The top grade at KIU is A, awarded at 85% and above. Grading here is absolute. Published up front, unchanged thereafter. Gilgit has hosted it since 2002.
There are 11 grade tiers. D is the last grade worth anything, at 1 point, and it starts at 50 to 53%. I sits outside the average and affects neither the top nor the bottom of the fraction.
Treat the percentage here as a calculation rather than a rule. Because the bands are published, any disagreement between this page and your transcript is a fault worth reporting. Multiplying CGPA by 25 (mathematical normalization; not an official university conversion formula) rescales a 4-point figure. Treat the result as an estimate. No KIU-issued conversion formula was found.
Rules move from one intake to the next. If your transcript disagrees with the 11-grade table above, your transcript wins, and we would rather re-read the source than argue with it.

KIU uses a 4-point standard and publishes grade-point ranges within letter grades. The source says letter grades represent individual courses, while GPA/CGPA are numerical measures. Because some letters cover a range of grade points, this Gradometer record uses the displayed representative endpoint for letter-only planning; exact transcript calculations should use the numerical grade point recorded by KIU.
| Grade | Points | Marks | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.00 | 85–100% | Highest grade; exact GP may vary within range |
| A- | 3.66 | 80–84% | Range 3.34–3.66 |
| B+ | 3.33 | 75–79% | Range 3.01–3.33 |
| B | 3.00 | 71–74% | Range 2.67–3.00 |
| B- | 2.66 | 68–70% | Range 2.34–2.66 |
| C+ | 2.33 | 64–67% | Range 2.01–2.33 |
| C | 2.00 | 61–63% | Range 1.67–2.00 |
| C- | 1.66 | 58–60% | Range 1.31–1.66 |
| D+ | 1.30 | 54–57% | Range 1.01–1.30 |
| D | 1.00 | 50–53% | Range 0.10–1.00 |
| F | 0.00 | 0–49% | Fail |

By credit weighting. Quality points per course are grade point times credits, and the KIU GPA is their sum over total credits attempted. The source document is linked at the top of this page if you want to read the original wording.
No, not unless the university or receiving authority explicitly accepts that conversion. Gradometer shows it only as a mathematical normalization where appropriate. If your department publishes something different, that version governs your transcript.
Generic tools guess at the scale. This one reads the KIU record we cite, which is the difference between an estimate and an answer. Check it against your own handbook before a deadline depends on the figure. Keep in mind that regulations are revised between intakes, so a rule that applied to the cohort above you may not apply to yours. The version in force when you enrolled is normally the one that governs.
