Minimum CGPA Requirements: Undergraduate students must maintain CGPA ≥ 2.0. Graduate (Master's) students must maintain CGPA ≥ 3.0. Students falling below these thresholds may be dismissed from the program. For credit transfer, a minimum grade of B (UG) or B+ (PG) is required.
PU GPA Formulas Explained
SGPA Formula
SGPA = Σ(GP × CH) ÷ ΣCH
GP = Grade Point of subject
CH = Credit Hours of subject
CH = Credit Hours of subject
Example: A(4.0)×3CH + B+(3.3)×3CH = 12+9.9 = 21.9 ÷ 6 = 3.65 SGPA
CGPA Formula
CGPA = Σ(SGPA × CH) ÷ ΣCH
Weighted average of all semester SGPAs based on credit hours per semester
Example: Sem1: 3.5×16CH + Sem2: 3.8×18CH = 56+68.4 = 124.4 ÷ 34 = 3.66 CGPA
GPA to Percentage
Percentage = GPA × 25
3.60 GPA → 90% | 3.00 GPA → 75%
Same formula accepted by TU, NEB, PU, KU in Nepal
Honor Points (per course)
HP = GP × Credit Hours
Each subject's contribution to total SGPA
Example: Grade A (4.0) in 3 CH subject = 12 honor points

Frequently Asked Questions
Pokhara University uses a 4.0 GPA scale. Letter grades range from A (4.0) down to F (0.0), with intermediate grades like A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D. Academic performance is measured as SGPA per semester and CGPA overall. The grading scale is shared across all PU faculties including Management, Science & Technology, Health Sciences, and Humanities.
For undergraduate (UG) programs, students must maintain a CGPA of at least 2.0 to remain in good standing. For graduate (Master's/PG) programs, the minimum is 3.0 CGPA. Students whose performance does not show the possibility of reaching these thresholds may be dismissed from the program. Individual subject passing grade is C- (1.7) for most UG programs.
SGPA = Σ(Grade Point × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours for that semester.
Example: If you take 5 subjects — Mathematics (3 CH, A = 4.0), Physics (3 CH, B+ = 3.3), Chemistry (3 CH, A- = 3.7), English (3 CH, B = 3.0), Nepali (4 CH, B+ = 3.3):
Total Honor Points = (3×4.0) + (3×3.3) + (3×3.7) + (3×3.0) + (4×3.3) = 12 + 9.9 + 11.1 + 9 + 13.2 = 55.2
Total CH = 16 → SGPA = 55.2 ÷ 16 = 3.45 (Distinction level)
Example: If you take 5 subjects — Mathematics (3 CH, A = 4.0), Physics (3 CH, B+ = 3.3), Chemistry (3 CH, A- = 3.7), English (3 CH, B = 3.0), Nepali (4 CH, B+ = 3.3):
Total Honor Points = (3×4.0) + (3×3.3) + (3×3.7) + (3×3.0) + (4×3.3) = 12 + 9.9 + 11.1 + 9 + 13.2 = 55.2
Total CH = 16 → SGPA = 55.2 ÷ 16 = 3.45 (Distinction level)
At the undergraduate level, Distinction is awarded for a CGPA of 3.60 or above. At the graduate level, the Distinction threshold is 3.75 CGPA. The Dean's List recognition is typically given to students with 3.7+ CGPA (UG) or 3.8+ CGPA (PG) per semester. This is stricter than Tribhuvan University, where Distinction starts at 3.30 CGPA.
The widely accepted formula in Nepal is: Percentage = GPA × 25. So a 3.6 GPA = 90%, a 3.0 GPA = 75%, and a 2.0 GPA = 50%. This formula is accepted by Lok Sewa Aayog, most Nepali employers, and many foreign universities. PU does not officially publish a single percentage conversion formula, so this standard Nepal formula is used. For formal use, always attach your official PU transcript alongside the calculated percentage.
SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) is the GPA for a single semester — it is calculated only from that semester's courses and credit hours.
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the weighted average of all SGPA values across all semesters completed, weighted by the credit hours of each semester. CGPA = Σ(SGPA × Semester Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours. Your CGPA appears on your final degree certificate and is what employers and foreign universities look at.

Yes, PU allows credit transfer of up to 25% of total course credit hours from an equivalent program at a recognized institution. For incoming transfers, a minimum grade of B or better in the respective course is required. Courses completed more than five years earlier may not be accepted. For transfers between PU programs, all compatible courses completed with at least grade C (UG) or grade B (PG) may be transferred.
Yes. The GPA × 25 percentage conversion is accepted by the Lok Sewa Aayog (Public Service Commission) for PU graduates. On application forms, write it as: "3.2 CGPA (80%) — First Division, Pokhara University". For government job posts requiring a specific division (First, Second), verify which CGPA threshold maps to that division using the table above.
