Iqra Grading Scale and CGPA Calculation
Iqra University uses the Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan standard 4.0 grading scale for all undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Under the HEC framework, each percentage band maps to a letter grade and a fixed grade-point value: A = 4.0 (85 to 100 percent), A- = 3.7 (80 to 84), B+ = 3.3 (75 to 79), B = 3.0 (71 to 74), B- = 2.7 (68 to 70), C+ = 2.3 (64 to 67), C = 2.0 (60 to 63), C- = 1.7 (57 to 59), D+ = 1.3 (53 to 56), D = 1.0 (50 to 52), and F = 0.0 (below 50 percent). The minimum passing mark is 50 percent.
The CGPA formula at Iqra is: CGPA = Sum(Grade Points × Credit Hours) / Sum(Credit Hours). Multiply each course's grade-point value by its credit hours to get quality points, sum all quality points, then divide by total credit hours attempted. Iqra University's student portal reports marks out of 100 internally. Faculty apply the HEC percentage-to-letter conversion before submitting official grades. Students checking their portal mid-semester can use Marks mode in the calculator above to estimate their running CGPA before the official letter grades are finalized.
Academic Standing, Honors, and Probation at Iqra
Iqra University places students with a CGPA below 2.0 on Academic Warning. Students on warning are allowed one course repeat to improve a low grade. Two consecutive semesters below 2.0 can result in suspension.
The Dean's List at Iqra University recognizes students who achieve a CGPA of 3.5 or above. The Rector's Award requires a CGPA of 3.8 or above. Students targeting either distinction should use the calculator above to model how their current GPA trajectory aligns with these thresholds before final exams.
Course Repetition and Grade Replacement at Iqra
Iqra University allows one course retake per low-graded or failed course. The higher grade is used in CGPA calculation. Iqra's student portal displays marks out of 100; faculty convert these to HEC letter grades before the registrar records them. Use Marks mode in the calculator if your portal shows raw marks.
Students weighing a grade-improvement retake should calculate the CGPA impact before committing. Enter your current courses into the calculator above, then replace one course grade with a projected improved grade to see how much your cumulative GPA would change. A retake carries a time and fee cost; the calculator helps you decide whether the CGPA gain justifies the investment.
