Academic grading in Bangladesh

This article gives a summary of the academic grading systems in Bangladesh. There are two main types of grading systems used. One is the Grade Point Average (GPA), which is commonly used in school & colleges. The other is the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), which is mostly used at the University Level.

Degree evaluation with class in University (First Class, Second Class, Third Class)

In Bangladesh, the results of Bachelor's and Master's degrees at public universities can be compared to the British undergraduate degree classification system. Based on CGPA, the class of degree is given as follows:

• CGPA 3.00 to 4.00 = 1st Class
• CGPA 2.25 to 2.99 = 2nd Class
• CGPA 2.00 to 2.24 = 3rd Class

A CGPA of 3.00 or above is considered a First Class Honours degree.

• North South University, BRAC University, American International University-Bangladesh, United International University, East West University, East Delta University, and University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh follow North American grading standards.
