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, and every one of your grades except B and F would come out wrong.
2. Add one row for every course you took this semester. Type the credit hours exactly as they appear on your course list. Most TUB theory courses are 3 credits, but do not assume: check your own registration, because a mistyped credit is the most common cause of a wrong GPA.
3. Pick the letter grade for each course from the dropdown. Convert your percentage marks to a letter grade first using the table below, because 79% is an A (3.75), not an A+ (4.00), and one band of difference changes your GPA.
4. Read your semester GPA. Add more semesters 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 Times University is this guide about?

Read this section first, because the name causes real confusion. This guide is ONLY about Times University Bangladesh (TUB), Faridpur, Bangladesh, the private university founded in 2013 under the Private University Act 2010, whose official website is timesuniversitybd.com. It describes itself as the only private university in Faridpur, and it is officially recognised by the University Grants Commission of Bangladesh.

It is NOT about any of the following, all of which appear in searches for “Times University”:

• Times Higher Education (THE) rankings. That is a London-based university ranking publisher, not a university at all. Its “Times” has nothing to do with TUB, and its rankings do not set TUB’s grades.
• Any American university with “Times” in a news headline. US universities grade on different scales (typically A = 4.00, A- = 3.67, B+ = 3.33, D = 1.00), and none of those values matches TUB’s table. If a calculator page gives you A- = 3.67, you are on the wrong continent.
• Old web listings under the domain times.ac.bd. That domain appears in older UGC-era lists for this university, but TUB’s current official site is timesuniversitybd.com, and that is the site this guide quotes. If a page you are reading does not end in timesuniversitybd.com and does not mention Faridpur, check the domain before you trust a number.

A useful identity check: if the page mentions West Khabashpur, Faridpur, the Private University Act 2010, and the UGC uniform scale, you are reading about the right university. If it mentions Panther IDs, US states, or ranking tables, you are not.

What Times University Bangladesh is

Times University Bangladesh is a private university in Faridpur, a city in southern Bangladesh. TUB’s own site says it was founded in 2013 under the Private University Act 2010 with a vision to create a global higher education centre of excellence, and that it is the only private university in Faridpur. Its campus sits at West Khabashpur on the Faridpur-Bhanga highway, and its published contact numbers are 01771-766 591 and 01704-183 449, with contact@timesuniversitybd.com as its email. The university says it is committed to quality education at an affordable cost for students of greater Faridpur and the south Bengal region, including Barisal and Khulna divisions, who would otherwise have to travel to Dhaka for private university study.

TUB teaches through departments that its own site lists as CSE, BBA, MBA, LL.B, LL.M, BA English, MA English, BA Economics and MA Economics, across faculties including Arts, Law, Social Science and Business Administration. Its stated quality tools include regular classes, quizzes, individual presentations and strict examinations, plus programmes with names like Professional Life Skills Development (PLSD), Times University Initiatives for Future Transformers (TIFT), a Student Mentorship Program (SMP) and an Inner Voice Forum (IVF). It also has an Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), which the UGC requires in every private and public university.

One honest note for applicants. Published reporting from 2019 described serious problems in TUB’s early years, including that it began admitting students in January 2014 before receiving UGC permission for academic activities in November 2015, and that some early LLB graduates had difficulty with Bar Council membership. That reporting is about the university’s early years, not a statement about its current status, and TUB’s own site is active today with current programme pages. Even so, before enrolling anywhere, confirm the university’s current standing on the UGC’s current approved list and ask the admissions office directly. That single check protects you more than any article can.

The official TUB grading table

TUB publishes its grading table on its programme pages, and the same table appears verbatim on the CSE page, the BBA page and the MA English page. Here it is, exactly as TUB 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, and 74 marks is an A- at 3.50 while 75 is an A. There is no rounding up into the next band on the published table. Second, the grade points are evenly spaced at 0.25 apart from A+ down to D, and then there is a cliff: the step from D (2.00) to F (0.00) costs the full 2.00 points, eight times a normal step. That cliff is why one failed course hurts so much more than one weak pass. Third, there is no C-, no D+ and no D- on TUB’s table. If your transcript shows one of those grades, or if a calculator offers you one, 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 for that course. The table also matches the UGC uniform 4.00 scale used across Bangladesh, which is why the homepage calculator’s UGC Bangladesh scale reproduces it exactly. But TUB students do not need to rely on the national scale as a substitute: their own university publishes this table, on three separate programme pages.

