Grading System in University

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. So, their grading policies differ from those of typical Bangladeshi universities.
