MBBS/BDS Students — PMC System, Not CGPA
GIMS MBBS and BDS programmes are assessed under the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) professional examination system — not the HEC 4.0 CGPA scale. Your MBBS progress is measured by passing Professional Part-I, Part-II, and Final Professional exams. This GPA/CGPA calculator applies only to BS Allied Health Sciences and postgraduate programmes at GIMS.

About Gajju Khan Medical Institute
Gajju Khan Medical Institute (GIMS) is a public medical college established by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, located in Swabi district — a rapidly developing district in northern KPK, situated between Mardan and Nowshera in the Peshawar Division. GIMS was established to extend public sector medical education to the greater Swabi and Mardan region, reducing the pressure on existing medical colleges in Peshawar and Mardan and giving local students access to MBBS education closer to home.
The institute is named after Gajju Khan — a historical figure celebrated in the cultural memory of the Swabi and Mardan region. Swabi district itself has a strong tradition of producing military officers and civil servants, and the establishment of a medical college there reflects the district's aspirations to expand its representation in the professional healthcare sector as well. GIMS is affiliated with the University of Health Sciences Peshawar or the relevant KPK medical university, and all its medical programmes are regulated by the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC).
GIMS offers MBBS as its flagship programme, along with BS Allied Health Sciences disciplines that operate under the HEC 4.0 CGPA grading framework. Students enrolled in MBBS or BDS at GIMS do not receive a traditional CGPA — their progress is measured through PMC-regulated professional examinations. Students in BS programmes follow the standard HEC semester system and receive a CGPA on the 4.0 scale.
GIMS Grading Scale (Official 10-Grade System)

How to Calculate Your GIMS GPA
This calculator applies to BS Allied Health Sciences students at GIMS. Your semester GPA is the credit-weighted average of grade points earned across all subjects in that semester.
GPA Formula: GPA = ∑(Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ ∑Credit Hours
Example (BS Physical Therapy Semester 3): Anatomy (3 cr, A = 4.00) + Physiology (3 cr, B+ = 3.33) + Pathology (3 cr, A- = 3.67) + Clinical Lab (2 cr, A+ = 4.00) = (12.00 + 9.99 + 11.01 + 8.00) ÷ 11 = 3.73 GPA
How to Calculate Your GIMS CGPA
For BS Allied Health Sciences students, the CGPA is the credit-weighted average of all semester GPAs across the programme duration.
CGPA Formula: CGPA = ∑(Semester GPA × Semester Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours
Use the CGPA tab above — enter each semester's GPA and credit hours for an instant cumulative result. BS Allied Health programmes at GIMS run over 4–5 years depending on discipline. Clinical rotations in the later years carry significant credit hours.
Convert GIMS CGPA to Percentage
Use the HEC formula to convert your BS Allied Health CGPA to a percentage for job applications and MS admissions. MBBS students do not have a CGPA to convert — your professional exam results are expressed as pass/fail and percentage marks per professional.
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 |
GIMS Minimum CGPA Requirements & Probation
For BS Allied Health Sciences students, GIMS enforces HEC-mandated minimum CGPA thresholds. MBBS students must pass each PMC professional examination within the permitted attempts — failure to pass within the maximum attempts leads to dismissal from the programme.

| MBBS / BDS | Pass each PMC Professional Exam | Repeat year / Dismissal after max attempts |
| BS Allied Health Sciences | 2.00 CGPA | Academic Probation |
