Beaconhouse National University (BNU) GPA Calculator

Beaconhouse National University follows the internationally recognised letter-grade system on a 4.00 scale. In most theory courses grades are awarded on a relative basis — a student's letter grade reflects both the marks obtained and their relative position within the course, not a fixed absolute cut-off.

Some course types are graded on an Absolute Scale instead: projects, internships and thesis work, and any course with fewer than 20 students enrolled after the withdrawal date. The letter grades, their grade points, and the equivalent percentage ranges BNU publishes are shown in the Grade Scale Reference on this page.

BNU reports a Grade Point Average (GPA) for each semester and a Cumulative GPA (CGPA) across all semesters completed. The CGPA is a credit-weighted average: each course's grade point is multiplied by its credit hours, and the total is divided by the total credit hours attempted, so higher-credit courses weigh more.

• The grades I (Incomplete), W and W* (Withdrawn), and P/F (Pass/Fail) carry no numeric value and are excluded from the GPA.
• Transfer credits from another institution are not counted toward the BNU GPA, though they may count toward degree requirements after review by the University Equivalence Committee.
• When a course is repeated, the repeat grade replaces the original in the GPA and is marked with an asterisk (*) on the transcript.

A student is placed on Academic Probation when their CGPA falls below the required minimum — 2.00 for a Bachelor's degree, or 2.50 for an MA/MS/M.Phil. degree.

A student who receives two consecutive probations in the first year, or three consecutive probations in subsequent years, is automatically removed from the university's rolls. Students of the schools of art/design (MDSVAD) and architecture (RHSA) are placed on probation or removed under their own gating policies.

The minimum requirement for the award of a degree is a CGPA of 2.00 (on the 4.00 scale) for an undergraduate degree and a CGPA of 2.50 for a Master's degree. Each School certifies its eligible students to the Examinations Department for the award of degrees.

Where a thesis is required, the minimum passing grade is C for a Bachelor's degree and C+ for an MS/M.Phil. degree.

Students with excellent academic performance in a semester are placed on the Dean's Honour List. The criterion is the same for undergraduate and Master's students: a GPA of 3.50 in the semester while carrying the full prescribed workload. A student who receives an Incomplete (I) grade is not eligible.

A Gold Medal is awarded to the student with the highest CGPA in each degree programme, provided the graduating batch has at least 10 students (undergraduate) or 5 (MS/M.Phil.). Eligibility also requires a minimum CGPA of 3.80 where the cohort's average CGPA is 3.25 or above, or 3.65 where it is below 3.25, with no F grade, no repeated course, and no disciplinary warning on record.

Credits transferred from another institution are not counted toward your BNU GPA. They may, however, be considered toward the credit-hour requirements for your degree after an evaluation by the University Equivalence Committee.
