About Mirpur University of Science and Technology
Mirpur University of Science and Technology (MUST) is a public HEC-chartered university located in Mirpur, Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan. Established in 2013, MUST evolved from Mirpur University College of Engineering & Technology (MUCET) and is now one of the premier universities of Azad Kashmir, offering engineering, computing, science, and management programmes.
MUST follows the standard HEC 4.0 grading scale and operates on a semester system. The university serves a large student body from across AJK and has strong ties with the Mirpuri diaspora community — Mirpur is home to one of the largest British-Pakistani populations in the UK, many of whom support higher education development in the city.
The university offers undergraduate (BE/BS) and postgraduate (MS/MPhil/PhD) programmes and is governed by the AJK government in accordance with HEC guidelines. Its engineering programmes are particularly sought-after among AJK students.
MUST Grading Scale (Official 10-Grade System)
MUST follows the standard HEC 4.0 ten-grade scale, uniform across all HEC-chartered universities in Pakistan:
| Grade | Grade Points | Percentage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| A+ / A | 4.00 | 85–100% | Excellent / Outstanding |
| A- | 3.67 | 80–84% | Very Good |
| B+ | 3.33 | 75–79% | Good |
| B | 3.00 | 70–74% | Above Average |
| B- | 2.67 | 65–69% | Average |
| C+ | 2.33 | 60–64% | Below Average |
| C | 2.00 | 55–59% | Satisfactory |
| C- | 1.67 | 50–54% | Pass |
| D | 1.00 | 45–49% | Minimum Pass |
| F | 0.00 | Below 45% | Fail |
Grades C- and above (1.67+) are passing grades at MUST. Engineering programmes may have specific minimum-grade requirements in core courses — confirm with your department's academic coordinator.
How to Calculate Your MUST GPA
Your MUST semester GPA is a weighted average of grade points across all enrolled courses:
- Find the grade points for each course (e.g., A = 4.00, B+ = 3.33).
- Multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours to get Quality Points.
- Add all Quality Points together.
- Divide by total credit hours enrolled that semester.
Formula: GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Σ(Credit Hours)
Example: Circuit Analysis (3 cr, A = 4.00) + Engineering Math (3 cr, B+ = 3.33) + Programming (2 cr, A- = 3.67): Quality Points = 12.00 + 9.99 + 7.34 = 29.33. Total Credits = 8. GPA = 29.33 ÷ 8 = 3.67.
How to Calculate Your MUST CGPA
Your MUST Cumulative GPA (CGPA) tracks your academic performance across all completed semesters:
CGPA Formula: CGPA = Total Quality Points (All Semesters) ÷ Total Credit Hours Completed
To use the CGPA tab above, enter each semester's GPA and total credit hours. The calculator applies the weighted formula automatically to produce your cumulative CGPA.
Note: MUST calculates CGPA at the end of each semester. For repeated courses, check with your academic advisor on the repeat-grade replacement policy.
Convert MUST CGPA to Percentage
For job applications, scholarships, or government forms requiring percentage, use the HEC-approved formula:
Percentage = (CGPA ÷ 4.0) × 100
| MUST CGPA | Equivalent Percentage | Division |
|---|---|---|
| 3.50 – 4.00 | 87.5% – 100% | First Division (Distinction) |
| 3.00 – 3.49 | 75.0% – 87.2% | First Division |
| 2.50 – 2.99 | 62.5% – 74.7% | Second Division |
| 2.00 – 2.49 | 50.0% – 62.2% | Pass |
| Below 2.00 | Below 50% | Probation / Fail |
Use our CGPA to Percentage Converter for quick calculations. Confirm with MUST's examinations department when submitting official figures.
MUST Minimum CGPA Requirements & Probation
MUST follows HEC-mandated minimum CGPA standards for all degree programmes:
| Programme Level | Minimum CGPA | Status if Below |
|---|---|---|
| BE / BS (4-year) | 2.00 | Academic Probation |
| MS / MPhil | 2.50 | Warning / Probation |
| PhD | 3.00 | Probation |
Students placed on academic probation must improve their CGPA within the following one or two semesters. Continued probation may lead to academic dismissal. Contact the MUST controller of examinations for full details of the probation policy.
MUST Dean’s List & Academic Distinctions
MUST recognises outstanding academic performance through merit awards and honours at its annual convocation. Typical thresholds for distinctions are:
| Distinction | CGPA Requirement | Additional Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Dean's List | 3.50+ | No F or W grade in the semester |
| Merit Scholarship | 3.50+ | Maintained for consecutive semesters |
| Gold Medal (Convocation) | Highest CGPA in batch | No academic misconduct record |
| Silver Medal | 2nd highest CGPA in batch | Full programme completion |
Exact criteria may vary by department and academic year. Confirm current requirements with the MUST Dean's office before each semester.
MUST Campus & Programmes
MUST's main campus is located in Mirpur, AJK, with modern engineering laboratories, computing facilities, a central library, sports grounds, and student hostels. The university offers programmes across several faculties:

Absolute vs Relative Grading at MUST
MUST primarily uses absolute grading, where fixed percentage ranges correspond to fixed letter grades regardless of class performance:
| Approach | How It Works | Implication for Students |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute Grading (standard MUST) | Fixed percentage thresholds define grades (e.g., 85%+ = A) | Your grade depends only on your own marks, not classmates' performance |
| Relative Grading (curve-based) | Grade distribution adjusted to class average | A high-scoring class may see grade thresholds shift upward |
Most MUST departments follow absolute grading as per HEC guidelines. In some engineering lab or project courses, instructors may apply adjusted marking criteria. Confirm with your course instructor at the start of each semester.

| Programme | Typical Minimum Aggregate / CGPA |
|---|---|
| BE Civil / Electrical / Mechanical / Computer Engineering | 60% aggregate (FSc Pre-Engineering) |
| BS Computer Science / BS Software Engineering | 60% aggregate (FSc Pre-Engineering or Computer Science) |
| BS Information Technology | 55% aggregate (FSc any group) |
| BBA | 50% aggregate (FA/FSc any group) |
| MS / MPhil | Relevant BS/BE; minimum 2.0 CGPA |
| PhD | Relevant MPhil/MS; minimum 3.0 CGPA |
AJK domicile holders may benefit from regional merit quota seats. Always check the official MUST admissions portal for the current year's criteria before applying.
