Note about grading systems in Pakistan

• Minimum passing marks differ from degree program to degree program, and university to university.
• Minimum passing marks required in a subject range from 30% to 50% depending on the major, whether the subject has a practical examination as well as whether the examination is solely external or is also internally assessed. A note of caution is that not all universities have adopted such a system and there is no uniformity in the system as to what a grade means.
• The grading system employed is usually given on the front or back of the academic results document. Below are some of them. Please check the transcript.

Grading Scale 1 (Passing grade at 50%)

Grading Scale 2

Grading Scale 3

Typical 4-point grading scale

(but please note, grading scales differ from university to university)

Grading Scale 2

Please note:
*The information above is not complete, but rather represents the most common credentials and grading scales from this country. Check your transcripts for your institutional grading scale and if different, please upload it with your academic records.

*CHED does not prescribe grading scales at the higher education level, so the country’s HEIs use many grading scales. The most common grading system is a scale ranging from 1.0 to 5.0, where 1.0 is the highest grade, 5.0 the lowest and 3.0 is the passing grade. When a 4.0 or “conditional fail” grade is given, the student has the opportunity to retake the class or pass a make-up exam. If successful, the student receives a passing grade of 3.0; otherwise, a failing grade of 5.0 is assigned.

*There is no grade of D in Vietnam. However, a grade of 4, which is normally a failing grade, may be accepted as a “condoned pass” (U.S. grade of D) provided the overall grade average for the year is 5.0/10, or higher. This is at the discretion of the institution’s administrators, and, at the post-secondary level, students may be required to re-take, in a future term, the course for which they received a “condoned pass.”
