How grading works at Women University, Swabi
Women University, Swabi uses an absolute grading system on a 0-4.00 scale: your percentage marks in a course are converted to a fixed grade point and then a letter grade, based on a university-wide table, not a comparison to classmates. Marks are rounded to the nearest whole percentage point first (60.4% rounds down to 60%, 49.5% rounds up to 50%).
Eight letter grades carry grade points — A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C and C- — with anything below 50% graded F (0 grade points). There is no D or D+ grade at this university. The exact marks-to-grade-point mapping is shown in the Grade Scale Reference on this page.

How Women University, Swabi calculates GPA and CGPA
Your GPA for a semester is the sum of each course's grade point multiplied by its credit hours, divided by the total credit hours attempted that semester. CGPA is the same calculation across all completed semesters — at the end of your first semester, CGPA equals GPA; from the second semester onward it accounts for every course taken so far. CGPA is rounded to two decimal places.
