NU Second Year Computer Science GPA Calculator — Degree (Pass Course) (2025-2026)

This is the Second Year calculator for Computer Science under the Degree (Pass Course) (2025-2026) syllabus at National University Bangladesh. It covers 2 courses worth 8 credit hours — 25% of the 32 credits that make up the full Computer Science programme. It is the lightest year of the 3 in this department by credit load, and averages 4 credits per course. Of those, 2 are Computer Science core papers.

There is no separate practical or lab paper in this year — every one of the 2 courses is graded on written work alone. Enter a grade for each course below and the Yearly GPA updates as you go; switch to another year tab to see how this year's 8 credits weigh into your overall CGPA.

Computer Science Second Year at a Glance — 2025-2026

Across the full Computer Science programme (2025-2026), the 3 academic years carry 32 credits in total. Here is how the credit load is distributed — the year you are on is highlighted:

Because NU's GPA is credit-weighted, the papers below have the largest single effect on your Second Year result in Computer Science. An A+ in Paper-III: Database Management System and Information System Design is worth more to this year's GPA than an A+ in a 1-credit paper:

• 125001Paper-III: Database Management System and Information System Design4 credits
• 125003Paper-IV: Data Communication and Computer Network4 credits

Step-by-Step: How to Calculate Your Second Year GPA in Computer Science

1. 1

   Start with the 2 papers you actually sat

   The list above is the exact 2025-2026 Second Year course set for Computer Science: 2 core, 0 allied and 0 university-wide common papers. Use the Grade column to set your result (A+ through F) for each one.

2. 2

   Give the 8-credit requirement its correct weighting

   None of this year's 2 papers has a separate practical component, so each grade you enter maps one-to-one onto a written course. The Yearly GPA below updates as soon as a grade is set.

3. 3

   Watch the Paper-III: Database Management System and Information System Design paper move the number most

   NU's GPA is credit-weighted, so a 4-credit paper like Paper-III: Database Management System and Information System Design shifts this year's GPA roughly 50% per grade step — far more than a 1-credit paper does.

4. 4

   Add the other 2 years to get your CGPA

   This Second Year contributes 25% of the 32 credits in the full Computer Science programme. Switch year tabs to grade the rest — the Overall CGPA at the bottom accounts for every year you have entered.

Grade Points Used for Computer Science Second Year

Degree (Pass Course) is graded on NU's standard 4.00 scale: A+ 4.00, A 3.75, A− 3.50, B+ 3.25, B 3.00, B− 2.75, C+ 2.50, C 2.25, D 2.00, F 0.00. Below 40% is an F, which still counts its 4 credits in the denominator.

The CGPA Formula Applied to Computer Science (Second Year)

For the Second Year of Computer Science, your GPA is the sum of (Grade Points × Credits) for each of the 2 courses, divided by the total 8 credit hours. Failed courses (F) are counted in the denominator but contribute zero grade points, correctly penalising the GPA as per NU policy.
