Pakistan's first distance learning university.
Enter your subjects, credit hours, and select grades to calculate your semester GPA
VU uses a modified scale with A+ grade and lower percentage boundaries. As Pakistan's first distance learning university, VU has its own unique assessment approach.
CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is a grading system used by Pakistani universities (following HEC guidelines) to evaluate a student's overall academic performance across all completed semesters.
Unlike a simple percentage, CGPA uses a weighted average that accounts for the credit hours of each course. CGPA is calculated on a 4.0 scale where 4.0 is the highest achievable score.
Your CGPA determines scholarship eligibility, Dean's List recognition, graduation honors, and is a key factor for employers and graduate school admissions.
Semester GPA (SGPA) is your Grade Point Average for a single semester. It reflects your academic performance in the courses you took during that specific term.
Credit hours represent the weight assigned to each course. They indicate hours of instruction per week throughout the semester.
CGPA = Total Quality Points ÷ Total Credit Hours. Quality Points = Grade Point × Credit Hours for each course.
Most Pakistani universities require a minimum CGPA of 2.0 for undergraduate and 2.5 for graduate programs.
Percentage = (CGPA ÷ 4.0) × 100. A CGPA of 3.5 equals approximately 87.5%.
HEC provides standard guidelines, but universities like FAST, NUST, and VU have slight variations in percentage ranges.
