Quick Answer: How the University of Scholars Grades Work
Quick answer: The University of Scholars (IUS), a private university in Banani, Dhaka, grades on a 4.00 scale. The university itself does not publish its own letter-grade table on its public website, so this guide uses the national reference that applies across Bangladeshi universities: the University Grants Commission (UGC) uniform grading system. On that scale, A+ is 4.00 for 80 percent and above, A is 3.75 for 75 to below 80 percent, A- is 3.50 for 70 to below 75 percent, B+ is 3.25 for 65 to below 70 percent, B is 3.00 for 60 to below 65 percent, B- is 2.75 for 55 to below 60 percent, C+ is 2.50 for 50 to below 55 percent, C is 2.25 for 45 to below 50 percent, D is 2.00 for 40 to below 45 percent, and F is 0.00 for below 40 percent.
Your semester GPA is the credit-weighted average of your grade points: multiply each course grade point by its credit hours, add up all the quality points, and divide by your total credit hours. Your CGPA uses the same formula across every semester you have completed. That single rule explains almost every CGPA question students ask, from “what happens if I fail one course” to “what grades do I need next semester to reach 3.50.”
One honest warning before you use any number in this guide: the grade table below is the verified national UGC reference, not a table copied from the University of Scholars website, because the university does not publish one publicly. Every university-specific rule that students usually ask about – retakes, probation, the graduation CGPA floor, Dean’s List, attendance cutoffs, rounding, and how an F counts in the denominator – is flagged UNVERIFIED in this guide, with the Registrar contact at the end of that section so you can confirm it in one email. Do not treat any of those rules as confirmed until the university confirms them.
Check Your GPA With the Calculator
The fastest way to use this guide is to calculate as you read. Open the free GPA calculator on the CGPA Calculator Pro homepage, add one row per course, pick the letter grade from the UGC table in this guide, enter the credit hours for each course, and read your semester GPA instantly. Add a second semester the same way and you have your CGPA.
Two setup tips save most students from a wrong result. First, enter the grade point from the UGC table in this guide, not from a different university’s scale: several private universities in Bangladesh use an A = 4.00 scale with 90 percent at the top, and mixing those points into a UGC-scale calculation silently changes your answer. Second, enter every course you registered for, including any course you failed. Leaving an F out of the calculator is the single most common reason a student’s self-calculated CGPA is higher than the transcript figure, and Worked Example 2 below shows exactly how big that gap is.
Which University Is This? Avoiding the Name Traps
“University of Scholars” is easy to confuse with other institutions, and confusing them is how wrong grade tables end up in guides. This guide is about one specific university only: the private university at 40 Kemal Ataturk Avenue, Banani, Dhaka-1213, whose official website is ius.edu.bd. It was formerly called The International University of Scholars, and the UGC approved the name change to University of Scholars in 2024. Its short name, IUS, still appears all over its own website, which is why older pages and admission posts still say “IUS.”
Do not mix this university up with any of these. Indiana University Southeast in the United States also uses the initials IUS, and its grading and retake policies have nothing to do with Dhaka. The International University of Science and Renaissance, whose examination rules circulate online under a similar name, is a different institution with a different system, including a 60 percent pass mark that does not belong to the University of Scholars. And “University of Scholars” admission help-desk pages on social media are third-party advertisers, not the university itself. When a rule matters for your transcript, check it against ius.edu.bd or the Registrar, not against a lookalike institution or an admission agent’s post.
The basic facts about the university itself are well documented. It received UGC approval dated December 29, 2015, and is listed as the 83rd university approved by the UGC. It started in 2015 with a campus at Badda and five departments, moved to Banani in 2021, and now runs programs including BBA, BA in English, BSc in CSE, BSc in EEE, BSc in Textile Engineering, MBA, and EMBA. Its contact details, published on its own site, are info@ius.edu.bd and +88 01844 075 476.
What the University Actually Publishes About Grading
Here is the important research finding behind this guide: as of October 30, 2026, the University of Scholars does not publish a letter-grade table, a GPA formula, or an academic regulations page on its public website. Searches across ius.edu.bd program pages, its about and accreditation pages, and the wider web turn up program descriptions, admission requirements, and faculty profiles, but no grade-point table. That absence is itself useful information, because it explains why students keep asking the same questions online and why no competitor guide for this university exists yet.
