About GIKI
Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology (GIKI) is one of Pakistan's most prestigious engineering universities, located in Topi, District Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Established in 1993 under the GIK Trust — a public-private body — GIKI has consistently ranked among the top engineering institutions in Pakistan by HEC.
Known for its rigorous academic standards, residential campus environment, and industry ties, GIKI attracts students from across Pakistan through its highly competitive entry test (NET). Admission is strictly merit-based with one of the lowest acceptance rates among Pakistani engineering universities. All academic programmes are HEC-approved and the institute is fully chartered by HEC.
GIKI Grading Scale (Official 10-Grade System)
GIKI follows the HEC 4.0 absolute grading scale. A+ and A are separate grades — both carry 4.00 grade points but A+ covers 90–100% while A covers 85–89%. This 10-grade system applies across all BE, MS, and PhD programmes.
| Grade | Grade Points | Percentage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| A+ | 4.00 | 90–100% | Outstanding |
| A | 4.00 | 85–89% | Excellent |
| 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 |
How to Calculate Your GIKI GPA
To calculate your semester GPA at GIKI, multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours to get quality points, then divide the sum of quality points by the total credit hours for that semester.
GPA Formula: GPA = ∑(Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ ∑Credit Hours
Example: Thermodynamics (3 cr, A = 4.00) + Programming (4 cr, B+ = 3.33) + Calculus (3 cr, A- = 3.67) = (12.00 + 13.32 + 11.01) ÷ 10 = 3.63 GPA
How to Calculate Your GIKI CGPA
Your Cumulative GPA (CGPA) at GIKI is a weighted average of all semester GPAs across your BE or MS degree, with each semester weighted by its credit hours.
CGPA Formula: CGPA = ∑(Semester GPA × Semester Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours
Use the CGPA tab in the calculator above — enter each semester's GPA and credit hours for an instant cumulative result across all 8 semesters of your BE programme.
Convert GIKI CGPA to Percentage
HEC provides a standard conversion formula used by GIKI and all chartered universities for scholarship applications, foreign admissions, and job applications.
Formula: Percentage = (CGPA ÷ 4.0) × 100
| CGPA | Percentage | Class / Division |
|---|---|---|
| 3.80 – 4.00 | 95 – 100% | Distinction |
| 3.50 – 3.79 | 87.5 – 94.75% | First Class |
| 3.00 – 3.49 | 75 – 87.25% | First Class |
| 2.50 – 2.99 | 62.5 – 74.75% | Second Class |
| 2.00 – 2.49 | 50 – 62.25% | Pass Class |
GIKI Minimum CGPA Requirements & Probation
GIKI enforces strict academic standards. Students who fall below minimum CGPA thresholds are placed on academic probation. Continued failure to meet the threshold may result in dismissal from the programme.
| Programme Level | Minimum CGPA | Consequence if Below |
|---|---|---|
| BE (Undergraduate) | 2.00 | Academic Probation |
| MS / MPhil | 2.50 | Academic Probation |
| PhD | 3.00 | Dismissal Risk |
A student on probation must raise their CGPA to the required level within the next semester. GIKI's academic standards are among the strictest in Pakistan — maintaining a strong semester GPA from the start is highly recommended.
GIKI Dean’s List & Academic Distinctions
GIKI recognises high-achieving students each semester through its Dean's List and related academic honours. These distinctions appear on official transcripts and are highly valued by top employers and graduate schools.
| Award | CGPA Requirement | Additional Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Dean’s List | 3.50+ | No F or W grade, full course load |
| Rector’s List | 3.80+ | No F or W grade, no academic warnings |
| Gold Medal (Convocation) | Highest CGPA in Discipline | First attempt, no repeated courses |
GIKI Campus & Programmes
GIKI operates as a fully residential campus in Topi, Swabi, KPK — all students live on campus during their degree. The institute has state-of-the-art engineering labs, workshops, and research facilities funded by industry partners and the GIK Trust.
Engineering Disciplines (BE — 4 years):
- Mechanical Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Computer Systems Engineering

- Materials & Surface Engineering
- Electronic Engineering
- MS & PhD programmes in all disciplines
GIKI is open to male and female students. Separate hostel facilities are available. Admissions are conducted through GIKI's own National Engineering Test (NET) held annually.
Absolute vs Relative Grading at GIKI
GIKI uses an absolute grading system as mandated by HEC. Grades are assigned based on fixed percentage thresholds — your grade does not depend on how your classmates performed.
| System | How Grade is Set | Used at GIKI? |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute Grading | Fixed marks thresholds (A+ = 90–100%) | ✓ Yes (Standard) |
| Relative / Bell-curve | Based on class performance distribution | ✗ Not standard |
Because GIKI's courses are highly technical and demanding, scoring in the A range is competitive in practice — but the grading threshold itself is fixed, not relative.
How to Check Your GPA on the GIKI Portal
GIKI students can access their semester results, GPA, and CGPA through the university's student information portal using credentials issued at the time of registration.
- Visit the GIKI official website and navigate to the Student Portal section.
- Log in with your student roll number and assigned password.
- Go to Academic Results or Transcript section.
- Your semester GPA and cumulative CGPA are displayed for each completed semester.
- Download or print your unofficial transcript from the portal for reference.
For official transcripts, contact the GIKI Registrar's office. Processing time is typically 5–7 working days. Transcripts for foreign university applications require HEC attestation.
GIKI Admission Aggregate & Merit Calculator
GIKI admission is among the most competitive in Pakistan. The aggregate is calculated using FSc marks and the GIKI National Engineering Test (NET) score. Minimum FSc marks and minimum NET score thresholds apply.
GIKI Aggregate Formula:
Matric: 10% | FSc / HSSC (Pre-Engineering): 40% | GIKI NET Score: 50%
A minimum of 60% in FSc (Pre-Engineering) is typically required to sit the NET. The NET tests Mathematics, Physics, English, and Analytical Reasoning. Minimum aggregate for admission varies by discipline and changes annually based on merit. Check the GIKI admissions page for current cutoffs.

What is the minimum CGPA to pass at GIKI?
The minimum CGPA is 2.00 for BE undergraduate programmes. Students who fall below 2.00 are placed on academic probation and must raise their CGPA within the following semester, or risk dismissal from the programme.
How do I convert my GIKI CGPA to percentage?
Use the HEC formula: Percentage = (CGPA ÷ 4.0) × 100. For example, a CGPA of 3.5 = 87.5%. Use our CGPA to Percentage converter for instant conversion.
Is GIKI a residential university?
Yes. GIKI is a fully residential institution in Topi, Swabi. All enrolled students are required to live on campus throughout their degree. Separate hostel facilities are provided for male and female students, with dining, sports, and recreational facilities included.
