About Peoples University of Medical and Health Sciences
Peoples University of Medical and Health Sciences (PUMHS), located in Nawabshah (Shaheed Benazirabad), Sindh, is a public medical university established and administered by the Government of Sindh. The university was created to expand access to quality medical and health sciences education in interior Sindh — one of Pakistan's most underserved regions for healthcare professionals. PUMHS is recognised by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan and is affiliated with Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) for its medical and dental programmes.
PUMHS's primary mission is to produce qualified doctors, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, and allied health professionals to serve the healthcare needs of Sindh's rural and semi-urban population. The university maintains affiliated teaching hospitals that provide clinical training to its students. PUMHS follows the semester system for applicable programmes and applies the HEC 4.0 grading scale across its non-clinical and clinical assessment components where semester GPA is used.
Students at PUMHS should confirm with their department whether GPA-based semester grading or professional examination marks apply to their specific programme year, as medical degree programmes (MBBS, BDS) often have different assessment frameworks regulated by PMC alongside HEC guidelines.
PUMHS Grading Scale (Official 10-Grade System)
PUMHS follows the HEC-standard 10-grade 4.0 scale for HEC-regulated programmes. For PMC-regulated medical and dental degrees, the professional examination assessment system may differ — consult your department:
| 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 |
The minimum passing grade is D (45–49%, 1.00 grade point). Note: for clinical professional programmes such as MBBS, the Pakistan Medical Commission mandates a minimum 50% pass mark in each subject for professional examinations.
How to Calculate Your PUMHS GPA
For semester-based programmes at PUMHS, the GPA is a credit-weighted average of all enrolled courses in a semester:
- Find the grade point for each course (e.g., A = 4.00, B+ = 3.33, C = 2.00).
- Multiply each grade point by the course's credit hours to get Quality Points.
- Sum all Quality Points for the semester.
- Divide by total credit hours enrolled that semester.
Formula: GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Σ(Credit Hours)
Example (Pharm-D Year 1 Sem 1): Pharmaceutics-I (3 cr, A = 4.00) + Pharmacognosy-I (3 cr, B+ = 3.33) + Biochemistry (3 cr, A- = 3.67) + Islamic Studies (2 cr, A = 4.00): QP = 12.00 + 9.99 + 11.01 + 8.00 = 41.00. Credits = 11. GPA = 41.00 ÷ 11 = 3.73.
How to Calculate Your PUMHS CGPA
Your cumulative GPA (CGPA) at PUMHS tracks academic performance across all completed semesters:
CGPA Formula: CGPA = Total Quality Points (All Semesters) ÷ Total Credit Hours Completed
Use the CGPA tab in the calculator above — enter each semester's GPA and credit hours to compute your cumulative CGPA automatically.
Example: Semester 1: GPA 3.73, 11 cr (41.03 QP). Semester 2: GPA 3.40, 12 cr (40.80 QP). CGPA = 81.83 ÷ 23 = 3.56.
Convert PUMHS CGPA to Percentage
For job applications, government forms, or postgraduate admissions requiring a percentage, use the HEC-approved conversion:
Percentage = (CGPA ÷ 4.0) × 100
| PUMHS 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 |

Absolute vs Relative Grading at PUMHS
For HEC-regulated semester-based programmes (Pharm-D, BS Nursing, BS Allied Health Sciences), PUMHS uses absolute grading with fixed percentage thresholds:
| Approach | How It Works | Implication for Students |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute Grading (HEC programmes) | Fixed percentage thresholds define grades (85%+ = A) | Grade depends on your own score, not class rank |
| Professional Exam Marking (MBBS/BDS) | Marks-based pass/fail per PMC rules (50% minimum) | Each subject must be cleared independently |
MBBS and BDS students at PUMHS are assessed through written, practical, and viva-voce professional examinations governed by PMC, which uses a marks-based (not GPA) system for professional degree conferral. The HEC 4.0 GPA system applies to the university's non-clinical degree programmes.
