About Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University
Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University (STMU) is a private, HEC-chartered health sciences university located in Islamabad. The university's name carries deep meaning: Shifa (شفا) is the Arabic and Urdu word for healing and cure, while Tameer-e-Millat (تعمیر ملت) means nation building — together encapsulating the university's mission to develop healthcare professionals who contribute to the health and wellbeing of Pakistan as a nation. This dual purpose — individual healing and national development through education — is central to STMU's academic identity and institutional character.
STMU's origins trace to Shifa International Hospital, established in 1987 as one of Islamabad's premier private hospitals. Over decades, the hospital built a reputation for high-quality tertiary care, specialist services, and modern diagnostics. The establishment of Shifa College of Medicine and, later, Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University allowed this clinical excellence to become the foundation for structured medical and health sciences education. Today, Shifa International Hospital in H-8, Islamabad functions as the primary teaching hospital for STMU — giving students hands-on clinical exposure in a functioning tertiary care environment from the earliest years of their programmes.
STMU is fully chartered by the HEC and holds accreditation from the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) for its MBBS and BDS programmes. The university's BS-level health sciences programmes — including Pharmacy, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Medical Lab Technology, and Radiology — operate on the standard HEC 4.0 semester-based GPA system. STMU is an important part of Islamabad's private health sciences education landscape, training doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals who serve both within Pakistan and in healthcare systems worldwide.
⚠ Note on MBBS / BDS Grading
MBBS and BDS programmes at STMU follow the PMDC-regulated annual assessment system — grades are awarded as percentage marks per professional year (Part I, II, III), not as semester GPA. This calculator applies to Pharm-D, BS Nursing, BS Allied Health Sciences, and all other semester-based BS programmes that use the HEC 4.0 GPA scale. MBBS/BDS students should use percentage totals from their annual result cards.
STMU Grading Scale (Official 10-Grade System)
STMU uses the HEC 4.0 absolute grading scale for all semester-based undergraduate and postgraduate programmes including Pharm-D, BS Nursing, BS Allied Health Sciences, and MS programmes. A+ and A are separate grade entries — both carry 4.00 grade points, but A+ requires 90–100% and A requires 85–89%.
| Grade | Grade Points | Percentage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| A+ | 4.00 | 90–100% | Outstanding |
| A | 4.00 | 85–89% | Excellent |
| 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 |
How to Calculate Your STMU GPA
Your semester GPA at STMU (for Pharm-D, BS Nursing, BS Allied Health Sciences, and other HEC 4.0 programmes) 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 (Pharm-D Year 1, Semester 1): Pharmaceutics-I (3 cr, A = 4.00) + Pharmaceutical Chemistry (3 cr, B+ = 3.33) + Human Anatomy & Physiology (3 cr, A- = 3.67) + Biochemistry (3 cr, B = 3.00) + Dispensing Pharmacy Lab (1 cr, A+ = 4.00) = (12.00 + 9.99 + 11.01 + 9.00 + 4.00) ÷ 13 = 3.54 GPA
How to Calculate Your STMU CGPA
Your Cumulative GPA (CGPA) at STMU is the credit-weighted average of all semester GPAs from your first enrolled semester to the most recently completed one.
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. Pharm-D at STMU runs over 5 years (10 semesters). The final-year internship and clinical rotations carry credit weight and are included in the CGPA calculation.
Convert STMU CGPA to Percentage
Convert your STMU CGPA to a percentage using the HEC standard formula. Required for government job applications, postgraduate admissions, and health sector licencing authorities.
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 |
STMU Minimum CGPA Requirements & Probation
STMU enforces the HEC-mandated minimum CGPA thresholds across all semester-based programmes. In health sciences, academic standing is especially critical — clinical programme progression requires both academic performance and satisfactory clinical competency assessments.
| Programme Level | Minimum CGPA | Consequence if Below |
|---|---|---|
| Pharm-D / BS Nursing / BS Allied Health | 2.00 | Academic Probation |
| MS / MPhil / Postgraduate | 2.50 | Academic Probation |
| PhD | 3.00 | Dismissal Risk |
Health sciences students on academic probation must meet with their programme director immediately. Clinical training rotations may be suspended until CGPA requirements are met. HEC Semester Rules apply — failure to recover within two consecutive semesters may result in programme suspension.
STMU Dean’s List & Academic Distinctions

