Frequently Asked Questions

What grading scale does KU use?
KU uses a 4.0 scale: A (90–100) = 4.0, A- (85–89) = 3.7, B+ (80–84) = 3.3, B (75–79) = 3.0, B- (70–74) = 2.7, C+ (65–69) = 2.3, C (60–64) = 2.0, C- (55–59) = 1.7, D+ (50–54) = 1.3, D (45–49) = 1.0, F (<45) = 0.0.
How does KU weight in-semester and end-semester exams?
KU typically weights in-semester assessment at 40% and end-semester examination at 60% of the total marks for each subject.

What is KU SGPA?

SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is the average grade point for courses taken in a single semester at Kathmandu University. It reflects your academic performance for that semester and is calculated by multiplying each course's grade point by its credit hours, summing these values, and dividing by total credit hours.

What is KU CGPA?

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the weighted average of all SGPAs across all semesters completed at Kathmandu University. Employers, graduate schools, and scholarship committees typically review CGPA as it represents your overall academic performance throughout your degree program.

KU GPA Formula

Both SGPA and CGPA use the same weighted calculation method:

GPA = Σ(Grade Point × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours

Where:

  • Grade Point: The numerical value of the letter grade (A=4.0, A-=3.7, B+=3.3, etc.)
  • Credit Hours: The number of credits assigned to the course
  • Total: Sum of all (Grade Point × Credit Hours) divided by total credit hours attempted

Worked Example for Kathmandu University

If a KU student earns A- (3.7) in a 3-credit course, B+ (3.3) in a 4-credit course, and B (3.0) in another 3-credit course, the semester GPA is:

  • 3.7 × 3 = 11.1 quality points
  • 3.3 × 4 = 13.2 quality points
  • 3.0 × 3 = 9.0 quality points
  • Total = 33.3 quality points ÷ 10 credits = 3.33 SGPA

For final CGPA, repeat the same weighted calculation across all KU semesters. Read the KU Grading System guide for grade boundaries and honours context.

KU Grading Scale and Grade Points

Kathmandu University uses a standard 4.0 GPA scale. Here's the complete grading scale:

Letter Grade Percentage Range Grade Point Meaning
A 90–100 4.0 Excellent
A- 85–89 3.7 Excellent
B+ 80–84 3.3 Very Good

B- 70–74 2.7 Good
C+ 65–69 2.3 Satisfactory
C 60–64 2.0 Satisfactory
C- 55–59 1.7 Satisfactory
D+ 50–54 1.3 Passing
D 45–49 1.0 Passing
F Below 45 0.0 Fail

How KU Calculates CGPA

For CGPA calculation, KU weight each semester GPA by its credit hours:

  1. Calculate SGPA for each semester using the weighted formula
  2. Multiply each semester's SGPA by its total credit hours
  3. Sum all weighted semester GPAs
  4. Divide by total credit hours across all semesters

Note: The year-wise toggle in the calculator is optional—use semester-wise view for accurate CGPA calculation, which is the standard KU method.
