UMT GPA & CGPA calculator
Built on UMT's own grade-point scale — A and A+ are 4.0, A- is 3.7, down to D at 1.0 and F at 0 — this reports your UMT semester GPA and cumulative CGPA. The Bachelor pass mark is 50% (60% for Master and above), and the D grade exists only for Bachelor programmes. UMT grades relative to the class, so enter the grade point each course earned. A planner also shows the semester GPA needed to reach a target CGPA.

Failing grades still count toward attempted credit hours at UMT, 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. UMT uses relative grading, so a grade reflects your class ranking and there are no fixed percentage cut-offs — the bands here are indicative only. The grade points are official; the Bachelor pass mark is 50%. Enter the grade points from your UMT result card for an exact CGPA.
UMT grading scale used here
| Grade | Percentage | Grade point |
|---|---|---|
| A | 85–100% | 4.00 |
| A- | 80–85% | 3.70 |
| B+ | 75–80% | 3.30 |
| B | 71–75% | 3.00 |
| B- | 68–71% | 2.70 |
| C+ | 64–68% | 2.30 |
| C | 61–64% | 2.00 |
| C- | 58–61% | 1.70 |
| 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
- Using a D grade for a Master, MS or PhD course — at UMT the D grade exists only for Bachelor programmes.
- Applying the 50% pass mark to a postgraduate course, where UMT requires 60%.
- Treating the percentage bands as fixed, when UMT grades relative to the class.
- Reading A- as 3.67 — UMT's official grade point for A- is 3.7.
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.
