University rule guide
PU GPA and CGPA calculator guide
The calculator is limited to the credit-weighted SGPA/CGPA arithmetic used by applicable semester-system programmes. Grade tables and percentage conversion are not generalized because programme documents and third-party converters are inconsistent.
Programmes and regulations covered
Panjab University departments, regional centres and affiliated colleges; programme regulations can differ.. The calculator scope is set by programme and regulation, not by the university name alone.

Exact SGPA and CGPA formula
Σ(Credits × Grade Point) ÷ Σ(Credits)
Multiply each included course’s credits by its grade point. Add the weighted points, add the included credits, then divide. For CGPA, use all counted courses across the semesters covered by your university record. A simple average of semester results is correct only when the counted credits match.
Included and excluded subjects
Included in the preset
Use the course and grade rule in the cited source before including an entry.
Excluded or needs checking
- Programme-specific non-credit and excluded courses must follow the applicable regulation.
A status can affect progression even when it does not enter CGPA. Check the regulation before removing a failed, repeated, withdrawn, audit or non-credit course.
CGPA to percentage conversion
No university-wide conversion is claimed for this record. Report the CGPA or obtain a conversion certificate from the university when one is required.
Conversion rules are not interchangeable. A formula from another university, batch or unofficial website does not replace the source linked below.
Target CGPA for the next semester
A target CGPA tool is not claimed for this record. Use the source rule and the general target CGPA guide when the regulation defines how cumulative credits are counted.
Worked example
Suppose three included courses carry 4, 3 and 2 credits with grade points 8, 9 and 7. The weighted points are 32, 27 and 14. Their total is 73 and the counted credits total 9, so the semester result is 73 ÷ 9 = 8.11 when displayed to two decimals.
This is an illustration, not an official PU transcript calculation. Replace the example values with the course credits and grade points that your regulation counts.
Common input mistakes
- Choosing a regulation because it gives a better result instead of matching your batch and programme.
- Entering marks where the calculator expects a grade point, or using the wrong university grade table.
- Including audit, pass/fail, withdrawal, exemption or non-credit entries without checking the source clause.
- Taking a simple average of semester SGPAs when the semesters have different counted credits.
- Rounding each intermediate value before the final division or conversion.
