The IIUI CGPA Calculator helps students of the International Islamic University Islamabad calculate their GPA with precision. IIUI follows a unique grading structure compared to other Pakistani universities, utilizing 0.5 grade point increments (e.g., B+ is 3.5, not 3.3).
This tool is pre-configured with the official IIUI grading scale applicable to BS, MS, and PhD programs, ensuring your calculation matches your academic record perfectly.
What is CGPA and How is it Calculated?
SGPA vs. CGPA
SGPA (Semester GPA): The average grade points earned in a single
semester.
CGPA (Cumulative GPA): The weighted average of all semesters
combined.
The Formula
CGPA = Σ (Quality Points × Credit Hours) / Σ Total Credit Hours
How to Use This Calculator
Input Courses: Add your subjects and their credit hours (mostly 3 or 4). The calculator is locked to the IIUI 0.5 Scale.

IIUI Grading Scale
IIUI uses the following grade point system for most faculties:
| Letter Grade | Marks % | Grade Points |
|---|---|---|
| A | 80% + | 4.00 |
| B+ | 75 - 79% | 3.50 |
| B | 70 - 74% | 3.00 |
| C+ | 65 - 69% | 2.50 |
| C | 60 - 64% | 2.00 |
| D+ | 55 - 59% | 1.50 |
| D | 50 - 54% | 1.00 |
| F | Below 50% | 0.00 |
percentage to GPA Conversion
At IIUI, securing 80% or above guarantees a 4.00 GPA.
Unlike some systems where 85% is required, IIUI's absolute grading is student-friendly.
Note: Marks below 50% result in an F (0.00).

Calculation Example
Example of GPA calculation for an Islamic Studies student:
- Arabic (3 Credits): Grade B+ (3.50) → 3 × 3.50 = 10.50 points
- Fiqh (3 Credits): Grade A (4.00) → 3 × 4.00 = 12.00 points
- English (3 Credits): Grade C+ (2.50) → 3 × 2.50 = 7.50 points
Total Credits: 9
Total Points: 30.0
SGPA = 30.0 / 9 = 3.33
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my GPA from marks?
IIUI uses an absolute grading system. There is no direct formula to
convert marks to GPA like (Marks/100)*4. Instead, look up your percentage
in the Grading Scale table above. For example, 75-79% is a fixed 3.50
GPA.
What is the difference between SGPA and CGPA?
SGPA is your performance in a single semester, while CGPA is the cumulative average of all semesters studied so far. Your degree classification honors are based on your final CGPA.
Is the IIUI grading system relative or absolute?
IIUI follows an Absolute Grading System. Your grade depends solely on your own marks, not on the class average or highest score (Relative Grading).
Is 50% considered a passing grade at IIUI?
Yes, 50% is the minimum passing threshold, awarding a 'D' grade (1.00). Any score below 50% is considered Failing (F).
Can I freeze my semester at IIUI?
Yes, students can freeze a semester due to valid reasons (medical, financial) by applying to the Academic Council before the start of the semester. Freezing is typically allowed for only one semester in the entire degree duration.
How are 'W' (Withdrawal) grades treated?
A 'W' grade indicates you withdrew from a course before the final exam. It does not affect your CGPA calculation but appears on your transcript. You must retake the course to complete credit requirements.
What is the 'I' (Incomplete) grade policy?
An 'I' grade is temporary, given when a student misses requirements due to genuine reasons. It must be converted to a regular grade within the next semester; otherwise, it turns into an 'F'.
Is attendance mandatory?
