The NUML CGPA Calculator is designed to help students from all NUML campuses (Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Multan, Hyderabad, Quetta, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi) calculate their GPA.
NUML uses an absolute grading system. This calculator uses the standard grade points (A=4.0, B+=3.5, etc.) to give you an accurate estimation of your coursework performance.
Key NUML Terminology

NUML Grading Scale
The official grading system used by NUML:
| Letter Grade | Marks % | Grade Points |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 90% + | 4.0 |
| A | 80 - 89% | 4.0 |
| B+ | 75 - 79% | 3.5 |
| B | 70 - 74% | 3.0 |
| C+ | 65 - 69% | 2.5 |
| C | 60 - 64% | 2.0 |
| D | 50 - 59% | 1.5 |
| F | Below 50% | 0.0 |
Understanding A+ vs A Grade
At NUML, both A+ (90%+) and A (80-89%) carry the same 4.0 GPA points. However, an A+ is a mark of distinction and can be crucial for Gold Medal considerations.
Note: NUML follows an Absolute Grading System. Your grade depends purely on your percentage marks, not on the class average.
Academic Rules: Deficiency & Promotion
⚠️ Deficient Student
You are declared "Deficient" if you fail a course or your SGPA/CGPA is below 2.00. You must improve this.
🚫 Relegation
Failing to improve your deficient status in probation periods may lead to "Relegation" (repeating the semester with juniors).
📅 Attendance
75% attendance is mandatory (80% recommended). Short attendance leads to an 'F' grade directly.
Calculation Example
Example of GPA calculation for an English Language student:
- Linguistics (3 Credits): Grade B+ (3.5) → 3 × 3.5 = 10.5 points
- Literature (3 Credits): Grade A (4.0) → 3 × 4.0 = 12.0 points
- Research (3 Credits): Grade C+ (2.5) → 3 × 2.5 = 7.5 points
Total Credits: 9
Total Points: 30.0
SGPA = 30.0 / 9 = 3.33
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between A+ and A?
Both A+ (90%+) and A (80-89%) have 4.00 Grade Points. However, A+ indicates exceptional performance and is recorded on the transcript, helping in distinctions like Gold Medals.
What is a 'Deficient Student'?
A student is marked "Deficient" if they fail a course, have short attendance, or their SGPA/CGPA falls below the required threshold (usually 2.00).
How does Relegation work?
If a student fails to clear deficiencies or probation within the allowed chances, they are "Relegated" to the next junior batch to repeat the semester.
Can I improve a 'C' grade?
Yes, students can improve 'C' or 'D' grades by taking them again. The better grade is considered for CGPA calculation.
What is the attendance policy?
NUML strictly requires 75% attendance in every course. Falling below this results in being barred from the final exam (F grade).
Does NUML have a Summer Semester?
Yes, a Summer Semester is offered for students to clear failed courses or improve low grades (D/C). It is shorter and intensive.

What is the passing criteria for MS/MPhil?
For graduate programs (MS/MPhil), the passing grade is generally 'C' (2.0), but a CGPA of 2.50 is usually required for degree award.
How are marks converted to GPA?
NUML uses an Absolute Scale. Your total marks out of 100 determine the letter grade (see table above), which then corresponds to Grade Points.
Where can I check official results?
Results are available on the NUML LMS (Learning Management System) and the departmental notice boards.
