How grading works at AUP
The University of Agriculture, Peshawar (AUP) grades every course on an absolute percentage-marks basis: each course mark is converted into a letter grade and a grade point on the university's own 0.00–4.00 scale, set out in its Examination Regulations.
To pass a course, a student must score at least 50% in the theory component and 50% in the practical component separately — a shortfall in either part is not offset by a strong score in the other.

Probation, promotion and enrollment cancellation at AUP
A student must pass every course with at least a 'C' grade and maintain a GPA of 2.0 to be promoted to the next semester. At the end of the 2nd semester a student needs a minimum GPA of 2.0 and must have passed 50% of subjects, or is offered re-admission into the 1st semester of the following session. At the end of the 4th semester the same 2.0 floor applies alongside having passed 70% of registered subjects, failing which the student is barred from promotion.
A student who fails to reach the minimum 2.0 grade point in a semester is liable to have their enrollment cancelled, though readmission with the next year's class is allowed (the lost time still counts toward the maximum degree duration).
Separately, a student whose CGPA falls below 2.50 is given one chance to repeat up to three subjects already passed with a 'C' grade, specifically to raise the CGPA back to 2.50, within the maximum duration allowed for the degree.

Degree requirements at AUP
A degree is awarded once a candidate passes all prescribed examinations with a minimum CGPA of 2.00 and fulfills the program's other requirements. Bachelor degree programs run four years (8 semesters); the DVM program runs five years (10 semesters). A student who fails a course is given three further chances to clear it within the maximum degree duration, which may not exceed six years (12 semesters) in total.

Gold Medal at AUP
AUP's Gold Medal goes to the candidate who passes every course of a degree program on the first attempt and secures the highest grade point average, provided it is not below a 3.5 CGPA. If more than one student ties on CGPA, the medal is awarded on the basis of the higher percentage of marks obtained. A first attempt means every component — midterm, assignments, quizzes, term paper, practical and final exam — was completed on time and appears on the first award list submitted for that course; an incomplete or late-listed result counts as a second attempt and disqualifies the student from the medal for that course.
