How grading works at FUUAST
The Federal Urdu University of Arts, Sciences & Technology (FUUAST) uses an absolute grading system: each course grade is assigned from the marks a student scores, on fixed percentage bands, on a 0.00 to 4.00 grade-point scale. The letter grades, their grade points and the marks band for each are set out in the Grade Scale Reference on this page.
The top grade A+ is a distinction awarded for 90–100% and carries the same 4.0 grade points as an A (80–89%). The scheme has no minus grades and no D grade; the lowest passing grade is C at 50–54%, and anything below 50% is an F (fail, 0.0 grade points).

How FUUAST calculates GPA and CGPA
FUUAST reports a Grade Point Average (GPA) for a single semester and a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) across more than one semester. Both are credit-hour weighted, so a course carrying more credit hours counts more toward the average:
- GPA / CGPA = ∑ (credit hours of a course × grade point) ÷ total credit hours of the courses.
Each course grade point comes from the marks-to-grade bands in the Grade Scale Reference on this page.

Exam eligibility: the 75% attendance rule
A student must have an aggregate attendance of at least 75% across all courses in a semester to appear in that semester's examinations. A student below 75% aggregate is allowed to sit only in the individual course(s) in which his or her attendance reached at least 75% during the semester.
