CGPA Calculator for Pakistani Universities — Step by Step

Published Sep 21, 2026 · 5 min read

Pakistani universities like NUST, FAST, LUMS, UET, and Punjab University use the 4.0 GPA scale. Understanding your CGPA is essential for job applications, higher studies, and scholarships.

Here's how to calculate your CGPA and how to extract your individual semester GPA from your result card.

What is CGPA vs GPA?

  • GPA = Grade Point Average for ONE semester
  • CGPA = Cumulative Grade Point Average across ALL semesters

Example: If you get 3.5 GPA in semester 1 and 3.7 GPA in semester 2, your CGPA after 2 semesters would be approximately 3.6.

How to Calculate CGPA from Result Card

The Standard Formula

CGPA = (Sum of all quality points) ÷ (Sum of all credit hours)

Quality points = Grade point × Credit hours for that course

Extract Semester GPA from Result CGPA

If your result card shows a new overall CGPA but not your individual semester GPA, use this formula:

Semester GPA = [(New CGPA × Total Credits) − (Old CGPA × Old Credits)] ÷ Semester Credits
