Absolute vs Relative Grading at LCWU
LCWU follows absolute grading across all its programmes, as mandated by HEC Pakistan. Each grade corresponds to a fixed percentage threshold — a score of 85% or above always earns an A (4.00 grade points), regardless of how the class performs. There is no bell-curve adjustment or result normalisation.
Absolute grading ensures that LCWU graduates' GPAs are directly comparable with those from other HEC universities across Pakistan when applying for PPSC/FPSC positions, government jobs, or postgraduate admissions.
