HEC Standard (all Pakistani universities)
CGPA to percentage

HEC Standard (all Pakistani universities) — CGPA → %

Formula: % = CGPA × 25Source: Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan — standard 4.0-scale to percentage conversion (Percentage = CGPA × 25), used across HEC-recognised universities for transcripts, government employment and scholarships.Status: verifiedLast verified: 2026-06-23 · Two methods exist. (1) The widely-used approximation: Percentage = CGPA × 25 (4.0 → 100%, 3.0 → 75%, 2.0 → 50%) — simple, and what most transcripts and job forms cite. (2) The official HEC equivalence table, used for HEC-attested equivalence certificates, is a piecewise band: 3.63–4.00 → 90–100%; 3.25–3.62 → 80–89%; 2.88–3.24 → 70–79%; 2.50–2.87 → 60–69%; 1.80–2.49 → 50–59%; 1.00–1.79 → 40–49%. The two can disagree (e.g. 3.50 is 87.5% by ×25 but falls in the 80–89% band officially). This calculator uses ×25; for an official HEC-attested equivalence certificate, use the band table or request the certificate via HEC eServices. A few universities deviate (e.g. NUST uses (CGPA×25)−12.5). Always confirm against your own transcript/department.
Always confirm against your official grade card / university circular before using for applications.
