Institute of Space Technology grades on a curve, so the mark you see is not the grade you get. Letters here track your standing against the rest of the cohort. The university sits in Islamabad and dates to 2002.
There are 8 grade tiers. 61 to 64.99% earns you C, worth 2 points, and that is the lowest grade carrying any points. Note what is missing. D does not appear on this scale, so there is nothing between the last pass and a fail.
What you see here is a computed percentage, not an official position. CGPA × 25 (mathematical normalization; not an official conversion formula) stretches the 4-point scale to 100. It approximates, nothing more. No Institute of Space Technology-issued conversion formula was found.
An honest gap. Rules can vary by programme, degree level or cohort; consult the current official regulation before formal use, and no source we trust closes it yet.
The document behind this page has since moved on the university's own site. Most comparisons between a Institute of Space Technology grade and an absolute one are unsound, because the two are not measuring the same thing. We kept an archived copy of the version we read, because a policy you cannot re-check is a policy you cannot trust. Verify before you file anything official.

IST permits absolute or relative grading at the instructor level in the cited graduate handbook. GPA/CGPA are credit-weighted and rounded to two decimals.
| Grade | Points | Marks | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.00 | 85–100% | — |
| A- | 3.70 | 81–84.99% | — |
| B+ | 3.30 | 77–80.99% | — |
| B | 3.00 | 73–76.99% | — |
| B- | 2.70 | 69–72.99% | — |
| C+ | 2.30 | 65–68.99% | — |
| C | 2.00 | 61–64.99% | — |
| F | 0.00 | 0–49.99% | — |
Credit-weighted, as at most institutions. Each grade point is multiplied by the course's credit hours, the results are summed, and the total is divided by credits attempted. A naive average of grade points gives the wrong answer at Institute of Space Technology whenever course credits differ.
In shape, yes. In detail, no. Institute of Space Technology sets its own boundaries, and those are what decide your letter. Check it against your own handbook before a deadline depends on the figure.
Only when the university or receiving authority publishes an accepted conversion for the relevant purpose. Gradometer treats CGPA × 25 as mathematical normalization, not as an automatic official equivalence.
Then that regulation wins. University-wide summaries are a starting point, and your Institute of Space Technology programme handbook is the authority. We took it from the regulation cited above rather than a third-party summary.