How your 100 marks are built: the TUB marks split

Before any letter grade exists, a course total out of 100 marks has to be built from components. TUB publishes this split on its programme pages, and it is one of the most useful facts in this guide, because it shows how much of your grade is decided before finals week.

For the B.Sc. in CSE, TUB’s page gives: Assignment 10, Class attendance 10, Presentation/Project 10, Mid-Term Examination 30, Semester Final Examination 40, total 100. For the BBA, the split is nearly identical: Assignment/Class Test 10, Class attendance 10, Presentation/Project/Viva 10, Mid-Term Examination 30, Semester Final Examination 40, total 100. For MA English: Assignment 10, Class attendance 10, Presentation/Lab 10, Mid-term Test 30, Semester Final Examination 40, total 100.

Read that split as a strategy. Sixty of your 100 marks come from work done before the final exam: the assignment, your attendance, your presentation and the mid-term. The final exam itself is worth 40 marks. A student who ignores everything until finals week is defending 40 marks while 60 are already decided, and no final-exam performance can recover marks that were never earned in the first place. Attendance alone is worth 10 marks, a full grade band on its own in many courses: the difference between full attendance marks and zero attendance marks can be the difference between an A and an A-, or between a D and an F.

One caution: the splits above come from the CSE, BBA and MA English pages. Individual courses, especially lab or project courses, may weight components differently, and your course teacher’s outline for that course is the final word for that course. Do not assume the 10-10-10-30-40 split applies to every course you take without checking its outline.

Programme credit totals and admission floors at TUB

Credit totals differ sharply by programme, which is one reason this guide never treats one programme’s rules as every programme’s rules. TUB’s own programme pages give these totals:

• B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering (general students): 153 credits, 8 semesters, 4 years. The diploma-holder route is shorter: 129 credits, 6 semesters, 3 years.
• BBA: 132 credits, 8 semesters, 4 years. TUB’s BBA covers Finance, Marketing, Human Resources, Accounting, Banking, Management Information Systems, Real Estate, Project Management and Supply Chain Management.
• MBA: 69 credits of core courses, electives for the major, and an internship project, structured into 4 regular semesters at 18 credits each, followed by a twelve-week internship assignment or project with a formal presentation. Students with a 4-year BBA certificate may get a credit transfer or waiver of 30 credits depending on grades, and students from another discipline can also apply for transfer or waiver depending on their previous study.

TUB’s LLB course pages list semester-by-semester course contents but do not publish a total credit figure on the pages found for this guide, so this guide does not quote one. If you are an LLB student, your department office can confirm your required total, and it matters: your CGPA denominator is your completed credits, and planning your final semesters without knowing the total is guesswork.

Admission floors, from TUB’s own pages, are useful context for new students and for anyone wondering what standard TUB sets at entry:

• CSE undergraduate (general students): minimum 2.50 GPA in both SSC and HSC, from Science, with minimum grades in Physics, Mathematics and English. English-medium applicants need five O-level subjects and at least two A-level subjects, with a minimum of 4 “B” grades and 3 “C” grades across the seven subjects, and Physics and Mathematics at both O-level and A-level.
• Master’s programmes: minimum GPA 2.00 or equivalent at Bachelor level, plus minimum GPA 2.50 in both SSC and HSC, or at least one GPA of 2.00 with an aggregate GPA of 6.00 across SSC and HSC. O-level applicants need at least five O-level and two A-level subjects, with at least 4 B grades and 3 C grades across the seven. LL.M applicants need at least an LL.B (Hons) from a recognised university. EMBA applicants need at least 2 years of job experience with a Bachelor degree, or a 4-year Bachelor (Honors) degree. The graduate application form costs Tk. 500.

Notice the gap between the entry floor and the grading scale. A student admitted with SSC and HSC GPAs of 2.50 is starting university on a 4.00 scale where 2.50 is a C+ average. That is a passable start, not a comfortable one, and the worked examples below show how quickly early grades lock in a CGPA.

How to calculate your TUB 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 TUB’s values, not the US scale (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. This multiplication is why credits matter: a 3-credit A+ pulls your GPA twice as hard as a 1.5-credit A+, and a bad grade in a heavy course hurts far more than a bad grade in a light one.

Step 4: Add up all the grade points, add up all the credits, and divide. Semester GPA = total grade points divided by total credits. Round to two decimal places, which is how transcripts normally show GPA and CGPA. If your transcript shows a value one hundredth different from your own calculation, rounding is the first thing to check, not an error in your arithmetic.

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 15 credits and the next had 18, the 18-credit semester counts more. Worked Example 2 shows the correct method and the size of the error the shortcut creates.

