Frequently asked questions
How is CGPA calculated at NUST?
CGPA at NUST is the weighted average of every semester you have completed: multiply each semester GPA by that semester's credit hours, add them all, and divide by the total credit hours earned.
What is the minimum CGPA required to graduate from NUST?
Most NUST undergraduate programmes require a minimum CGPA of 2.00 to graduate, and several faculties require 2.50 for postgraduate degrees. Always confirm with your department handbook.
Can I raise my CGPA at NUST?
Yes. Repeating low-grade courses and taking a lighter, well-planned credit load next semester are the fastest routes. Use the target CGPA feature above to see the GPA you need next semester.
Does NUST include failed courses in CGPA?
Failed (F) courses carry 0 grade points but their credit hours still count in the denominator until the course is repeated, which is why one F can pull a CGPA down sharply.
