The official grade-to-point mapping, how it is applied, and where it comes from.
The 2026 University of Karachi prospectus gives the numeric score, letter grade and grade-point table, and defines CGPR as total grade points divided by total credit hours. It states minimum degree CGPR thresholds of 2.2 or 2.45 depending on the degree programme. School of Law is excluded from the general table and should be treated separately.

| Code | How it is treated |
|---|---|
| W | Withdrawal — excluded from GPA/CGPR |
| I | Incomplete — no grade point until resolved |
| GPA scale | 0.00–4.00 |
| Grading method | University-published semester grading framework |
| CGPA → percentage status | Mathematical normalization only; not an official formula unless the receiving authority accepts it |
Multiply each course grade point by its credit hours, add the quality points, and divide by the relevant total credit hours, subject to the university rules.
Only if UoK says so in writing, and we have found no such statement. Where a percentage is required, the examination office issues one. The source document is linked at the top of this page if you want to read the original wording.
Because the UoK scale is not the same as anyone else's, and using the wrong grade points quietly produces the wrong CGPA. We took it from the regulation cited above rather than a third-party summary.