Worked Example 1: a first-semester BBA GPA of 3.50

Take a first-semester BBA student taking five 3-credit courses, 15 credits in total. Every number here is checked by hand:

Add the points: 11.25 + 10.50 + 9.75 + 9.00 + 12.00 = 52.50. Add the credits: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15. Semester GPA = 52.50 / 15 = 3.50 exactly. This student is not a 4.00 student because of one A+, and not a 3.00 student because of one B. The weighted average tells the fuller story, and it sits exactly on the A- line. Notice also that because every course carries the same 3 credits, the GPA here equals the simple average of the five grade points (3.75 + 3.50 + 3.25 + 3.00 + 4.00 = 17.50, and 17.50 / 5 = 3.50). That is a coincidence of equal credits, not the rule. The rule is always credit-weighted, and Example 2 shows why that matters.

Worked Example 2: CGPA across two semesters (3.30) and the averaging trap

Now add a second semester of six 3-credit courses, 18 credits in total:

Semester 2 GPA = 56.25 / 18 = 3.125, which rounds to 3.13. Now combine both semesters for the CGPA: do not average 3.50 and 3.13, weight by credits. Total grade points: 52.50 + 56.25 = 108.75. Total credits: 15 + 18 = 33. CGPA = 108.75 / 33 = 3.2955, which rounds to 3.30.

Here the lazy shortcut gives a different answer, which is the point. The simple average of the two semester GPAs is (3.50 + 3.125) / 2 = 3.3125, which rounds to 3.31. That is wrong: the true CGPA is 3.30. The simple average overweights the lighter 15-credit semester and underweights the heavier 18-credit one. The gap is small here and grows whenever your semesters differ more in credits, for example a 12-credit semester next to a 19-credit one. Always work from total points and total credits.

Worked Example 3: what one F costs, and what a retake could recover

Take a semester of five 3-credit courses, 15 credits in total, where one course is failed:

Here the honest complication appears. TUB’s published pages do not state whether a failed course’s credits stay in the GPA divisor. Most Bangladeshi universities count the F at 0.00 in the divisor, and that is the reading used first here: GPA = 38.25 / 15 = 2.55. But if TUB instead excluded the failed course from the divisor, the same semester would read 38.25 / 12 = 3.1875, which rounds to 3.19. The gap is 0.64 of a grade point, and it decides whether this student looks comfortably above a 2.00 line or barely above it. Do not guess which reading your department applies. Ask, in writing if you can, and keep the answer, because it changes every GPA you calculate from a semester containing an F. The worked examples in the rest of this guide count F as 0.00 in the divisor, which is the more conservative reading and the one that cannot flatter your result.

Now suppose the student retakes Chemistry and improves the F to a B (3.00). Under the replacement reading, where the new grade replaces the old one in the CGPA, Chemistry now contributes 3 x 3.00 = 9.00 instead of 0.00. New total = 38.25 + 9.00 = 47.25 over the same 15 credits. New GPA = 47.25 / 15 = 3.15. One 3-credit repair moves the semester GPA from 2.55 to 3.15, a gain of 0.60. That is the real value of a retake, and it is also why the retake rule matters so much: if TUB instead averaged both attempts, or counted both, the gain would be smaller. TUB has not published its retake rule, so treat the 3.15 as an illustration of the replacement reading, not as a promise. Confirm the rule before you pay a retake fee or plan around the result.

Worked Example 4: is your target CGPA still reachable?

One of the most practical uses of the CGPA formula is checking whether a target is still possible before you spend a semester chasing it. Suppose you have completed 66 credits with a CGPA of 3.05. That means you hold 66 x 3.05 = 201.30 grade points. You now plan 18 more credits, bringing your total to 84.

Target CGPA 3.25: you need 84 x 3.25 = 273.00 total points. You still need 273.00 – 201.30 = 71.70 new points from 18 credits, which is 71.70 / 18 = 3.9833 per credit. That is essentially a perfect semester of A+ grades, with almost no room for a single slip. Treat it as practically impossible and set a different target rather than burning a semester on it.

Target CGPA 3.20: you need 84 x 3.20 = 268.80 total points. You still need 268.80 – 201.30 = 67.50 new points, which is 67.50 / 18 = 3.75 per credit. That is exactly an A average across the whole next semester: hard, but possible, and it tells you precisely what “study harder” has to mean in numbers. This is the honest way to set semester goals: work backward from the target, and check the required average against the 4.00 ceiling before you commit to it.

