Sindh Madressatul Islam University CGPA Calculator

Karachi, Sindh · public · est. 1885

Sindh Madressatul Islam works out CGPA by weighting every course grade by its credit hours. Multiply a course's grade point by its credit hours to get quality points, then divide the total quality points from all your semesters by the total credit hours those courses carry. The grade points come from the official Sindh Madressatul Islam grading scale shown below, a 11-band table topping out at 4.00 for A from 91%, so CGPA is reported out of 4.00. The lowest passing grade is D, awarded from 50%.

Sindh Madressatul Islam grades on an absolute scale out of 4.00 with 11 bands. A mark of 91% or above earns A (4.00), and 50% is the lowest passing band (D). The calculator above already applies these bands, so you can enter raw marks instead of letters.

https://www.smiu.edu.pk/students/grading-system · retrieved 2026-08-30Official page publishes Numerical Grade / Alphabetical Grade / GPA table directly in HTML. Notably the top two bands are wider/narrower than the common HEC pattern: A- spans a full 11 points (80-90%) while A is only 91-100%, unlike most Pakistani universities where A starts at 85%. GPA = sum(credit hours x grade points) / total credit hours, same formula for semester GPA and CGPA.

How grading works at Sindh Madressatul Islam

Fatima traced her CGPA back through four semesters at Sindh Madressatul Islam University, curious how a single number could summarise two years of coursework. The formula behind it is simple. Each course's grade point is multiplied by its credit hours, those figures are added together, and the sum is divided by the credit hours attempted that term. One semester gives an SGPA. All semesters combined give a CGPA. The scale here tops out at 4.0, same as most HEC-aligned universities.

Sindh Madressatul Islam University traces its roots to 1885 in Karachi, making it one of the oldest educational institutions in the region and, notably, the school where Muhammad Ali Jinnah began his formal education. Granted full university status decades after its founding, it now teaches computer science, business, international relations and media studies alongside its historic arts and Islamic studies subjects, so the age of the institution says little about how modern its examination system actually is.

No grading table published specifically by the university was confirmed while writing this page. The calculator falls back on the standard HEC-style scale as a working default rather than an institution-specific figure. Students should check their own faculty's examination office for the exact bands their department actually applies before treating any number here as final.

Worked example: a full semester on the Sindh Madressatul Islam scale

Here is a complete 15 credit-hour semester scored against the Sindh Madressatul Islam grade points in the table above. The marks are illustrative, but every number after them is calculated the same way the calculator on this page calculates yours.

Illustrative Sindh Madressatul Islam semester showing marks, grades, credit hours and quality points
Course	Credit hrs	Marks /100	Grade	Grade point	Quality points
Core course I	3	96	A	4.00	3 × 4.00 = 12.00
Core course II	4	77	B+	3.33	4 × 3.33 = 13.32
Core course III	3	69	B-	2.66	3 × 2.66 = 7.98
Elective	3	66	C+	2.33	3 × 2.33 = 6.99
Lab / practical	2	59	C-	1.66	2 × 1.66 = 3.32
Total	15				43.61

Step by step

Convert each course mark to a grade point. Work out each course as a percentage of its total marks, then read the letter off the Sindh Madressatul Islam grading table. 96 out of 100 is 96%, which falls in the A band and is worth 4.00 grade points.
Multiply each grade point by the course credit hours. Credit hours decide how much each course counts, so multiply to get quality points: 3 × 4.00 = 12.00, 4 × 3.33 = 13.32, 3 × 2.66 = 7.98, 3 × 2.33 = 6.99, 2 × 1.66 = 3.32.
Add the quality points and the credit hours. Adding the five courses gives 43.61 quality points across 15 credit hours.
Divide to get the semester GPA. 43.61 ÷ 15 = 2.90, the semester GPA for this term at Sindh Madressatul Islam.
Fold the semester into your CGPA. If you had already completed 45 credit hours at a CGPA of 3.20, those carry 144.00 quality points. Add this semester and the CGPA becomes (144.00 + 43.61) ÷ (45 + 15) = 3.13.

The division actually gives 2.9073; result cards print two decimals, so it appears as 2.90. Notice how the 4-credit course moves the average roughly twice as hard as the 2-credit lab. That credit-hour weighting is the whole reason a GPA is not just the average of your grade points.

Which Sindh Madressatul Islam programmes use this scale?

The same grading plan applies across Sindh Madressatul Islam’s degree programmes, including BS Computer Science, BBA, BS International Relations, BS Media Studies and BS Economics. Credit-hour loads differ by programme (a typical semester runs 15 to 18 credit hours), but the marks-to-grade-point mapping above does not change between them.

Sindh Madressatul Islam CGPA: frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SGPA and CGPA at Sindh Madressatul Islam University?

SGPA is the weighted average of a single semester's grades. CGPA is the cumulative average across every semester completed so far. Both use the identical grade-point-times-credit-hours formula; a CGPA simply pools more terms, so it changes more gradually than any one semester's SGPA.

What counts as a good CGPA here?

No specific honours threshold for this university has been published on this page. Across most Pakistani universities a CGPA above 3.5 is generally regarded as strong, and above 3.0 as solid standing. Check your own faculty's distinction list or merit criteria for the exact figures used for scholarships, since these can vary from department to department even within one university.

Does this university's grading scale differ from the HEC standard?

No separately published grading table for this university was available at the time of writing, so the standard HEC-style scale is assumed here: letter grades from A to F, a pass mark in the fifties, and grade points capped at 4.0. Being one of the oldest institutions in Sindh does not necessarily mean its current grading policy differs from the modern norm.

Does repeating a course change my CGPA?

Yes, typically. Once a repeated course posts its new grade, the university recalculates your CGPA and generally counts the better of the two attempts rather than averaging them. The exact rules, including how the original attempt is recorded on your transcript, come from the university's own examination department, so confirm them before assuming a retake fully resolves a weak grade.

How many credit hours does a semester carry here?

Undergraduate semesters at this university generally follow the common fifteen-to-eighteen credit-hour pattern found across Pakistani universities, spread over four to six courses. Since CGPA weights by credit hours rather than course count, a heavier semester moves the cumulative average more than a lighter one, which matters when planning elective loads.

How do I convert my CGPA into a percentage?

There is no single official formula that Pakistani universities use to convert a CGPA into a percentage, and this university has not published one either. The percentage printed on your own transcript or result card is the number to trust for scholarship forms or job applications. Online conversion calculators are only rough approximations.
