How grading works at NTU
National Textile University grades undergraduate coursework on an Absolute Grading System: each course's final marks percentage maps to a fixed letter grade and grade point on a 0.00-4.00 scale, from A+ (90% and above, 4.00) down to F (below 50%, 0.00).
To pass a course, a student must score at least a D grade (50%, 1.00 grade point) in Theory and Practical work separately — a Practical component is graded as its own course out of 100 marks. Final-exam weightage is set by the university at 30% class participation/assignments/quizzes, 30% mid-semester exam, and 40% final exam; the final exam is mandatory regardless of a student's standing on the other components.

How NTU calculates GPA and CGPA, and treats W/I grades
NTU reports a Semester GPA and a Cumulative GPA (CGPA) from grade points earned across courses. Two grades are excluded from GPA/CGPA arithmetic:
- A W (withdrawn) grade — awarded when a student withdraws from a course within 10 weeks of the semester's start with prior permission; it carries no grade point and its credit hours are not counted toward the semester's credit load.
- An I (incomplete) grade — used only for projects, seminars, and special cases where a supervisory committee accepts the delay was outside the student's control; the outstanding work is due by the 3rd week of the following semester.
When a student repeats the same course, the old grade is substituted by the new grade for CGPA purposes; if instead a student takes a different course in place of a failed one, both grades remain on the transcript and both count.

Academic probation and expulsion at NTU
An NTU undergraduate is expected to hold a CGPA of at least 2.00 throughout their studies. Standing is reviewed each semester:
- 1st probation — triggered if CGPA falls below 2.00 in the first semester; the student must raise it back to 2.00 or above in the following semester.
- Expulsion — if a student's first-semester GPA falls below 1.00, or a student on final probation fails to restore a 2.00 CGPA, they are expelled and cannot be readmitted.
- Final probation — a student still below 2.00 CGPA after the second semester may be promoted conditionally onto final probation rather than expelled outright.
- A student on probation may register for a maximum of 12 credit hours in the following regular semester, and is allowed at most two academic probations in a program before expulsion.
A student who fails individual courses but keeps a CGPA of 2.00 or above may instead repeat and clear those courses when next offered, without triggering probation.

Minimum CGPA to graduate from NTU
To be awarded an undergraduate degree, an NTU student must: complete all courses approved by the Board of Studies with no F grade in any of them; maintain a minimum CGPA of 2.00 for the entire program; score at least a C grade in their Project/Thesis work; and pass a mandatory comprehensive viva voce examination held at the end of their final semester.

Graduating with honors and merit scholarships at NTU
NTU awards the undergraduate degree with honors to a candidate who passes every required course on the first attempt while maintaining a CGPA of 3.0 or above in each semester.
Separately, any student who earns a GPA of 3.50 or above in a given semester is awarded a merit scholarship for that performance.

Does NTU award an A+ grade?
Yes. NTU's official Absolute Grading System table awards A+ (4.00 grade points) for 90% marks and above, as a tier above the plain A grade (85-89.9%, also 4.00 grade points).

When is an NTU student placed on academic probation?
A student is placed on 1st probation if their CGPA falls below 2.00 in the first semester. If their CGPA is still below 2.00 after a second semester they may be given a final probation instead of expulsion; failing to reach 2.00 after that leads to expulsion. A first-semester GPA below 1.00 leads to immediate expulsion.

Can I repeat a course at NTU to improve my grade?
Generally no — NTU only allows course repeats for grade improvement to probationer students holding a D or D+ grade, up to a maximum of six courses (18 credit hours). If you repeat the same course, the old grade is replaced by the new one for CGPA purposes.

What happens if I withdraw from a course at NTU?
Withdrawing within the first 10 weeks of a semester, with your Director/HOD's consent, earns a W grade on your transcript. A W carries no grade point and its credit hours are not counted toward your semester's credit load or your GPA/CGPA.