What the university does publish is how a course mark is built, at least for its Executive MBA. The EMBA program page gives a full evaluation breakdown: class attendance 10 percent, class tests 10 percent, case presentations and assignments 10 percent, mid-term tests 30 percent, and the final examination 40 percent, totalling 100 percent. That breakdown is verified from the university’s own site and is the only course-evaluation split this guide can attribute to the university directly. It is published for the EMBA program, so do not assume every department uses the identical split; the CSE or English departments may weight components differently, and that is a question for your department office.
The university also publishes program credit totals that help you sanity-check your own CGPA math. The EMBA is a 48-credit program. The BA (Hons) in English runs 8 regular semesters and requires 127 credits in total under its UGC-approved curriculum: 120 credits of core courses, a 4-credit thesis, and 3 credits of viva voce examinations. Admission to the BBA and BA in English requires a GPA of at least 2.50 or 2nd Division in both SSC and HSC, or at least 2.00 in one of them with a combined total of at least 6.00. Those admission figures are on the 5.00 school scale, not the 4.00 university scale, so do not mix them into your CGPA calculation.
The Grade Table to Use: The UGC Uniform 4.00 Scale
Because the university publishes no table of its own, the correct reference is the UGC uniform grading system, recommended for all public and private universities in Bangladesh with effect from the 2006-2007 session. The UGC document sets out one table, and it is the same table used by the majority of Bangladeshi universities. Use it for your calculations, and confirm it against your own transcript: your transcript shows letter grades and grade points, and if your transcript’s points match this table, you have your confirmation.
| Marks (percent) | Letter grade | Grade point | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 and above | A+ | 4.00 | Outstanding |
| 75 to less than 80 | A | 3.75 | Excellent |
| 70 to less than 75 | A- | 3.50 | Very good |
| 65 to less than 70 | B+ | 3.25 | Good |
| 60 to less than 65 | B | 3.00 | Above average |
| 55 to less than 60 | B- | 2.75 | Average |
| 50 to less than 55 | C+ | 2.50 | Below average |
| 45 to less than 50 | C | 2.25 | Pass |
| 40 to less than 45 | D | 2.00 | Marginal pass |
| Less than 40 | F | 0.00 | Fail |
Three things about this table trip students up. First, there is no grade between D and F: a mark of 39 percent is an F, not a lower pass. Second, the bands are “to less than” bands, so 79.9 percent is an A, not an A+, and 74.9 percent is an A-, not an A. Third, this table is not the same as the scale used by some well-known private universities, where A starts at 90 percent and A- is 3.67. If a friend at another university tells you their scale, do not import it into your calculation.
The UGC table is cross-checked in this guide against two published tables that reproduce it exactly: the UGC uniform grading document itself, and the published academic rules of comparable Bangladeshi universities that follow the UGC system, which print the identical marks bands and grade points. That double check matters because many calculator sites on the web quietly use the other, stricter private-university scale, and students who use those sites get a CGPA that does not match their transcript.
How Marks Become Letter Grades
Your course mark is built up across the semester and then converted once, at the end, into a letter grade. For the EMBA, the published split is attendance 10, class tests 10, case presentations and assignments 10, mid-term 30, and final 40. A student who scores, for example, 8 out of 10 for attendance, 7 out of 10 for class tests, 8 out of 10 for presentations and assignments, 24 out of 30 for the mid-term, and 30 out of 40 for the final ends up with 77 out of 100. On the UGC table, 77 percent is an A worth 3.75 grade points.
Notice what that example teaches. The final exam is the single biggest component at 40 percent, but it is not the whole story: the 30 percent of continuous assessment before the final is worth almost as much as the final itself. A student who ignores class tests and presentations and then tries to rescue the course in the final has already given away up to 30 percent of the mark. Attendance also carries real weight in the EMBA split, at 10 percent, which is a stronger reason to attend class than a vague attendance rule nobody can quote.
For programs other than the EMBA, the component split is UNVERIFIED, because the university has not published it. Your course outline at the start of the semester is the document that settles it for your course: it should state the weight of each component. If your outline does not state the split, ask your course teacher in the first two weeks, while you can still act on the answer, rather than after the mid-term when the marks are already banked.
