How grading works at Ghazi University
Ghazi University uses absolute grading with four passing grades: A, B, C and D. F is the failing grade. The rules come from the Ghazi University, Dera Ghazi Khan, Statutes and Regulations, 2021
for first-degree courses such as BS, B.Sc. (Hons) and BBA.
Unlike universities where every B is worth the same, Ghazi University gives quality points mark by mark. Each credit hour of a course is worth 20 marks, so a 3-credit course is marked out of 60. The official quality point table then gives a slightly higher number of points for every extra mark you get, up to 80%. That is why this calculator asks for your marks instead of just your letter grade.
Ghazi University grade and quality point table
| Grade | Marks | Grade points per credit hour |
|---|---|---|
| A | 80% – 100% | 4.00 |
| B | 65% – 79% | 3.00 – 3.93 |
| C | 50% – 64% | 2.00 – 2.93 |
| D | 40% – 49% | 1.00 – 1.90 |
| F | Below 40% | 0.00 |
Inside each grade the points follow the official table step by step:
- 40% to 50%: 1.00 point at 40%, plus 0.10 for every extra 1%. So 45% is 1.50.
- 50% to 80%: 2.00 points at 50%, plus 1/15 of a point for every extra 1%. So 55% is 2.33, 65% is 3.00 and 70% is 3.33.
- 80% and above: always 4.00.
Your quality points for a course are its credit hours × these grade points. For example, 45 out of 60 in a 3-credit course is 75%, which gives 3.67 × 3 = 11.00 quality points, exactly as in the official table.
How to calculate your Ghazi University GPA: worked example
This is the example given in the Statutes and Regulations 2021:
| Course | Credits | Marks | Grade | Quality points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Course I | 2 | 32 / 40 (80%) | A | 8.00 |
| Course II | 3 | 45 / 60 (75%) | B | 11.00 |
| Course III | 3 | 48 / 60 (80%) | A | 12.00 |
| Course IV | 3 | 38 / 60 (63.3%) | C | 8.67 |
| Course V | 2 | 28 / 40 (70%) | B | 6.67 |
| Total | 13 | 46.34 |
GPA = 46.34 ÷ 13 = 3.56
Your CGPA works the same way across all semesters: add up the quality points of every semester and divide by the total credit hours. The CGPA tab does this from your semester GPAs.
Calculator tip: if your result card shows quality points instead of marks, switch to Grade points and type the quality points ÷ credit hours. For Course II above, that is 11.00 ÷ 3 = 3.67.
Good standing, probation and minimum CGPA
- First semester: you need a GPA of at least 1.00 to be promoted to the second semester.
- Second semester onwards: if your CGPA falls below 1.50, you are dropped from the rolls of the university. You can be re-admitted once, in the first semester of the next session.
- To get your degree you need a CGPA of at least 2.20 with no F grade.
- CGPA between 1.90 and 2.20 after the 8th semester: if you have not repeated any course, you may repeat some of your lowest-grade courses once to reach 2.20.
The Target tab shows the GPA you need in your remaining semesters to reach 2.20 or any other CGPA.
Repeating a course and improving a D grade
- If you get an F, you must repeat the course when it is offered again.
- If you get a D, you may repeat the course once to improve it. Courses passed with A, B or C cannot be repeated.
- You can repeat or improve at most six courses (18 credit hours) in your whole degree, and not more than one course per Fall or Spring semester.
- The improved grade replaces the F or D in your CGPA, but the old grade still appears on your transcript.
Calculator tip: for a repeated course, enter only your new, better marks.
Ghazi University CGPA to percentage
The Statutes and Regulations 2021 do not include a formula for turning CGPA into a percentage. The Percentage tab reads the official quality point table backwards to show the average marks your CGPA stands for:
- CGPA 2.00 to 3.99: percentage = 50 + (CGPA − 2) × 15. So 3.56 is about 73.4%.
- CGPA 1.00 to 1.99: percentage = 40 + (CGPA − 1) × 10.
- CGPA 4.00: 80% or more.
Because this is not an official university formula, check which method an employer or university accepts before you use it on a form.

From the second semester onwards, a CGPA below 1.50 means you are dropped from the rolls. In the first semester you need a GPA of at least 1.00 to be promoted.

Yes. You can repeat a D-grade course once. The better grade is used in your CGPA, but the D still appears on your transcript. You can repeat or improve at most six courses (18 credit hours) in the whole degree.
How do I convert my Ghazi University CGPA to a percentage?
There is no official formula in the Statutes and Regulations 2021. Reading the quality point table backwards, a CGPA from 2.00 to 3.99 equals 50 + (CGPA − 2) × 15, so 3.56 is about 73.4%. Check which method the employer or university accepts.
My result shows marks out of 60, not a percentage. What do I enter?
Divide your marks by the course total and multiply by 100. Each credit hour is worth 20 marks, so 45 out of 60 in a 3-credit course is 75%.
