COMSATS Grading System

Understanding the grading system of your university is crucial for tracking your academic progress and planning your studies effectively. For students at the COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, the GPA system is a key component in measuring academic performance. This blog provides a detailed explanation of the COMSATS GPA system, including the calculation methods and the grading scale.

Absolute Grading System

COMSATS employs an absolute grading system to assess student performance. Unlike relative grading systems, where grades are assigned based on a comparison with peers, the absolute grading system awards grades based on predetermined thresholds. This ensures that students are evaluated strictly on their individual performance.

Breakdown of Marks

The GPA in each subject at COMSATS is calculated based on three main components:

  1. Midterm Exams (25%): Midterm exams are held midway through the semester and contribute 25% to the final grade.
  2. Quizzes and Assignment (25%): Regular quizzes and assignments throughout the semester make up another 25% of the final grade.
  3. Final Exams(50%): The final exams, held at the end of the semester, have the most significant weight, contributing 50% to the final grade.

This distribution ensures a balanced evaluation, considering both continuous assessment and performance in comprehensive exams.

Grading Scale

Grade Marks(%) GPA
A 85 and above 4
A- 80-84 3.66
B+ 75-79 3.33
B 71-74 3.00
B- 68-70 2.66
C+ 64-67 2.33
C 61-63 2.00
C- 58-60 1.66
D+ 54-57 1.33
D 50-53 1.00
F 0-49 0 (Fail)

These GPA values are awarded based on the percentage of marks obtained in a subject. For instance, scoring 85% or above in a subject will earn you a perfect GPA of 4.00 for that course.

GPA and CGPA Calculation

The Grade Point Average (GPA) for a semester is calculated using the following general formula:

GPA = (∑ (Grade Points * Credit Hours)) / (∑ Credit Hours)

Where:

The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is the weighted average of the GPA scores of all semesters completed so far. It is calculated using the formula:

CGPA = (∑ (GPA of each semester * Credit Hours of each semester)) / (∑ Credit Hours of all semesters)

Both GPA and CGPA provide a comprehensive overview of a student’s academic performance, with the CGPA reflecting the overall performance across multiple semesters.

Conclusion

Understanding the GPA system at COMSATS is essential for academic planning and performance tracking. The absolute grading system, combined with a clear breakdown of assessment components, ensures that students can focus on both continuous learning and final examinations. By maintaining a consistent performance across all components, students can achieve their desired GPA and CGPA, paving the way for academic success and future opportunities.