The GPA Formula, Step by Step
The formula is the same for a semester GPA and for a CGPA; only the set of courses changes. For one semester, take every course in that semester. For a CGPA, take every course you have completed so far.
GPA = (sum of grade point x credit hours for each course) / (sum of credit hours)
Work through it in four steps. Step one: convert each course mark to a letter grade using the UGC table, then to its grade point. Step two: multiply each grade point by that course’s credit hours to get its quality points. Step three: add up all the quality points, and separately add up all the credit hours. Step four: divide total quality points by total credit hours. Round the result to two decimal places, which is how transcripts normally display it. The rounding rule itself is UNVERIFIED for this university, but two-decimal display is the standard practice across Bangladeshi transcripts, and it is what the calculator shows.
Credit hours are the weights in the formula, and that is why they matter so much. A 3-credit course counts three times as much as a 1-credit lab course. Two students with the same letter grades can have different GPAs if their credit loads differ, and a single A in a 3-credit course moves your GPA more than an A in a 1-credit course. When you plan a semester, that weighting should shape where you put your effort.
Worked Example 1: A Strong CSE Semester (GPA 3.40)
Take a CSE student in one semester with five courses. Data Structures: grade A, 3.75 points, 3 credits. Digital Logic: grade B+, 3.25 points, 3 credits. Mathematics III: grade A-, 3.50 points, 3 credits. English: grade B, 3.00 points, 3 credits. Physics Lab: grade A, 3.75 points, 1 credit.
Quality points, course by course: Data Structures 3.75 x 3 = 11.25. Digital Logic 3.25 x 3 = 9.75. Mathematics III 3.50 x 3 = 10.50. English 3.00 x 3 = 9.00. Physics Lab 3.75 x 1 = 3.75. Add them up: 11.25 + 9.75 = 21.00; 21.00 + 10.50 = 31.50; 31.50 + 9.00 = 40.50; 40.50 + 3.75 = 44.25 total quality points. Total credits: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 1 = 13. GPA = 44.25 / 13 = 3.4038, which rounds to 3.40.
Check the result against intuition. Three of the five courses are A-range, one is B+, one is B, so a GPA just above 3.40 feels right: it sits between the B+ value of 3.25 and the A- value of 3.50. If your calculator gives you something far outside that range for a similar set of grades, you have probably entered a wrong grade point or a wrong credit number, and the worked arithmetic above shows you how to find the error row by row.
Worked Example 2: What an F Really Costs (GPA 2.45, Not 3.06)
Now take a BBA student with five 3-credit courses. Marketing: B, 3.00 points. Accounting: C+, 2.50 points. Management: A-, 3.50 points. Finance: F, 0.00 points. Business Law: B+, 3.25 points.
Quality points: Marketing 3.00 x 3 = 9.00. Accounting 2.50 x 3 = 7.50. Management 3.50 x 3 = 10.50. Finance 0.00 x 3 = 0.00. Business Law 3.25 x 3 = 9.75. Total quality points: 9.00 + 7.50 = 16.50; 16.50 + 10.50 = 27.00; 27.00 + 0.00 = 27.00; 27.00 + 9.75 = 36.75. Total credits: 15. GPA = 36.75 / 15 = 2.45.
Here is the trap. If the student drops the failed Finance course from the calculation, the total stays 36.75 but the credits fall to 12, and 36.75 / 12 = 3.0625, which rounds to 3.06. That 3.06 is wrong, and the gap is large: 3.06 – 2.45 = 0.61 of a grade point. Under the standard credit-weighted formula, an F contributes 0 quality points but its credits still count in the denominator, so it drags the GPA down hard. Whether the University of Scholars follows that standard treatment of F credits is UNVERIFIED from its own publications, and you should confirm it with the Registrar, but every comparable Bangladeshi university using the UGC system counts the F credits in the denominator, and you should calculate on that basis until the university tells you otherwise.
Worked Example 3: CGPA Across Three Semesters (CGPA 3.38)
CGPA is not the simple average of your semester GPAs. It is the credit-weighted average, so a semester with more credits pulls harder. Take a student with three semesters. Semester 1: GPA 3.20 over 15 credits. Semester 2: GPA 3.55 over 15 credits. Semester 3: GPA 3.40 over 18 credits.
