Is 2.5 CGPA Good in Pakistan?
Short answer: A 2.5 CGPA is satisfactory, not strong. It is above the 2.00 graduation floor in most universities, so it keeps you eligible to graduate. It is below the 3.00 bar used by many employers and MS programs. If you have semesters left, a 2.5 can still be raised. Use the target CGPA calculator to see what average you need in your remaining credits.
Formula
GPA equals total quality points divided by total credit hours. CGPA equals total quality points across all semesters divided by total credit hours. Quality points for a course equal grade points times credit hours.
Worked example
| Course | Credit hours | Grade | Grade points | Quality points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 3 | A (4.00) | 4.00 | 12.00 |
| Physics | 3 | B+ (3.33) | 3.33 | 9.99 |
| English | 2 | A- (3.67) | 3.67 | 7.34 |
| Lab | 1 | B (3.00) | 3.00 | 3.00 |
| Total | 9 | 32.33 |
GPA equals 32.33 divided by 9, which is 3.59.
