About JSMU
Jinnah Sindh Medical University (JSMU) is a public sector medical university established in 2012 by the Government of Sindh in Karachi. It evolved from the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) — one of Pakistan's largest public hospitals — into a full-fledged HEC-chartered university. JSMU is the apex regulatory body for medical education in Sindh, overseeing affiliated medical colleges across the province.
JSMU is recognised by the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) and the Higher Education Commission (HEC). Its main affiliated hospitals include Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) and Civil Hospital Karachi, both among the largest tertiary care hospitals in Pakistan. The university also oversees and regulates numerous private and public affiliated medical and dental colleges in Sindh.
JSMU Grading Scale (Official 10-Grade System)
JSMU applies the HEC 4.0 grading scale for all BS Allied Health Sciences and postgraduate programmes. A+ and A are separate grades — both carry 4.00 grade points but A+ requires 90–100% and A requires 85–89%. MBBS and BDS programmes are assessed under PMC professional examination standards, not the HEC GPA system.

How to Calculate Your JSMU GPA
Your semester GPA at JSMU is calculated by multiplying each subject's grade points by its credit hours, summing all quality points, and dividing by the total credit hours for that semester.
GPA Formula: GPA = ∑(Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ ∑Credit Hours
Example: Medical Microbiology (3 cr, A = 4.00) + Pathology (4 cr, B+ = 3.33) + Pharmacology (3 cr, A- = 3.67) = (12.00 + 13.32 + 11.01) ÷ 10 = 3.63 GPA
