How to Calculate Your CINVESTAV Promedio
The Centro de Investigacion y de Estudios Avanzados (CINVESTAV) is a graduate research institution that grades on a 0 to 10 scale where the postgraduate pass mark is 8.0, higher than the 6.0 used in undergraduate programs elsewhere. The promedio is the credit-weighted average across courses.

Centro de Investigacion y de Estudios Avanzados Grading and Standing
CINVESTAV requires an 8.0 to pass a postgraduate course, reflecting the research focus of its master's and doctoral programs. Students who fall below the threshold may face conditions on continuation in the program. Confirm the exact pass and continuation rules with your CINVESTAV department.
What makes CINVESTAV distinctive: CINVESTAV is a graduate-only research center where the passing calificacion is 8.0, not the 6.0 common in Mexican undergraduate programs, so the bar to pass a course is markedly higher.
