UOS Grading Scale and CGPA Calculation
University of Sargodha 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 UOS 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. UOS awards a Departmental Gold Medal to the highest-CGPA graduating student in each discipline each academic year. The medal is discipline-specific, meaning students across UOS departments each compete for their own departmental award rather than a single university-wide medal.
Academic Standing, Honors, and Probation at UOS
UOS places students with a CGPA below 2.0 on semester-based Academic Probation. Students on probation are required to show continuous improvement each semester; failure to recover to 2.0 within the probationary period can result in academic suspension.
The Departmental Gold Medal at University of Sargodha recognizes students who achieve a CGPA of 3.7 or above. The Dean's List requires a CGPA of 3.5 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 UOS
UOS follows the HEC grade-improvement policy. Students may retake a failed or low-graded course; the higher grade is used in CGPA calculation. Both attempts are recorded on the official transcript.
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.
