COMSATS University Islamabad Absolute Grading Scale

COMSATS uses an institution-wide 4.0 grading structure. The grade table and treatment of administrative grades should be read from current CUI regulations; this site avoids treating the generic 4.0 normalization as an official percentage equivalence.

Conversion category: Mathematical estimate / normalization

Conversion shown: CGPA × 25 (mathematical normalization; not an official conversion formula)

Conversion note: CGPA × 25 is a mathematical normalization of a 4.0 scale, not a separately verified COMSATS-issued CGPA-to-percentage formula.

Questions students ask

Is A- worth 3.66 or 3.67 at COMSATS?

CUI's own published regulations print 3.66. Many third-party calculators use 3.67 because that is the generic HEC value. Across a full degree the difference is negligible (well under 0.01 CGPA), but this site uses 3.66 to match the university's own document. If your transcript disagrees, trust your transcript.

How do I convert my COMSATS CGPA to a percentage?

Percentage = CGPA x 25, which is identical to (CGPA / 4.0) x 100. A 3.20 CGPA is 80%. This is the standard HEC conversion and it applies across all CUI campuses.

Do all COMSATS campuses use the same grading scale?

Yes. Islamabad, Lahore, Abbottabad, Wah, Sahiwal, Attock, Vehari and the Virtual Campus all use the identical 11-grade 4.0 scale, so your GPA carries the same weight regardless of campus.

Are F grades included in my CGPA?

Yes. F grades count fully as 0.00 quality points across their credit hours and will pull your CGPA down. W, I, NC and AU grades are excluded from the calculation entirely.
