Fatima Jinnah Women University (FJWU) GPA Calculator

FJWU uses an Absolute Grading System: every letter grade maps to a fixed marks band and grade point, effective Fall 2018. Grades run on a 0.00 to 4.00 scale, from A (85% and above, 4.00 grade points) down to F (below 50%, 0.00 grade points).

To pass a course, a student must obtain at least 50% marks in Practical, Projects, Thesis, Assignments, Test and Theory Paper — separately or in aggregate.

FJWU computes GPA from quality points: multiply each course's credit hours by its grade points to get that course's quality points, sum the quality points and credit hours for the semester, then divide quality points by credit hours to get the semester GPA. The Cumulative GPA (CGPA) divides total quality points earned by total credit hours attempted across all semesters.

• A final CGPA of 1.95 is rounded up to 2.0 at the graduate and undergraduate level; the same rounding applies at 2.45→2.5 for MPhil and 2.95→3.00 for PhD.
• W (Withdrawn without failure) is recorded if a course is dropped before the midterm; WF (Withdrawn with failure) if dropped after the midterm; neither carries a grade point.
• An I (Incomplete) grade is given when a student cannot appear for the final exam for medical or other emergencies — if not completed, it converts to an F.

For Masters and Undergraduate students (Fall 2018 onwards): the minimum qualifying CGPA is 2.0. A CGPA below 1.7 means the student is dropped from the university's rolls (with a one-time chance to seek readmission during the degree program); a CGPA between 1.7 and 2.0 places the student on probation, to be cleared by reaching 2.0 or above the following semester. A student may be placed on probation a maximum of two times in a 16-year degree program, and a second probation within the first four semesters results in removal from the rolls (with a one-time readmission option).

For MPhil and PhD students (Fall 2019 onwards), the minimum qualifying CGPA is 2.50 and 3.00 respectively. A GPA between 1.75 and the qualifying CGPA places the student on probation; a GPA below 1.75 in any semester means the student is dropped from the university's rolls.

FJWU requires a minimum CGPA of 2.0 for Undergraduate and Master's degree completion, 2.50 for MPhil, and 3.00 for PhD.

HEC-extended facilitation for final-semester students: a student who secures less than 2.00 CGPA (16-year degree programs) or 2.50 CGPA (MS/MPhil) at the end of her final semester may seek re-admission in one or more courses graded below C, alongside the forthcoming semester — provided she is not debarred under the CGPA-improvement regulation and remains within the program's specified time duration.

FJWU awards session medals based on CGPA rank rather than a fixed cut-off alone:

• Gold Medal — highest CGPA in the session.
• Silver Medal — second-highest CGPA in the session.

To qualify, a student must obtain a CGPA of 3.0 or above, have no probation, conduct-probation, or disciplinary record during the academic session, and have passed every course on the first attempt — a student who repeated a course to pass an F or improve a D is not eligible for distinction. The student must also have completed all degree requirements within the minimum prescribed period. Ties are broken by percentage of marks obtained. Each discipline needs a minimum graduating class of ten (for 16-year/4-year degrees) or five (for MS/MPhil) for a medal to be awarded at all.
