COMSATS GPA & CGPA calculator
For current COMSATS (CUI) students: this works out your semester GPA and running CGPA from the grades on your result card, on the HEC grading scheme CUI adopted from Fall 2021. Because CUI grades many courses relatively, enter the grade point each course earned rather than a percentage. It also solves the reverse question students bookmark — the semester GPA needed to hit a target CGPA. Applicants computing an admission aggregate want the COMSATS merit page instead.

Failing grades still count toward attempted credit hours at COMSATS, which lowers the GPA even though no credit is earned.

How this calculation works
Every course contributes quality points, which are its grade point multiplied by its credit hours. Your GPA is the total quality points divided by the total credit hours you attempted. That weighting is why a 4-credit course moves your average roughly twice as much as a 2-credit one, and why a GPA is never a plain average of grade points.
- Non-credit and audit courses are excluded from both the top and bottom of the fraction.
- Failing grades still count toward attempted credit hours, so they lower the average even though they earn no credit.
Note on the grading scale. COMSATS uses relative grading for many courses, so the percentage bands here are indicative only. Enter the grade points printed on your CUI result card for an exact CGPA — that does not depend on the disputed bands.
COMSATS grading scale used here
| Grade | Percentage | Grade point |
|---|---|---|
| A | 85–100% | 4.00 |
| A- | 80–85% | 3.67 |
| B+ | 75–80% | 3.33 |
| B | 71–75% | 3.00 |
| B- | 68–71% | 2.67 |
| C+ | 64–68% | 2.33 |
| C | 61–64% | 2.00 |
| C- | 58–61% | 1.67 |
| D+ | 54–58% | 1.30 |
| D | 50–54% | 1.00 |
| F | 0–50% | 0.00 |
Minimum passing grade on this scale: D (1.00 grade points).
Formula
Quality points = grade point × credit hours
GPA = Σ quality points ÷ Σ attempted credit hours
Worked example
Three courses: a 3-credit course graded 3.70, a 4-credit course graded 3.00 and a 2-credit course graded 4.00.
- 3 × 3.70 = 11.10 quality points
- 4 × 3.00 = 12.00 quality points
- 2 × 4.00 = 8.00 quality points
- Total: 31.10 quality points over 9 credit hours
- GPA = 31.10 ÷ 9 = 3.46
Why your actual result may differ
Universities differ on percentage bands, on whether grading is absolute or relative to class performance, on how repeats are treated, and on which courses count toward a degree. Departments within one university can differ too. Your official transcript is always the authority.
Common mistakes
- Landing here as an applicant — admission aggregate is on the COMSATS merit page, not this GPA page.
- Reading the indicative percentage bands as fixed cut-offs, when CUI grades many courses relatively.
- Assuming the single-point grade table online matches CUI's HEC-range scheme, which it may not.
- Leaving an old attempt in the totals after a repeat, instead of letting the improved grade replace it.
Key terms
- GPA
- Grade Point Average — total quality points divided by total attempted credit hours for a single semester, on a scale that is usually 4.00.
- CGPA
- Cumulative Grade Point Average — the same calculation as GPA but across every completed semester, weighted by credit hours.
- Quality points
- A course's grade point multiplied by its credit hours. Summed across courses and divided by total credit hours, quality points produce the GPA.
- Credit hour
- A unit of a course's weight, usually reflecting one hour of lectures per week for a semester. Higher-credit courses affect the GPA more.
