About History Honours CGPA Calculation

History Honours at National University is a four-year program that examines the political, social, economic, and cultural history of Bengal, South Asia, West Asia, Europe, America, Africa, and the Far East. Students develop skills in historical methodology, source criticism, and historiography while studying ancient civilizations, medieval empires, colonial periods, and modern nation-states. GPA and CGPA are computed under the official NU grading system, with letter grades determining semester and cumulative performance. The program covers 120 total credits, including a viva-voce examination in the final year.

How This History CGPA Calculator Works

The calculator converts each selected letter grade into the official NU grade point, multiplies it by the subject credit, and divides the total weighted points by total counted credits.

History subjects, optional groups, practical papers, compulsory papers, and non-CGPA subjects are loaded from the department data below so the calculation matches the year-wise structure of the program.

Frequently Asked Questions

NU CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) measures overall academic performance across all years of an Honours program. Each subject earns a grade point (0.00–4.00) which is multiplied by its credit hours. The CGPA is the sum of all weighted grade points divided by the total credit hours (128 for Honours).
National University Bangladesh uses a 4.00 grading scale: A+ (80–100%) = 4.00, A (75–79%) = 3.75, A- (70–74%) = 3.50, B+ (65–69%) = 3.25, B (60–64%) = 3.00, B- (55–59%) = 2.75, C+ (50–54%) = 2.50, C (45–49%) = 2.25, D (40–44%) = 2.00, F (below 40%) = 0.00.
The 4-year Honours program requires 128 total credits: First Year 28 credits, Second Year 28 credits, Third Year 32 credits, and Fourth Year 40 credits. Theory subjects carry 4 credits each, practicals carry 2 credits, and the Fourth Year includes a viva-voce (4 credits). Note that some departments may have a different total credit structure (e.g., Botany 136, Economics 120).
No. English (Second Year) is a non-credit compulsory subject. It does not count toward total credits or CGPA, but you must pass it to complete the program. The calculator marks non-CGPA subjects clearly and includes them only in the passed-subject count.
A failed subject (F, below 40%) earns 0.00 grade points. Its credit hours still count in total credits, which lowers your GPA. Improvement rules depend on current National University regulations; consult the latest official examination notices for retake and transcript policies.
Classification is determined by final CGPA: First Class (3.00–4.00), Second Class (2.25–2.99), Third Class (2.00–2.24). A CGPA below 2.00 does not meet the minimum requirement for graduation.
Some departments require choosing optional subject groups. For example, Zoology First Year chooses one group (Chemistry or Biochemistry) and Second Year chooses any two. Physics First and Second Years choose one group (Chemistry or Statistics). The calculator prompts you to select before showing the subject list.
Yes. Enter actual grades for completed years and estimated grades for remaining years. The calculator will project your final CGPA and show what classification you would achieve.
It follows the official NU grading scale and weighted credit formula: Σ(Grade Point × Credit) / Σ(Credit). Verify with your college for any institution-specific variations.
Yes. Higher-credit subjects have a greater impact on CGPA. A 4-credit theory subject counts twice as much as a 2-credit practical. The calculator applies the correct weighted averaging.
Select your department, choose the academic year, pick optional groups if applicable, enter your grades for each subject, and click Calculate. Check "Overall CGPA" to calculate across all years at once.
Students are assessed through 100-mark written examinations that test factual knowledge, analytical reasoning, and historiographical understanding. Answers are evaluated on argument structure, evidence use, and critical engagement with historical sources. The NU 4-point grading scale applies to all papers.
Yes, the fourth year includes a compulsory Viva-voce paper (241518, 4 credits) that tests comprehensive knowledge across the syllabus. While there is no standalone research thesis, the curriculum develops research skills through historiography and source-analysis papers across all four years.
Graduates can enter teaching, civil service (BCS), museum and archival work, journalism, heritage management, research institutions, and NGOs. The analytical and writing skills gained are valuable for law school, public administration, and postgraduate historical research.