GPA vs CGPA: the difference that confuses everyone

Semester GPA covers one semester only. CGPA covers everything. A single strong semester lifts your GPA a lot and your CGPA only a little, because the CGPA denominator includes all your past credits. That is why final-year students sometimes feel their CGPA “barely moves” even after a 3.80 semester: if you already hold 100 credits at 3.00, a 15-credit semester at 3.80 moves you to only (300.00 + 57.00) / 115 = 3.10. The arithmetic is not broken. It is just weighted, and early semesters are where a CGPA is made while late semesters are where it is defended.

The same UGC 4.00 scale runs at other Bangladeshi private universities, so the method in this guide transfers directly if you compare notes with friends elsewhere. For the same scale applied to other universities, see the guides for Fareast International University, Sylhet International University, Notre Dame University Bangladesh, German University Bangladesh and CCN University of Science and Technology. But be careful with the comparison: a shared scale does not mean shared rules. Retake, probation and graduation rules differ by university, and TUB’s unpublished rules are flagged in the next section rather than borrowed from any of those guides.

UNVERIFIED: rules TUB has not published online

This section is deliberately blunt. A guide that invents rules is worse than a guide that admits gaps, because a wrong assumption about a retake or a graduation rule can cost a student a semester. TUB’s programme pages found for this guide publish the grade table, the marks split, credit totals and admission floors. They do NOT publish the following. Confirm each one with your department handbook or the Registrar before you act on it:

• Retake and repeat rule. Does TUB allow retaking a passed course for grade improvement, or only failed courses? Does the new grade replace the old one in the CGPA, or do both attempts count? Is there a fee, and a limit on attempts? Peer norm at other Bangladeshi private universities: an F must be repeated, and some allow improvement retakes for C, D or F grades with fees. That norm is NOT a TUB rule.
• F in the GPA divisor. Do failed credits stay in the divisor at 0.00, or are they excluded? Peer norm: they stay in, and this guide’s examples use that reading. Confirm it with your department.
• Graduation CGPA floor. TUB does not publish a minimum CGPA for graduation on the pages found here. Peer norm: 2.00 on the 4.00 scale is the common minimum degree CGPA at Bangladeshi private universities. Do not assume it applies at TUB until your handbook confirms it.
• Probation and warning. TUB does not publish a probation threshold. Peer norm: a CGPA below 2.00 triggers probation or warning at many universities. Again, that is a norm, not a TUB rule.
• Dean’s List and honours. TUB does not publish a Dean’s List or honours threshold on the pages found here. A 3.75 line is common elsewhere, but it is not a TUB rule and this guide does not present it as one.
• Minimum attendance percentage. TUB publishes attendance as 10 marks of the course total, not as a percentage threshold for sitting exams. Other universities commonly require 70% to 80% attendance to sit finals. That is not a TUB rule on the evidence found here.
• Incomplete (I) and Withdrawal (W) grades. TUB’s published table lists only A+ to F. If you face illness or an emergency mid-semester, ask your department what notation applies and what deadline governs it, rather than assuming an I or W exists at TUB.

If your department handbook contradicts anything in this guide, your handbook wins for your programme. This guide is built from TUB’s public pages, and a handbook is more specific than a website.

Common mistakes TUB students make

• Using the US scale. A = 4.00, A- = 3.67 and B+ = 3.33 belong to American universities. At TUB, A = 3.75, A- = 3.50 and B+ = 3.25. One wrong scale and every grade except B and F is wrong.
• Averaging semester GPAs instead of weighting by credits. Example 2 proves the error: the true CGPA is 3.30, the lazy average says 3.31. The error grows with uneven credit loads.
• Entering percentages into a calculator that expects letter grades. Convert 79% to A first. A calculator cannot know which band your marks fall in unless you tell it.
• Ignoring the 60 pre-final marks. Assignment, attendance, presentation and mid-term together outweigh the final exam. A student who starts studying in finals week has already capped their grade.
• Treating a D as a fail. D at 2.00 is a pass and earns the credit. Retaking a passed D without checking whether TUB allows improvement retakes wastes a fee and a semester slot.
• Assuming a 79 will be rounded to 80. The published bands are strict: 79 is an A, 80 is an A+. If you believe a mark was added up wrongly, ask about a re-total through the proper channel instead of assuming a rounding rule that is not published.
• Converting CGPA to percentage with CGPA x 25. That multiplier is a rough guess used in some Bangladeshi contexts, not a TUB-published formula. TUB publishes no conversion formula. When a job or visa form asks for a percentage, use the number on your transcript or ask the Registrar for the official conversion, and never invent one.
• Leaving a failed course out of the calculation. Until your department tells you in writing that TUB excludes F credits from the divisor, count the F at 0.00. The conservative reading cannot flatter your result.

