About Shah Abdul Latif University
Shah Abdul Latif University (SALU) is a public university located in Khairpur, Sindh, established in 1987 by the Government of Sindh. The university is named after Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai (1689–1752), the celebrated Sindhi poet, philosopher, and mystic whose shrine is at Bhit Shah, Sindh. SALU is one of the oldest and largest public universities in interior Sindh, serving students from Khairpur, Sukkur, Larkana, Nawabshah, and surrounding districts.
SALU is fully HEC-chartered and follows the HEC 4.0 grading scale and the semester system across all programmes. As a Sindh government public institution, its degrees are recognised for Sindh government employment, CSS/PMS competitive examinations, and further postgraduate study at any HEC-recognised university in Pakistan. Students at SALU are eligible for HEC need-based scholarships, Sindh government endowment funds, and Ehsaas Undergraduate Scholarship schemes.
The university plays a critical role in expanding access to higher education in interior Sindh, an area that has historically faced underrepresentation in the country's higher education landscape. SALU operates multiple faculties covering natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, computer science, commerce, and education.
SALU Grading Scale (Official 10-Grade System)
SALU uses the HEC-mandated 10-grade 4.0 scale, identical across all HEC-chartered universities in Pakistan:
| 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 |
Grade D (45–49%, 1.00 point) is the minimum passing grade. An F must be retaken before that credit counts toward degree requirements.
How to Calculate Your SALU GPA
Semester GPA at SALU is a credit-weighted average of all enrolled courses in that semester:
- Identify the grade point for each course from the SALU grading table above.
- Multiply each grade point by that course's credit hours to get Quality Points.
- Add 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 (BS Computer Science Sem 1): Programming Fundamentals (3 cr, A = 4.00) + Mathematics-I (3 cr, B+ = 3.33) + English (2 cr, A- = 3.67) + Pakistan Studies (2 cr, A = 4.00): QP = 12.00 + 9.99 + 7.34 + 8.00 = 37.33. Credits = 10. GPA = 3.73.
How to Calculate Your SALU CGPA
CGPA aggregates your academic performance across all completed semesters:
CGPA Formula: CGPA = Total Quality Points (All Semesters) ÷ Total Credit Hours Completed
Enter each semester's GPA and credit hours in the CGPA tab above to compute your cumulative CGPA instantly.
Example: Semester 1: GPA 3.73, 10 cr (37.30 QP). Semester 2: GPA 3.10, 12 cr (37.20 QP). CGPA = 74.50 ÷ 22 = 3.39.

Absolute vs Relative Grading at SALU
SALU uses absolute grading as required by HEC for all Pakistani universities:
| Approach | How It Works | Implication for Students |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute Grading (SALU standard) | Fixed percentage thresholds determine grades (85%+ = A) | Your grade depends on your own marks, not class rank |
| Relative Grading (not used) | Grades adjusted to class performance distribution | Class average shifts individual grade thresholds |
Under absolute grading, SALU students always know the exact marks needed for a target grade — making semester CGPA planning straightforward.
