What is the HEC absolute grading scale?

The HEC absolute scale typically starts A at 85%, B at 71%, and C at 60%. However, individual universities may have slight variations.

Does this calculator work for relative grading?

For relative grading (like in NUST or FAST), your grade depends on the class average. This calculator provides the absolute baseline used by most institutions.

How to Predict Your Subject Grade

Predicting your final letter grade is essential for calculating your semester GPA early. In Pakistan, universities use two main grading systems: **Absolute Grading** and **Relative Grading**.

Absolute Grading (Standard)

Your grade is determined solely by your percentage marks. If you get 85%+, you get an A. Simple and transparent.

Relative Grading (Curving)

Used by NUST, FAST, and GIKI. Your grade depends on how the class performed. If the average is 50, a 70 might be an A.

Why This Matters

Most students focus only on final exams. However, sessional marks (quizzes, assignments, mid-terms) often carry 50-60% weightage. Use this tool to see what score you need in finals to secure your target grade.
