AIOU CGPA Calculation Formula

Official mathematical equations for SGPA, CGPA, and Percentage Conversion

Semester Level4-point

SGPA Formula

Calculates single semester grade performance weighted by subject credits:

SGPA = Σ(Ci × GPi) / ΣCi
Where Ci = Course Credits, GPi = Grade Points secured.
Cumulative LevelAll Semesters

CGPA Formula

Weighted average of all completed semesters up to current session:

CGPA = Σ(SGPAj × Cj) / ΣCj
Where SGPAj = Semester SGPA, Cj = Total Semester Credits.
Official EquivalenceAIOU Ordinance

Percentage Conversion

Official institutional formula to derive aggregate percentage:

Percentage (%) = (CGPA / 4.0) × 100
Standard official formula recognized for recruitment, higher admissions & competitive exams.
Important Regulatory Rule: At Allama Iqbal Open University, grade points are awarded based on both continuous internal assessments and semester-end examinations. Cumulative GPA (CGPA) is not a simple arithmetic average of semester SGPAs, but a credit-weighted aggregate across all earned credits.

How Allama Iqbal Open University Calculates CGPA

Step-by-step academic evaluation procedure with a worked practical example

1

Obtain Letter Grades

Based on total marks in theory and practicals, the student receives letter grades corresponding to official grade points on a 4.0 scale.

2

Multiply Course Credits

Multiply each course's credit hours by the numeric grade points obtained to find the Quality Credit Points (Credits × Grade Point).

3

Compute Semester SGPA

Divide total quality credit points earned in the term by the total registered semester credits: SGPA = Total Points / Total Credits.

4

Calculate Final CGPA

Aggregate all semester credit points and divide by total completed degree credits to yield cumulative CGPA and equivalent percentage.
