Higher Education Commission (HEC), Policy Guidelines for Implementation of Uniform Semester System, section 13.1: 'the following equivalence of GPA/CGPA and percentage is recommended for adoption' — A 3.67–4.00 = 85 and above; A− 3.34–3.66 = 80–84; B+ 3.01–3.33 = 75–79; B 2.67–3.00 = 71–74; B− 2.34–2.66 = 68–70; C+ 2.01–2.33 = 64–67; C 1.67–2.00 = 61–63; C− 1.31–1.66 = 58–60; D+ 1.01–1.30 = 54–57; D 0.10–1.00 = 50–53; F 0.00 = below 50. 'A student getting any CGPA ... will be given the minimum of the corresponding percentage ... if a student gets a CGPA of 3.00, the percentage associated will be 71%.' Quaid-i-Azam University's own BS rules say the transcript 'will show credits, letter grade, CGPA and the overall percentage', with the percentage calculated from marks — QAU does not convert CGPA into a percentage.
ESTIMATE, NOT QAU'S OWN RULE. QAU prints an 'overall percentage' worked out from your marks on the transcript — use that figure, not a CGPA conversion. The earlier 'CGPA × 25 (HEC standard)' figure had no official source and is replaced.
