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

This is the Third Year calculator for Marine Engineering under the Degree (Pass Course) (2025-2026) syllabus at National University Bangladesh. It covers 12 courses worth 40 credit hours — 40% of the 100 credits that make up the full Marine Engineering programme. It is the heaviest year of the 3 in this department by credit load, and averages 3.3 credits per course. Of those, 11 are Marine Engineering core papers; 1 is a university-wide common course NU requires across faculties (English (Compulsory)).

5 of the 12 courses carry a practical, lab or viva component (Marine Engineering Knowledge (Workshop Practical Training at Academy Workshop), Ship-board Training & Marine Engineering Knowledge (Practical), Marine Engineering Practice-II [(A) Repair & Mounting, (B) Electrical Laboratory], Physics-III (Practical)). They are graded as papers in their own right, so they move this year's GPA independently of the theory courses. 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 40 credits weigh into your overall CGPA.

Marine Engineering Third Year at a Glance — 2025-2026

Across the full Marine Engineering programme (2025-2026), the 3 academic years carry 100 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 Third Year result in Marine Engineering. An A+ in English (Compulsory) is worth more to this year's GPA than an A+ in a 1-credit paper:

• 121101English (Compulsory)4 credits
• 134801Marine Engineering Knowledge (Motor)4 credits
• 134803Marine Electro Technology4 credits

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

1. 1

   Start with the 12 papers you actually sat

   The list above is the exact 2025-2026 Third Year course set for Marine Engineering: 11 core, 0 allied and 1 university-wide common papers. Use the Grade column to set your result (A+ through F) for each one.

2. 2

   Give the 40-credit requirement its correct weighting

   5 of these papers (Marine Engineering Knowledge (Workshop Practical Training at Academy Workshop), Ship-board Training & Marine Engineering Knowledge (Practical) and others) are practical or lab courses graded in their own right. Enter them separately — omitting a practical understates this year's GPA and every CGPA built on it.

3. 3

   Watch the English (Compulsory) paper move the number most

   NU's GPA is credit-weighted, so a 4-credit paper like English (Compulsory) shifts this year's GPA roughly 10% per grade step — far more than a 1-credit paper does.

4. 4

   Add the other 2 years to get your CGPA

   This Third Year contributes 40% of the 100 credits in the full Marine Engineering 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 Marine Engineering Third 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 Marine Engineering (Third Year)

For the Third Year of Marine Engineering, your GPA is the sum of (Grade Points × Credits) for each of the 12 courses, divided by the total 40 credit hours. Failed courses (F) are counted in the denominator but contribute zero grade points, correctly penalising the GPA as per NU policy.
