How grades are determined at UET Peshawar
Coursework is split into weighted components before a letter grade is assigned. For theory courses: 25% sessional evaluation (assignments, quizzes, oral tests, class presentations, projects), 25% midterm examination, 50% final examination. For B.Sc. lab courses: 25% sessional lab work, 25% midterm written exam, 25% final written exam, 25% oral (viva voce) examination. The final-year capstone project is marked 35% sessional work, 20% presentations to an evaluation committee, and 45% viva examination including the report.
UET Peshawar does not assign letter grades from a fixed percentage table. Actual marks are first converted to normalized marks by multiplying each student's marks by 100 divided by the highest marks obtained in that class. The normalized 50-100 range is then split into ten equal five-point bands and letter grades D through A are awarded across those bands; a normalized mark below 50 is an F. Because the normalization depends on the top scorer in each class, the same raw percentage can correspond to a different letter grade in different classes.

How UET Peshawar calculates SGPA and CGPA
Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is the sum of quality points earned in a semester divided by the total credit hours taken that semester. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is the same calculation carried out across all courses taken to date. Both SGPA and CGPA are rounded to two decimal places.
If a course is repeated, every attempt is listed on the transcript in its own semester, but only the best grade obtained counts toward the CGPA.

Academic warnings and re-registration requirements
- An SGPA of 2.0 or below in any semester triggers a written warning from the department chairman, with a copy sent to the student's parents or guardian.
- An SGPA of 2.0 or below for three consecutive regular semesters, combined with a CGPA below 2.00, requires the student to keep re-registering until their CGPA reaches the graduation minimum. A written warning goes out once SGPA has been below 2.00 for two consecutive semesters.
- A CGPA below 1.5 after the first two semesters blocks registration for the third semester until the CGPA reaches 1.5.
- Three or more outstanding F grades from the first two semesters, still outstanding at the start of the fifth semester, block registration for the fifth semester until those courses are passed.

How migrated/transferred courses affect your CGPA

Their CGPA is calculated using both those accepted courses and the courses they take at UET Peshawar, with a note on the transcript identifying the student's previous institution and the courses taken there.

Does UET Peshawar grade on a fixed percentage scale?
No. UET Peshawar first converts each student's marks into normalized marks - actual marks multiplied by 100 divided by the highest marks obtained in that class - and then bands the normalized 50-100 range into ten equal five-point intervals to assign letter grades. Because the normalization depends on the top scorer in the class, there is no single raw percentage that guarantees a particular letter grade.