Multiply each semester GPA by its credits: Semester 1 gives 3.20 x 15 = 48.00. Semester 2 gives 3.55 x 15 = 53.25. Semester 3 gives 3.40 x 18 = 61.20. Add the quality points: 48.00 + 53.25 = 101.25; 101.25 + 61.20 = 162.45. Add the credits: 15 + 15 + 18 = 48. CGPA = 162.45 / 48 = 3.384375, which rounds to 3.38.
Compare that with the naive average of the three GPAs: (3.20 + 3.55 + 3.40) / 3 = 10.15 / 3 = 3.3833, which rounds to 3.38 as well in this case, but only because the credit loads are close. When semesters carry very different credit loads, the naive average and the true CGPA diverge, and the transcript figure is always the credit-weighted one. The safe habit is to enter every course individually in the calculator rather than averaging semester GPAs by hand.
Worked Example 4: Planning Your Next Semester (What Average Do You Need?)
The same formula works backwards, and that is where it becomes a planning tool. Suppose you have completed 60 credits with a CGPA of 3.10. Your quality points so far are 3.10 x 60 = 186.00. You plan to take 18 credits next semester and want to reach a CGPA of 3.25.
After next semester you will have 60 + 18 = 78 credits. To hold a CGPA of 3.25 across 78 credits you need total quality points of 3.25 x 78 = 253.50. You already have 186.00, so next semester must add 253.50 – 186.00 = 67.50 quality points. Divide by the 18 new credits: 67.50 / 18 = 3.75. So you need an A average, 3.75, across next semester’s 18 credits to lift your CGPA from 3.10 to 3.25 in one semester.
That answer is useful twice over. First, it tells you the goal is demanding but possible: an A average means mostly A grades with a few A- grades allowed. Second, the same backward math tells you when a goal is impossible, which saves you from chasing it. If the same student targeted 3.50 instead, the needed total would be 3.50 x 78 = 273.00, requiring 273.00 – 186.00 = 87.00 points from 18 credits, or 87.00 / 18 = 4.83, which is above the maximum of 4.00 and therefore impossible in one semester. A target like that needs two or more strong semesters, and knowing that early changes how you plan your course load.
Semester GPA vs CGPA: The Difference That Matters
Semester GPA covers one semester only. CGPA covers everything you have completed. Employers, scholarship committees, and graduate admission offices almost always ask for the CGPA, because it is the longer record. Your semester GPA still matters: it is the number that shows whether you are improving or slipping, and it is the number that usually triggers academic warnings when it falls.
The practical difference shows up in recovery speed. One bad semester hurts your CGPA less the more credits you already have banked, because the bad semester is a smaller share of the total. A first-semester student with one F has almost no good credits to dilute it, while a final-year student with 100 credits behind them absorbs the same F with a much smaller CGPA drop. That is also why early semesters deserve disproportionate effort: the grades you earn first set the base that every later semester has to move.
A related distinction students often miss is the school GPA on the 5.00 scale versus the university CGPA on the 4.00 scale. Your SSC and HSC results use the 5.00 scale, where A+ is 5.00. Your university transcript uses the 4.00 scale, where A+ is 4.00. Never average the two scales together, and never quote a school GPA of 5.00 as if it were a university CGPA. Admission pages for this university quote the 5.00 scale for SSC and HSC entry requirements, which is a separate number from anything on your university transcript.
How Your Course Mark Is Built Across the Semester
The one verified course-evaluation split at this university is the EMBA split: attendance 10 percent, class tests 10 percent, case presentations and assignments 10 percent, mid-term 30 percent, final 40 percent. If you are an EMBA student, that split is your planning map. Ten percent for attendance means full attendance alone is worth more than the gap between two adjacent letter grades in many cases. Ten percent each for class tests and presentations means the small assessments, which students often treat as optional, are worth a combined 20 percent before the mid-term even happens.
For other programs, treat the EMBA split as a likely pattern, not a promise. The university’s departments publish program descriptions and course lists, but the component weights for BBA, CSE, EEE, Textile, and English courses are UNVERIFIED. The document that settles your split is your course outline, handed out at the start of the semester. Read it in week one, note the weight of every component, and put the dates of the weighted assessments in your calendar before the semester gets busy. Students who discover the split in the final week have usually already lost the marks they needed.
