Each table comes from a page we opened on 4 November 2026, and says which page that is.
UGC uniform grading system
UGC recommended this scale for universities from session 2006-07. The University of Rajshahi's page says so and says it follows the scale, and Nuffic's page on Bangladesh gives the same bands. Status: confirmed by both.
| Marks | Grade | Grade point |
|---|---|---|
| 80% and above | A+ | 4.00 |
| 75 to below 80% | A | 3.75 |
| 70 to below 75% | A- | 3.50 |
| 65 to below 70% | B+ | 3.25 |
| 60 to below 65% | B | 3.00 |
| 55 to below 60% | B- | 2.75 |
| 50 to below 55% | C+ | 2.50 |
| 45 to below 50% | C | 2.25 |
| 40 to below 45% | D | 2.00 |
| Below 40% | F | 0 |
The scale also lists I (incomplete) and W (withdrawn), with no grade point.
SSC and HSC grades
From Nuffic: the boards mark each SSC and HSC subject, and each subject of the equivalent Dakhil and Alim, as a percentage, and grade it on this table. Status: confirmed.
| Marks | Grade | Grade point |
|---|---|---|
| 80 to 100 | A+ | 5 |
| 70 to 79 | A | 4 |
| 60 to 69 | A- | 3.5 |
| 50 to 59 | B | 3 |
| 40 to 49 | C | 2 |
| 33 to 39 | D | 1 |
| 0 to 32 | F | 0 |
Nuffic prints whole marks, so the lookup keeps a mark like 79.5 in the lower row and says so. SSC has at least 9 exam subjects, and HSC has 6 or 7, including a group of 3 or 4 (Nuffic).
Classes and divisions
From two Ministry of Education notifications, in a PDF linked from the Rajshahi Education Board's page. Status: confirmed.
University CGPA to class, 2 June 2009
| Class | Percentage, as printed | CGPA on a 4-point scale, worked out | CGPA on a 5-point scale, worked out |
|---|---|---|---|
| First class | 60% and above | 3.00 and above | 3.75 and above |
| Second class | 45% to below 60% | 2.25 to below 3.00 | 2.8125 to below 3.75 |
| Third class | 33% to below 45% | 1.65 to below 2.25 | 2.0625 to below 2.8125 |
The top of the scale counts as 80% marks, so the percentage is 80 ÷ scale × CGPA. The CGPA columns are worked out from that rule.
SSC and HSC GPA to division, 2 March 2010
| Division | GPA, as printed |
|---|---|
| First division | 3.00 and above |
| Second division | 2.00 to below 3.00 |
| Third division | 1.00 to below 2.00 |
For SSC, HSC and equivalent exams, until further order. Below 1.00 the notification gives no division.
