Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology (GIKI) GPA Calculator

GIK Institute grades each course with a letter grade — A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, or F — and assigns Grade Points per Credit Hour (GPC) to each. There is no university-wide percentage-to-letter conversion table printed in the handbook; the letter grades and their grade points are listed in the Grade Scale Reference on this page. Grade Points for a course are found by multiplying its GPC by the number of credit hours assigned to that course.

Two additional administrative grades exist: W (Withdrawn) and I (Incomplete) — both carry no credit and are not counted in the GPA calculation. An F grade means the entire course must be repeated to receive any credit.

GIKI reports a Semester GPA (SGPA), obtained by dividing the total grade points earned in a semester by the total credit hours registered for that semester, and a Cumulative GPA (CGPA), obtained by dividing total grade points earned across the entire period of study by the total credit hours undertaken. The maximum possible GPA is 4.00.

• If a course is repeated, only the most recent grade counts toward the GPA/CGPA — even if it is lower than an earlier attempt — but every attempt still appears on the transcript.
• A W grade does not require the course to be repeated and is not counted in GPA calculations.

At the end of each semester GIKI assigns a standing based on Semester GPA (SGPA):

• Caution — SGPA is 2.00 or above, but CGPA is below 2.00.
• Probation — SGPA falls below 2.00 at the end of a semester; the student is placed on probation for the next semester and may register for only 10–13 credit hours (a reduced load).
• Warning — SGPA below 2.00 for two consecutive semesters triggers a warning letter from the Examination Section, copied to the student's parents/guardians.
• Expulsion — SGPA below 2.00 in two consecutive regular semesters results in removal from the Institute's rolls.

A probationer may also register for one repeating course in which they previously obtained an F, D, or D+ grade, provided their CGPA is above 2.00.

To be declared Passed and graduate, a GIKI student must: complete the total credit hours required for their degree (135/136 credit hours for a bachelor's in engineering, including the six-credit senior design project and a non-credit summer internship), reach a CGPA of at least 2.00 at completion, and finish the degree requirements within 4 to 6 years (6 years is the maximum allowed).

GIKI recognizes strong semester performance (for a normal course load or above) in graded tiers based on Semester GPA:

• Highest Distinction — SGPA between 3.90 and 4.00, inclusive.
• High Distinction — SGPA between 3.75 and 3.89, inclusive.
• Distinction — SGPA between 3.50 and 3.74, inclusive.
• Good — SGPA between 3.00 and 3.49, inclusive.
• Satisfactory — SGPA between 2.00 and 2.99, inclusive.

Each Faculty also selects students for the Dean's Honors List according to its own prescribed criteria.
