International Islamic University (IIUI) GPA Calculator

International Islamic University Islamabad uses an absolute grading system for undergraduate studies: letter grades are assigned against fixed percentage cut-offs, not against the distribution of a class. Grades are awarded on a 0 to 4 grade-point scale in half-point steps.

IIUI's undergraduate scale has eight grades — A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D and F — with no minus grades. An A is awarded from 80% upward, and each half-point step down covers a five-mark band; the exact marks-to-grade-point mapping is shown in the Grade Scale Reference on this page. The lowest passing grade is D (50–54%, 1.00 grade points); anything below 50% is an F and carries 0.00.

IIUI reports a Semester GPA (SGPA) for each term and a Cumulative GPA (CGPA) across all semesters from admission onward. Both are credit-hour weighted: the CGPA is the sum of (grade point × credit hours) for every credit course, divided by the total credit hours attempted, so higher-credit courses weigh more heavily.

• A W (withdrawal) grade — recorded when a student withdraws from a course in weeks 4–6 of the semester — has no impact on the CGPA.
• An I (incomplete) grade, given when a student misses the terminal exam for exceptional reasons, also does not affect the CGPA.
• Extra, preparatory and non-credit courses are not counted toward the CGPA.

A student whose academic performance falls below the minimum degree requirement is placed on probation. For BS, BBA, BSc Technology and LLB programs, probation applies over the CGPA range 1.00 to 2.00 and runs across up to three semesters — Placed on Probation (POP), Probation Continued (PC-1), then Probation Continued (PC-2), after which a student who has not cleared is declared ceased.

A student on probation must register through their academic advisor, who may direct them to retake failed courses first in order to raise the CGPA and clear the probation. If a student is declared ceased with a CGPA below the minimum probation range, re-admission to the same program is not allowed, though fresh admission may be sought.

To be awarded an undergraduate degree, an IIUI student must complete the prescribed credit hours for their program and achieve a minimum CGPA of 2.00. A single-major degree requires at least 72 credit hours in the major, with a minimum 30 credits of General Education across all undergraduate programs.

A student who is below the 2.00 award floor at the end of the final semester may be allowed to repeat up to six (6) courses in a subsequent semester to improve the CGPA, provided the program's maximum time limit is not exceeded. Standard undergraduate degrees (BS/BBA/BSc Technology) have a minimum duration of 2 years and a maximum of 4 years.

IIUI awards medals, prizes, rolls of honour and distinctions on the basis of CGPA. The minimum criterion for such an award in any undergraduate program is a CGPA of 3.80/4.00. Where two or more students share the same CGPA, the award is decided by the highest percentage among them, and awards are made on merit separately for male and female students in each program.

A student is not eligible for any academic honour if they have a W on their transcript or have repeated any course. In disciplines with fewer than 10 students no position is awarded, though a distinction or gold medal may still be given.

Freshly admitted students may be granted exemption only for courses they passed with a minimum “B” grade (70% marks). Re-admitted IIUI students may be exempted from previously passed courses of the same level if passed with at least a “C” grade. Total exemption is capped at 60% of the passed courses / credit hours (or the limit set by the relevant accreditation council).

For re-admissions, the grades of exempted courses are transferred against the new academic record; departmental exemption committees review course contents before recommending any exemption.