STMU Campus & Programmes
STMU operates its main academic campus in H-8, Islamabad — co-located with Shifa International Hospital, which serves as the primary teaching hospital. This integrated clinical-academic environment means students rotate through actual hospital departments — OPD, surgical wards, ICU, pharmacy dispensing, radiology units, and labs — as part of their formal curriculum rather than as supplementary placements.
Shifa International Hospital is one of Islamabad's best-known and most equipped private hospitals, providing STMU students with exposure to real-world clinical settings across specialties including cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, neurology, obstetrics, and emergency medicine. This hands-on integration gives STMU graduates a practical edge in clinical competency from day one of their professional careers.

Absolute vs Relative Grading at STMU
STMU uses absolute grading for all HEC 4.0 programmes, in line with HEC policy. Your grade in Pharmacy, Nursing, and Allied Health Sciences is determined by your own performance against fixed percentage thresholds — not by how other students in your batch perform.
| System | How Grade is Set | Used at STMU? |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute Grading (HEC 4.0) | Fixed percentage thresholds | ✓ Yes (BS/Pharm-D programmes) |
| PMDC Annual Percentage | Percentage marks per professional year | ✓ MBBS / BDS only |
| Relative / Bell-curve Grading | Based on class performance | ✗ Not used |

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Shifa Tameer-e-Millat” mean?
Shifa (شفا) is the Arabic and Urdu word for healing, cure, and recovery — used throughout the Islamic medical tradition and in everyday language when someone recovers from illness. Tameer-e-Millat (تعمیر ملت) means building the nation or constructing the community — a phrase with deep resonance in Pakistan's educational and social reform discourse. Together, the name expresses the university's dual mission: to train healthcare professionals who bring healing to individuals and, through that collective work, contribute to building a healthier, stronger Pakistani nation. The name also directly references the Shifa International Hospital heritage — the institution that gave birth to the university.
Is STMU PMDC accredited? Are its MBBS and BDS degrees recognised?
Yes. STMU holds accreditation from the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC, formerly PMDC) for its MBBS and BDS programmes. This means STMU MBBS/BDS graduates are eligible for PMDC/PMC registration, which is mandatory to practise medicine or dentistry in Pakistan. They are also eligible to apply for postgraduate FCPS training (via CPSP) and to sit licensing examinations for overseas practice including USMLE (USA), AMC (Australia), PLAB (UK), and similar. STMU is also HEC-chartered, so all degrees are recognised for government employment and HEC attestation.
Does MBBS use GPA? Why can't I use this calculator for MBBS?
MBBS and BDS programmes in Pakistan — including at STMU — are regulated by PMC (formerly PMDC), which mandates annual professional examinations rather than the HEC semester GPA system. Your MBBS grades are expressed as percentage marks per professional year (Part I: Year 1–2; Part II: Year 3; Part III: Year 4–5), and you are classified as Pass or Fail per professional year — not per semester. There is no GPA scale. This is why this calculator does not apply to MBBS/BDS. For BS Pharmacy (Pharm-D), BS Nursing, and all other semester-based allied health programmes at STMU, the HEC 4.0 GPA system does apply and this calculator is fully relevant.
What is MDCAT and what aggregate is required for STMU MBBS admission?
MDCAT (Medical and Dental College Admission Test) is Pakistan's national standardised entry test for all MBBS and BDS admissions, conducted annually by PMC (formerly by PMC and provincial health commissions). It is a mandatory requirement for all medical and dental college admissions in Pakistan — no student can be admitted to MBBS or BDS without a qualifying MDCAT score. The aggregate for STMU MBBS is calculated as: Matric 10% + FSc Pre-Medical 40% + MDCAT 50%. Minimum aggregate thresholds and MDCAT cut-off scores are set annually by PMC and may change each admission cycle. Always check the current STMU admission advertisement for exact thresholds applicable to the year you are applying.
How do I convert my STMU CGPA to percentage?
Use the HEC standard formula: Percentage = (CGPA ÷ 4.0) × 100. A CGPA of 3.6 equals 90%. For an instant result, use our CGPA to Percentage converter. This conversion is accepted for Pakistan Nursing Council (PNC) registration, Pharmacy Council Pakistan applications, government health department jobs, and overseas health board licensing examinations.