One more general point: continuous assessment rewards steady work, and the students with the highest CGPAs are usually the ones who bank the small marks early. A mid-term worth 30 percent cannot be rescued by a brilliant final if the continuous marks are already low, because the final is only 40 percent of the total. Spread your effort across the semester in proportion to the weights, not in proportion to how much you fear each exam.
Retake, Probation, Graduation Floor and Dean’s List: Verified vs UNVERIFIED
This section is deliberately blunt, because inventing rules here would be worse than leaving them blank. The following table separates what this guide could verify from what it could not, after checking the university’s own website and the wider web.
| Rule | Status | What we know |
|---|---|---|
| UGC uniform grade table (A+ 4.00 down to F 0.00) | VERIFIED as national reference | Published by the UGC for all Bangladeshi universities; reproduced identically by comparable universities. Not published on ius.edu.bd itself. |
| EMBA course-evaluation split (10/10/10/30/40) | VERIFIED from ius.edu.bd | Published on the university’s EMBA program page. |
| EMBA 48 credits; BA English 127 credits | VERIFIED from ius.edu.bd | Published on the university’s program pages. |
| Retake and improvement rules | UNVERIFIED | Not found on ius.edu.bd. Do not assume a best-grade-counts or grade-replacement rule. |
| Probation threshold | UNVERIFIED | Not found on ius.edu.bd. Many Bangladeshi universities use CGPA 2.00 as a warning line, but that is not confirmed here. |
| Graduation CGPA floor | UNVERIFIED | Not found on ius.edu.bd. The common 2.00 floor elsewhere is not confirmed for this university. |
| Dean’s List or merit list cutoff | UNVERIFIED | Not found on ius.edu.bd. Do not quote a 3.50 or 3.75 cutoff for this university. |
| Attendance cutoff to sit exams | UNVERIFIED | Attendance carries 10 percent in the EMBA split, but a separate minimum-attendance bar is not published. |
| F credits in the GPA denominator | UNVERIFIED for this university | Standard UGC-system practice counts them; confirm with the Registrar before relying on it. |
| Rounding of GPA and CGPA | UNVERIFIED | Two-decimal display is standard practice; the university’s own rounding rule is not published. |
| Maximum time to complete a degree | UNVERIFIED | Not found on ius.edu.bd. |
To confirm any UNVERIFIED rule, contact the Registrar’s office through the university’s published channels: info@ius.edu.bd, +88 01844 075 476, or the campus at 40 Kemal Ataturk Avenue, Banani, Dhaka-1213. Ask for the academic regulations or student handbook, and ask specifically whether a written grading and retake policy exists for your program. If you receive one, keep a copy: it is the document that will settle every future dispute about your transcript.
Common Mistakes That Ruin a CGPA Calculation
First, using the wrong scale. The stricter private-university scale, where A is 4.00 at 90 percent and A- is 3.67, is common on calculator websites, and it gives different answers from the UGC table. If your transcript shows 3.75 for an A, you are on the UGC table, and any calculator using 3.67 for A- will mislead you.
Second, dropping failed courses from the calculation. As Worked Example 2 shows, dropping one F can inflate a semester GPA by more than 0.60. Enter every registered course, including failures, until the university confirms a different treatment in writing.
Third, averaging semester GPAs instead of weighting by credits. A 15-credit semester and an 18-credit semester do not count equally, and the naive average is wrong whenever credit loads differ.
Fourth, averaging letter grades as if they were numbers on a straight line. Grades are not evenly spaced in effort terms, and a B+ and a B- do not average to a B in credit-weighted math unless the credits match. Always convert to grade points first, then weight by credits.
Fifth, mixing the 5.00 school scale with the 4.00 university scale. Your SSC and HSC GPAs belong to a different system and have no place in a university CGPA calculation.
Sixth, trusting a lookalike institution’s rules. The 60 percent pass mark from another similarly named university, the retake policy of an American university sharing the IUS initials, and the scale of a friend’s university are all traps this guide has already seen in circulation. Your rules come from ius.edu.bd or the Registrar, nowhere else.
Tips to Protect and Raise Your CGPA
Bank the small marks first. In the verified EMBA split, attendance, class tests, and presentations together are 30 percent of the course mark, and they are the easiest marks to earn because they reward showing up and submitting work on time. Students who treat those components as free marks rarely regret it.
