NU Third Year Economics GPA Calculator — Degree (Pass Course) (2025-2026)

This is the Third Year calculator for Economics under the Degree (Pass Course) (2025-2026) syllabus at National University Bangladesh. It covers 2 courses worth 8 credit hours from a syllabus list of 3 options worth 12 credits — 29% of the 28 credits that make up the full Economics programme. It is the heaviest year of the 3 in this department by credit load, and averages 4 credits per course. The calculator below separates compulsory papers from selectable requirement packages so only the courses you actually take count toward GPA.

Practical and lab papers are counted when their compulsory block or selected option package is part of your requirement, so leave unselected packages out of the GPA. 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.

Step-by-Step: How to Calculate Your Third Year GPA in Economics

1. 1

   Select the required option packages first

   Paper-V হিসেবে Elementary Mathematics/Statistics অথবা Demography—একটি নির্বাচন করুন; Paper-VI আবশ্যিক। After selecting the option packages you took, use the Grade column for the 2 courses that count toward this year's GPA.

2. 2

   Give the 8-credit requirement its correct weighting

   Unselected option packages are ignored completely. Selected practical or lab papers are still graded separately, so they affect this year's GPA according to their own credits.

3. 3

   Watch the Paper-V (Option 1): Elementary Mathematics for Economics and Basic Statistics paper move the number most

   NU's GPA is credit-weighted, so a 4-credit paper like Paper-V (Option 1): Elementary Mathematics for Economics and Basic Statistics shifts this year's GPA roughly 50% per grade step — far more than a 1-credit paper does.
