HEC marks to grade table
This is the grading table from the HEC Policy Guidelines for the Uniform Semester System (Pakistan):
| Marks % | Grade | Grade points (HEC range) |
|---|---|---|
| 85 and above | A | 3.67 - 4.00 |
| 80 - 84 | A- | 3.34 - 3.66 |
| 75 - 79 | B+ | 3.01 - 3.33 |
| 71 - 74 | B | 2.67 - 3.00 |
| 68 - 70 | B- | 2.34 - 2.66 |
| 64 - 67 | C+ | 2.01 - 2.33 |
| 61 - 63 | C | 1.67 - 2.00 |
| 58 - 60 | C- | 1.31 - 1.66 |
| 54 - 57 | D+ | 1.01 - 1.30 |
| 50 - 53 | D | 0.10 - 1.00 |
| Below 50 | F | 0.00 |
The HEC table has no A+ grade (A covers 85 and above). If your university awards A+, pick it from the grade box by hand; it counts as 4.00. Marks alone always select A at 85+.
HEC gives a range of grade points for each grade. This calculator uses the top value of each range (A = 4.00, A- = 3.66, B+ = 3.33, B = 3.00, B- = 2.66, C+ = 2.33, C = 2.00, C- = 1.66, D+ = 1.30, D = 1.00), which is the value most universities print on transcripts.
How CGPA is calculated
GPA for one semester = (sum of grade points × credit hours) ÷ (total credit hours). CGPA is the same idea across all semesters: multiply each semester's GPA by that semester's credit hours, add them up, and divide by the total credit hours so far.
Example: Subject A: 88 marks = grade A (4.00), 3 credit hours = 12.00 points. Subject B: 72 marks = grade B (3.00), 3 credit hours = 9.00 points. Subject C: 76 marks = grade B+ (3.33), 2 credit hours = 6.66 points. Total = 27.66 points over 8 credit hours, so GPA = 27.66 ÷ 8 = 3.46.
Important: HEC recommends this table, but some universities use relative grading (grades on a curve) or their own scale, so the marks needed for a grade can differ. Always check your university's policy. This calculator is for estimating; your official transcript is the final word.

FAQ
How do I find my grade from marks under the HEC system?
Enter your percentage in the marks box. For example, 85 and above is A, 80 to 84 is A-, 75 to 79 is B+, 71 to 74 is B, and below 50 is F, as per the HEC table.
What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA is your average for one semester. CGPA is the cumulative average across all completed semesters, weighted by credit hours.
How do I calculate CGPA from semester GPAs?
Multiply each semester's GPA by its credit hours, add these values, then divide by the total credit hours of all semesters.
Can I share or save my result?
Yes. Use Share result to send it on WhatsApp, Copy link to get a link that reopens your entries, or Print / Save as PDF. Your entries are also remembered on this device.
Will my university's result match this calculator?
Not always. Some universities use relative grading or their own marks ranges and grade points. Check your university's grading policy and transcript.
