Bahria University (BU) GPA Calculator

Bahria University uses an absolute grading system for its Bachelors programmes: each course grade is fixed by the marks percentage a student scores, against published cut-offs rather than the class distribution. The letter grades run from A down to F with plus and minus shades (A−, B+, B−, C+, C−, D+), on a 0.00–4.00 grade-point scale — the full letter-to-marks-to-grade-point mapping is shown in the Grade Scale Reference on this page.

The minimum passing grade for an undergraduate course is D (50%); below 50% is an F and earns no credit. Attendance matters too: a student must attend at least 75% of contact hours in a course, or they are barred from the final examination and awarded an F. Postgraduate programmes (MBA/MS/MPhil/PhD) use the same scale but reckon F below 60% and drop the C−, D+ and D grades.

Your GPA is the credit-hour-weighted average of grade points for a single semester — the sum of (credit hours × grade point) for each course divided by the total credit hours taken. The CGPA applies the same formula cumulatively across every credit course from admission to the last examination, so courses with more credit hours weigh more heavily.

• A W (Withdrawn) grade carries no grade point and is not counted in the GPA/CGPA.
• An undergraduate may take up to 9 credit-hours of electives on a Pass/Fail basis; these do not count toward GPA/CGPA and the choice, once made at registration, cannot be changed.
• When a course is repeated, every attempt stays on the transcript but only the highest grade is used in the CGPA.

A student is placed on Probation in any semester where they fail to reach the minimum CGPA (or first-semester GPA) for their programme:

• 2.00 — Associate Degree, BBA, BEE and BS (undergraduate) programmes
• 2.50 — MBA, MS and MPhil programmes
• 3.00 — PhD programmes

Each probation triggers a formal warning letter from the HoD. A student who fails to attain the minimum CGPA in the semester immediately after two consecutive probations is Dropped from the programme. A student who lifts their CGPA back to the required minimum (summer session included) is taken off probation and the probation count resets to zero.

To graduate, a student must complete the prescribed credit hours for their programme and maintain at least the minimum CGPA for their standing — 2.00 for undergraduate Bachelors programmes (2.50 for MBA/MS/MPhil, 3.00 for PhD). Degree requirements must be finished within the maximum programme duration:

• Four-year programmes — 6 years (extendable by one year with the Rector's approval); Engineering — 7 years, non-extendable.
• Five-year programmes — 7.5 years (extendable by one year).
• 1.5 / 2-year MS/MPhil/MBA — 3 years (extendable by one year).

Bahria University awards Latin honours on the final CGPA, provided the graduate met the baseline eligibility (completed within the regular duration, full semester load, no withdrawn or repeated courses, no migration/credit transfer, minimum 3.60 CGPA, and a clean disciplinary record):

Gold and Silver medals go to the first- and second-highest CGPA in a graduating batch. Each semester, students with a CGPA of 3.90 or above are named to the Rector's Honours List.

A student joining a new programme or campus may receive Transfer of Credit (TOC) for equivalent courses already passed at Bahria or another HEC-recognised university — but only where the grade earned was at least C+ (a minimum of B for MS/MPhil and PhD). Migration into Bahria is allowed only if the applicant's CGPA on the Bahria scale is above 2.5 for BS (3.0 for MBA) programmes.

Credits granted by Exemption are not counted toward the degree's CGPA, and any migration, credit transfer or summer-semester course makes a graduate ineligible for academic honours and awards.
