Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET) GPA Calculator

GPA is the weighted average of the grade points earned in all courses passed or completed in a semester; CGPA is the same weighted average taken cumulatively across all semesters to date. Both are rounded to two decimal places.

'F' grades are excluded from the GPA/CGPA calculation entirely — they are not counted in either the credit total or the grade-point total of the average, rather than simply contributing a zero. An 'F' still stays permanently on the grade sheet and transcript, and the course is treated as a backlog course that must be repeated (compulsory for a Core Course; a repeat or substitute course is allowed for an Optional Course).

A 'D' grade may be repeated for grade improvement only if the student's CGPA has fallen below 2.20; the higher of the two grades obtained is kept.

The maximum grade obtainable in a Backlog Examination is capped at B (B Regular); the maximum grade obtainable in a Short Semester Examination (available once per student, in the final year only) is capped at B+ (B Plus).

Students whose CGPA falls below 2.20 at the end of a semester receive special contact from their academic adviser, as part of measures intended to help them complete their studies within the maximum allowed period.

Backlog Examinations are held after the Even semester results are published; students may sit for a maximum of 3 backlog courses in an academic year (4th-year students may choose which 3 of their backlog courses to sit).

A Short Semester Examination — covering backlog courses only — is available once per student's academic life, to final-year students with a shortage of at most 5 incomplete courses (including sessional, project, and thesis) needed to complete the Bachelor degree.

The minimum CGPA required to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (or Bachelor of Urban & Regional Planning, or Bachelor of Architecture) degree at RUET is 2.20, alongside the minimum credit requirement set for the specific curriculum.

Students must complete their studies within a maximum of 7 academic years for a 4-year Bachelor degree, or 8 academic years for a 5-year Bachelor degree (e.g. Architecture).

A Bachelor's degree is awarded with Honours (First Class with Honours) to candidates with a final CGPA of 3.75 or above.

Candidates with a CGPA of 3.00 or above (but below 3.75) graduate as First Class; a CGPA of 2.20 or above (but below 3.00) graduates as Second Class.

Students who maintain an SGPA of 3.75 or above in both regular semesters of an academic year, with no 'F' grade in either semester, may be named to the Vice-Chancellor's List for their department that year.

A University Gold Medal is awarded to a student who obtains 'A' or better in every course attempted while meeting the credit requirements for graduation.
