Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science & Technology — 2022+ Scale

QUEST explicitly publishes two grade-equivalence tables: one for students up to the 2021 batch and a revised table effective from the 2022 batch. Gradometer uses the 2022+ table as the default for new students and notes the cohort break. This is a good example of why university calculators should retain effective dates instead of assuming one scale applies forever.

Conversion category: Mathematical estimate / normalization

Conversion shown: CGPA × 25 (4.0-scale normalization; not universal)

Conversion note: A 4.0-to-100 multiplication is a normalization convention. It should not be described as a universal HEC formula unless the receiving institution explicitly accepts it.

Questions students ask

What kind of grading system will I meet at QUEST?

QUEST runs the official 2022+ table: A+=4.0 at 90+, A=3.5 at 81–89, B+=3.0 at 73–80, B=2.5 at 65–72, C+=2.0 at 60–64, C=1.5 at 55–59, C−=1.0 at 50–54 and F below 50. Check the current university rules for your programme and cohort.

QUEST CGPA to percentage: is there an official route?

You can compute something. Whether QUEST or anyone else will accept it is a different question, and the answer is usually no without an official equivalence. 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.

How is GPA calculated at QUEST?

Multiply each course grade point by its credit hours, add the quality points, then divide by the credits attempted. QUEST weights by credit, so a 4-credit course moves your GPA more than a 1-credit lab.
