About the UPM GPA System

Universiti Putra Malaysia evolved from the College of Agriculture Malaya (1931) and retains world-class strength in agriculture, forestry, and veterinary science. UPM also has growing programmes in engineering and computer science, and is among Malaysia's top three research universities.

GPA Tips for UPM Students

  • UPM grade points differ from the national norm: A- = 3.75 and B+ = 3.50 instead of the common 3.67 and 3.33. Double-check your calculations.
  • Agriculture and veterinary students should account for fieldwork and practicum components that carry credit hours and affect CGPA.
  • If targeting direct PhD admission at UPM, you need CGPA 3.750+, so plan your course strategy from Year 1.

Common GPA Mistakes at UPM

Using standard Malaysian grade points (A- = 3.67, B+ = 3.33) when calculating UPM CGPA leads to inaccurate results. UPM's official scale assigns A- = 3.75 and B+ = 3.50, which can make a meaningful difference at honours boundaries.