Tips for raising your TUB CGPA

• Protect the 60 pre-final marks first. Submit every assignment, attend every class, and treat the presentation and mid-term as seriously as the final. Those marks are the cheapest grade points you will ever earn.
• Prioritise heavy courses. A 3-credit course moves your GPA three times as much as a 1-credit course. Put your best study hours where the credits are.
• Fix a weak CGPA early. Example 4 shows why: once 66 credits are banked, even a perfect semester barely moves the CGPA. The cheapest time to repair a CGPA is the semester right after the damage.
• Plan with the backward calculation. Before registration, work out the semester average your target CGPA requires. If it is above 4.00, the target is impossible next semester: pick a reachable target and a longer timeline.
• Keep a running spreadsheet. One row per course, with credits, grade, grade point and their product. You will never need to reconstruct a CGPA from memory at graduation time, and you can test the effect of a coming semester before you register for it.
• Confirm the unpublished rules in writing. Retake, F divisor, graduation floor and probation rules are worth one email to your department. A written answer beats a senior’s memory, and it protects you if a transcript ever disagrees with your calculation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the grading system at Times University Bangladesh?

TUB grades on the UGC uniform 4.00 scale, published on its own programme pages: A+ 4.00 for 80% and above, A 3.75 for 75% to less than 80%, A- 3.50, B+ 3.25, B 3.00, B- 2.75, C+ 2.50, C 2.25, D 2.00 for 40% to less than 45%, and F 0.00 for below 40%.

What is the pass mark at TUB?

40% marks. A D at 2.00 is the lowest passing grade and earns the course credit. Anything below 40% is an F worth 0.00 and earns no credit.

How do I calculate my TUB GPA?

Multiply each course’s grade point by its credit hours, add all the products, and divide by your total credits. For one semester that is your GPA; for all semesters completed so far, that is your CGPA. Worked Example 1 gives 52.50 / 15 = 3.50, and the homepage calculator does the same arithmetic on the UGC Bangladesh scale.

Is 79% an A+ at TUB?

No. On TUB’s published table, 79% is an A worth 3.75. You need 80% or above for an A+ worth 4.00. The bands are strict, and one mark costs 0.25 grade points on that course.

What happens if I fail a course at TUB?

You earn no credit for that course. TUB’s public pages do not publish whether the failed course’s credits stay in the GPA divisor or whether a retake replaces the old grade, so confirm both with your department. Under the common peer practice used in this guide’s examples, the F counts at 0.00 in the divisor, and a retake that replaces an F with a B on a 3-credit course would lift a 2.55 semester GPA to 3.15.

What CGPA do I need to graduate from TUB?

TUB does not publish a graduation CGPA floor on the programme pages found for this guide, so this guide does not state one. The common floor at other Bangladeshi private universities is 2.00 on the 4.00 scale, but that is a peer norm, not a TUB rule. Confirm your programme’s requirement with your department handbook or the Registrar.

Can I use the CGPAPro calculator for TUB grades?

Yes. There is no dedicated TUB calculator page on this site, but the free calculator on the CGPAPro homepage uses the same UGC Bangladesh 4.00 scale that TUB publishes, so its grade points match TUB’s table exactly. Select the UGC Bangladesh scale, enter your credits and letter grades, and check one semester by hand against Worked Example 1 before trusting the tool.

Conclusion

Times University Bangladesh gives its students an unusually clear starting point: the grade table, the marks split and the credit totals are all published on its own website, and they all follow the national UGC uniform scale. An A+ is 4.00 at 80% and above, a D at 2.00 is a pass at 40%, and an F at 0.00 is the only grade that earns nothing. The arithmetic is simple once you weight by credits: grade point times credits, added up, divided by total credits, for one semester or for your whole degree.

What makes the difference between students is not the formula but the facts around it. Sixty marks are decided before the final exam. One mark at a band boundary costs 0.25 grade points. A failed course costs the full 2.00 step, not a quarter step. And several important rules, retakes, the F divisor, the graduation floor, probation and Dean’s List, are not published on TUB’s public pages, so the careful student confirms them in writing instead of assuming them. Use the calculator for speed, check one semester by hand for truth, and keep your own running record of every course. Your transcript is the final authority on your grades, and this guide exists so that when it arrives, none of its numbers surprise you.
