National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST) — % → CGPA

Forward formula: % = (CGPA × 25) − 12.5Source: NUST applies a university-specific HEC-equivalence conversion, Percentage = (CGPA × 25) − 12.5, reflecting its strict relative (bell-curve) grading — distinct from the plain HEC × 25 used by most universities. Confirm against your NUST examination office / equivalence certificate.Status: verifyLast verified: 2026-06-23 · NUST does NOT use the plain × 25. For HEC equivalence, government jobs and overseas applications it uses Percentage = (CGPA × 25) − 12.5 (e.g. 3.00 CGPA → 62.5%, 3.50 → 75%), because its relative grading makes a high CGPA statistically harder. NUST also uses an 8-grade scale with no minus grades. Some internal/private-sector uses still cite the plain × 25, so always confirm which method the receiving institution expects. For official use, request the equivalence certificate from the NUST Examination Branch.
This reverses the official CGPA→% formula. A percentage on a transcript is the authoritative figure; the back-calculated CGPA is an estimate. Always confirm with your university.

Converting National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST) percentage back to CGPA

National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST) (Pakistan (Islamabad)) officially converts CGPA to percentage with % = (CGPA × 25) − 12.5. This page inverts that formula so you can estimate the CGPA behind a known percentage — useful when a scholarship form, job portal or foreign application asks for CGPA but your marksheet only shows a percentage. Enter your percentage above and the calculator solves for the CGPA on the 4-point scale.

Worked example

The official National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST) formula is % = (CGPA × 25) − 12.5. To go the other way, you rearrange it to solve for CGPA. Starting from a percentage of 62.5%, the formula reverses to a CGPA of about 3 on the 4-point scale. You can check this by running 3 through the forward National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST) CGPA to percentage calculator — it returns 62.5%, confirming the two directions agree.

Why this is an estimate, not an official figure

A university issues your percentage from your actual CGPA, not the other way around — so reversing the formula recovers the CGPA that would produce that percentage. It matches in almost every case, but rounding on your transcript (for example a percentage printed to one decimal place) can shift the back-calculated CGPA slightly. When both numbers appear on your grade card, always quote the official CGPA rather than this estimate.
