PREFACE
University of Peshawar being a mother institution of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is
responsible to cater to the needs of the country by imparting education to the society. It is also
responsible to evaluate and undertake about 172 examinations of various disciplines in a year.
It is proudly to claim that the entire setup of the examinations of the University of
Peshawar is governed with the principles of fairness, impartiality and transparency and
thus is being followed in Toto as a role model by the other provincial universities.
Examinations are one of the most important and crucial parts of entire academic
process. The Academic Council of the University over the years has framed a number of
Examination Rules and Regulations so as to ensure smooth, fair and transparent conduct of
Examinations. Nevertheless, these rules/regulations were scattered and the students, even
faculty and staff of educational institutions, at times find it difficult to refer to relevant
rule. This Manual of Examinations being a comprehensive document, having content
relating to University Act, Rules and Regulations, will do a great deal in this regard by
facilitating all those related with the University Examinations.
This compendium also details the procedures for rechecking and re-totaling of the
answer books, changes in the name, correction in date of birth, migrations, improvements
of division, DMCs, change of centres and verification of degree etc. It also covers various
Rules & Regulations about Annual System, Term System and Semester System
Examinations.
Rules relating to the duties of superintendents & other supervisory staff, and the
procedure about inspection of Examination Centres including financial rules about various
payments to examiners, secrecy staff, inspectors of examinations etc. can be perused there in.
Many changes have been brought into examination rules and regulations since
the publication of the first edition in 2010 that make it appropriate to revise portions of this
Manual.
Feeling pride in having served the University of Peshawar for more than 3
decades, I considered it as my prime responsibility to leave behind such a document for
assistance of the entire university beneficiaries. To ensure orientation with the available
setup of rules especially for the candidates appearing in various examinations & also to
facilitate the supervisory staff in smooth conduct of examinations, I am confident that this
document will provide maximum possible guideline to the beneficiaries.
Mr. Yorid Ahsan Zia, Deputy Controller of Examinations, and his team deserves
special appreciation on account of their hard work, commitment and zeal in ensuring the
compilation of this Manual in a timely manner. Mr. Yorid exercised maximum efforts to
successfully arrange and collect the relevant data for completion of this document despite
his other pressing engagements in teaching and research work, for which he deserves my
heartfelt appreciations.

ΣGP = Sum of all the Grade Points of courses offered in the semester

ΣCH = Sum of all credit hours of courses offered in the semester

126
 Example-1: Calculation of GPA without Withdrawal of courses:
Course %age of Grade Value Credit Grade
Code Marks Hours Point
Obtained (CH) (GP)
511 65 C 2.4 3 7.2
513 72 B 3.0 3 9.0
515 80 B 3.5 3 10.5
517 51 D 1.1 2 2.2
519 42 F 0.0 3 0.0
Total 14 28.9

28.9
GPA = ΣGP/ΣCH (for all courses offered in a semester) = 14 = 2.064285,
and by rounding to two decimal places, the GPA will become 2.06.

Example -2: Calculation of GPA with Withdrawal of courses:

Suppose a student withdraws course code ‘519’ as provided in these rules, then
the GPA shall be calculated as follow:

Course %age of Grade Value Credit Grade

Marks Hours Point
Obtained (CH) (GP)
511 65 C 2.4 3 7.2
513 72 B 3.0 3 9.0
515 80 B 3.5 3 10.5
517 51 D 1.1 2 2.2
519 42 W - - -
Total 11 28.9

28.9
GPA = ΣGP/ΣCH (for all courses offered in a semester) = 11 = 2.6272, and
by rounding to two decimal places, the GPA will become 2.63.

vii. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is an expression for the average
performance of the student in all the courses he/she has taken during all the
previous semesters (the entire course of study), thus at the end of 1st
semester, CGPA will be the same as GPA, while CGPA at the end of 2nd or
any subsequent semester will be calculated by taking into account all the
courses taken by the student in all the previous semesters.
viii. The CGPA shall be rounded to two decimal places.

CGPA = ΣGP/ΣCH (for all the courses taken so far in all the previous
semesters/ the entire course of study), where:
127
 GP = Numeric Value of % of Marks obtained in a subject multiplied by
credit hours of the said subject

ΣGP = Sum of all the Grade Points of courses offered in all the previous
semesters

ΣCH = Sum of all the credit hours of courses offered in all the previous
semesters
