Social Work Honours CGPA Calculator

NU CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) measures overall academic performance across all years of your 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, 84 for BA Program, 24 for Degree Pass).

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 (28 + 28 + 32 + 40). The 3-year BA Program requires 84 credits. The 3-year Degree Pass requires 24 credits. Each department may have slight variations — use the calculator to see the exact distribution for your department.

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. This applies to all programs (Honours, BA Program, and Degree Pass).

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 program and 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.

Yes, fieldwork practicum is a central component of the Social Work program. In the fourth year, students complete Field Work Education (242117) and Field Practicum+Viva-voce (242118), which together carry 8 credits. This hands-on training places students in real community and organizational settings to apply social work methods.

Social Work graduates can work as professional social workers in NGOs, community development organizations, government social welfare departments, child protection agencies, disaster management authorities, healthcare settings, and counseling centers. The demand for trained social workers is growing in Bangladesh, particularly in the development and humanitarian sectors.

Beyond the fieldwork practicum, the program includes practical training in social work methods (case work and group work), project planning and management, computer and information technology, and social research and statistics. Students develop applied skills in needs assessment, project implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and community mobilization.