Front-load your effort in the first two semesters. Early grades set the base of your CGPA, and a strong base makes every later semester easier to manage. A 3.50 average in your first year is worth far more than the same average in your final year, because it has more semesters to dilute later slips.
Balance your credit load deliberately. A semester with five heavy 3-credit courses leaves no room for a weak subject, while spreading one difficult course into a lighter semester protects your average. Use the backward math from Worked Example 4 before registration: work out what average you need, then decide whether the load is realistic.
Check your transcript every semester, row by row, against your own calculation. If a grade point on the transcript differs from the UGC table, or a credit count differs from your registration, raise it with the program office immediately. Errors are far easier to fix in the semester they happen than two years later when you apply for graduation.
Before you retake or repeat any course, get the retake rule in writing. Because the university’s retake policy is UNVERIFIED, do not assume the new grade replaces the old one, and do not assume both grades count. A retake taken under the wrong assumption can cost a semester of fees and leave your CGPA unchanged.
Frequently Asked Questions
What grading scale does the University of Scholars use?
The university does not publish its own letter-grade table publicly. The correct reference is the UGC uniform 4.00 scale: A+ 4.00, A 3.75, A- 3.50, B+ 3.25, B 3.00, B- 2.75, C+ 2.50, C 2.25, D 2.00, and F 0.00. Confirm it against your transcript’s grade points, and ask the Registrar for the university’s own regulations if you need a citable document.
How do I calculate my CGPA at the University of Scholars?
Multiply each course grade point by its credit hours, add up all the quality points, and divide by your total credit hours, across all completed semesters. Use the CGPA Calculator Pro homepage calculator with the UGC grade points from this guide, and enter every course including any failed course.
What mark do I need to pass a course?
On the UGC table, D at 40 to below 45 percent is the lowest passing grade, and anything below 40 percent is an F. Whether the University of Scholars applies any additional per-course pass bar, such as a minimum final-exam mark, is UNVERIFIED, so check your course outline and confirm with your department.
Does an F count in my CGPA?
Under the standard credit-weighted formula used across the UGC system, yes: an F adds 0 quality points but its credits stay in the denominator, which is why one F can drop a semester GPA by more than 0.60, as shown in Worked Example 2. The university’s own written rule on this point is UNVERIFIED, so confirm it with the Registrar.
Can I retake a course to improve my CGPA?
That depends on a retake policy the university has not published. Do not assume the new grade replaces the old grade, and do not assume both grades count. Get the rule in writing from the Registrar or your program office before you register for a retake, and ask specifically how the retake appears on your transcript.
What CGPA do I need to graduate?
UNVERIFIED for this university. Many Bangladeshi universities set the graduation floor at 2.00, but that figure is not confirmed for the University of Scholars from its own publications. Ask the Registrar for the graduation requirement for your specific program, because floors can differ between undergraduate and graduate programs.
Is there a Dean’s List at the University of Scholars?
UNVERIFIED. No Dean’s List or merit-list cutoff was found on the university’s website. Other universities commonly use 3.50 or 3.75, but quoting either figure for this university would be guessing. If your department announces a list, the cutoff will be in that announcement, not in this guide.
Conclusion
The University of Scholars story, for grading purposes, is a short one with an honest gap in the middle. The university is real, UGC-approved, and based in Banani, Dhaka. It publishes how an EMBA course mark is built and how many credits its programs require, but it does not publish its own letter-grade table or its retake, probation, graduation, and Dean’s List rules. The UGC uniform 4.00 scale fills the table gap with a verified national reference, and the credit-weighted formula fills the calculation gap for every student. What remains is for each student to confirm the UNVERIFIED rules with the Registrar, using the contact details in this guide, and to calculate with the UGC points in the meantime.
Do that, and your CGPA will stop being a mystery number on a transcript. Enter every course, weight by credits, keep the F courses in the denominator until told otherwise in writing, and run the backward math before every registration so you know what average your goals actually require. For students comparing how other Bangladeshi private universities publish their rules, the International Standard University grading guide, the UITS grading guide, the UCTC grading guide, the Notre Dame University Bangladesh grading guide, and the Rajshahi Science and Technology University grading guide show what fully published university rules look like, and how much easier planning becomes when the rules are public.
