Grading System
The University of Chittagong grades courses on a 10-point letter scale from A+ to F, following the UGC Bangladesh Uniform Grading System. There is no letter grade between D and F — a mark below 40% is graded F directly. Results not completed by the required deadline are recorded as "Incomplete" and carry no grade point until resolved.
