UPNM Grading Note
UPNM grades on a 4.00 scale from A+ (90-100) down to D- (30-34, 0.67) and E (0-29). D+ (40-44) is the minimum pass. The Faculty of Medicine and Defence Health uses its own table.
UPNM Accuracy Scope
UPNM's current regulations are not online, so this page follows the 2017 amendment of its academic regulations (archived copy); check your faculty handbook. When you repeat a failed course the latest grade counts, and when you improve a grade the highest counts.
GPA Tips for UPNM Students
- UPNM operates multiple pathway stages (Asasi, Diploma, Bachelor). Ensure you understand how CGPA from earlier stages affects eligibility for the next level.
- Military cadet students should balance physical training demands with academic performance, as both contribute to overall commissioning evaluations.
- UPNM defence studies courses include classified briefings and field exercises that carry academic credit. Prepare for non-traditional assessment formats.
Common GPA Mistakes at UPNM
Students transitioning between UPNM pathway stages (Asasi to Diploma, or Diploma to Bachelor) sometimes assume their previous CGPA carries forward. Each stage typically starts with a fresh CGPA calculation, though admission to the next stage depends on the previous CGPA.
UPNM Grading System
Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia uses a 4.0-point grading scale. The highest achievable GPA is 4.0, and letter grades are converted to grade points using the UPNM grade table below. UPNM awards degree classifications based on cumulative GPA thresholds, with First Class requiring a CGPA of 3.67 or above.
Each module grade earns a specific number of grade points, which are then weighted by credit units to compute your semester GPA and cumulative GPA (CGPA). Use the UPNM GPA calculator above to project your CGPA based on expected grades.
