Converting HEC Pakistan — recommended CGPA equivalence table percentage back to CGPA
HEC Pakistan — recommended CGPA equivalence table (Pakistan (national)) officially converts CGPA to percentage with % = minimum of the HEC band for your CGPA (e.g. 3.00 → 71%) — HEC recommended equivalence table. This page inverts that formula so you can estimate the CGPA behind a known percentage. Enter your percentage above and the calculator solves for the CGPA on the 4-point scale.
Worked example
HEC Pakistan — recommended CGPA equivalence table converts by band: % = minimum of the HEC band for your CGPA (e.g. 3.00 → 71%) — HEC recommended equivalence table. A percentage of 71% covers a whole band of CGPAs, so it cannot be reversed to one number. The calculator shows the lowest CGPA that gives 71%, which is 2.67; a CGPA of 3 gives the same 71% in the forward HEC Pakistan — recommended CGPA equivalence table CGPA to percentage calculator. Quote the CGPA on your transcript rather than a back-calculated one.
Why this is an estimate, not an official figure
A college issues your percentage from your actual CGPA, not the other way around — so reversing the formula recovers the CGPA that would produce that percentage. When both numbers appear on your grade card, always quote the official CGPA rather than this estimate.

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.

UNCONFIRMED (status 'verify'). This page used to say 'CGPA × 25 — HEC standard'; no HEC document states × 25, and HEC's own table gives 3.00 → 71% (× 25 gave 75%). COMSATS formally adopted this same table from Fall 2021. Two open points: HEC's equivalence downloads page also lists a 'Notification regarding Stopping of Conversion of CGPA into Percentage', which has not yet been read, and an unsigned 'CGPA to Percentage Conversion Formula' (2018) with different bands circulates on some university sites. Your university's own transcript percentage, if printed, takes precedence.
