What is a NU / 7-College CGPA Calculator?

The NU CGPA Calculator is a free tool purpose-built for National University (NU) and 7-College (Dhaka University affiliated) students. It computes your credit-weighted CGPA on the official 4.00 scale exactly the way the board does — so the number you see matches your transcript.

Unlike generic GPA tools, this calculator uses the NU/7-College grade bands (A+ at 80%+, A at 75–79, down to F at <40%) and credit-weights every course so a 4-credit subject carries more weight than a 1-credit lab. Covers honors, masters, and professional programs.

Instant results, zero signup, 100% in your browser. Add as many courses as you like, export or share your CGPA, and verify your transcript in seconds.

How the NU CGPA Calculator Works

Step 1 — Pick Institution: Choose National University (NU) or 7-College (DU Affiliated).
Step 2 — Add Courses: Enter each course with its credit hours and letter grade.
Step 3 — Credit Weighting: The tool weights each course by credits for accurate CGPA.
Step 4 — Final CGPA: See CGPA on 4.00 scale with Class classification and course breakdown.

The CGPA Formula

CGPA = Sum(credit × grade point) / Sum(credits)

Each course's grade point is looked up from the NU/7-College grade scale (A+ = 4.00 at 80+, A = 3.75 at 75–79, A- = 3.50 at 70–74, B+ = 3.25 at 65–69, B = 3.00 at 60–64, B- = 2.75, C+ = 2.50, C = 2.25, D = 2.00, F = 0.00).

Real-World Example

Calculation In Practice

Worked example — 4-course semester:

  • CSE-101 (3 credits) — A+ → 3 × 4.00 = 12.00
  • MAT-101 (3 credits) — B+ → 3 × 3.25 = 9.75
  • ENG-101 (2 credits) — A → 2 × 3.75 = 7.50
  • PHY-101 (4 credits) — A- → 4 × 3.50 = 14.00

Total credits: 12. Total quality points: 43.25. CGPA = 43.25 / 12 = 3.60 (First Class).
