How grading works at the University of Dhaka

The University of Dhaka grades courses on a 10-point letter scale from A+ down to F, matching the UGC Bangladesh Uniform Grading System. There is no letter grade between D and F — a mark below 40% is graded F directly.

This letter-grade table is set at the program level: it appears consistently across curricula from different faculties at DU (confirmed independently in Science and Arts program documents), but no single university-wide grading ordinance publishing it centrally was found.

Promotion requirements differ by faculty at the University of Dhaka

Minimum CGPA/GPA to advance to the next year is set per faculty, not by one university-wide rule.

Science-cluster programs (e.g. Nutrition and Food Science, Microbiology, both BS Hons.) use a tiered promotion floor that rises each year: GPA ≥2.00 to move from 1st to 2nd year, CGPA ≥2.25 to move from 2nd to 3rd year, and CGPA ≥2.50 to move from 3rd to 4th year.

Arts-cluster programs (e.g. BA Hons. in English) instead use a flat CGPA ≥2.00 floor for every year-to-year transition.

Minimum CGPA to graduate depends on your faculty at the University of Dhaka

The University of Dhaka does not publish one university-wide graduation CGPA floor — the minimum is set per faculty, and the two clusters confirmed differ:

Science-cluster programs (BS Hons., e.g. Nutrition and Food Science, Microbiology) require a minimum graduation CGPA of 2.50 on the 4.00 scale.

Arts-cluster programs (BA Hons., e.g. English) require a minimum graduation CGPA of 2.00, with a minimum grade point of 2.00 in each individual course.

Check your own program's curriculum document for its specific faculty cluster if it isn't listed above.

What CGPA do you need to graduate from the University of Dhaka?

It depends on your faculty — DU does not publish one single university-wide floor. Science-cluster Honours programs (e.g. Nutrition and Food Science, Microbiology) require a minimum graduation CGPA of 2.50. Arts-cluster Honours programs (e.g. English) require a minimum graduation CGPA of 2.00. Check your own program's curriculum document to confirm which floor applies to you.

How do I convert SGPA to CGPA at DU?
Your CGPA is the credit-weighted average of your SGPAs across every semester: (SGPA₁ × credits₁ + … + SGPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + … + creditsₙ). Save each semester to the tracker on this page, by course or as a quick SGPA + credits entry, and it works out your CGPA on every save, edit and delete.
Is this DU GPA calculator free, and is my data private?
Yes. GPAWise is free, with no signup, and your courses and saved semesters stay in your browser: nothing is sent to our servers. "Clear all tracker data" on the tracker wipes them at any time.
