What is GPA and Merit Classification?

Grade Point Average (GPA) is a standardized way to measure academic performance in Malaysian universities. Your GPA determines your merit classification, which appears on your degree certificate and affects career and further education opportunities.

Merit classifications in Malaysia follow the British system:

  • First Class Honours: Outstanding academic achievement
  • Second Class Honours (Upper Division): Very good performance
  • Second Class Honours (Lower Division): Good performance
  • Third Class Honours: Satisfactory performance

How to Calculate GPA

GPA calculation follows this formula:

GPA = Total Grade Points ÷ Total Credit Hours

Example:

Subject A: Grade A (4.0 points) × 3 credit hours = 12.0

Subject B: Grade B (3.0 points) × 4 credit hours = 12.0

Subject C: Grade A- (3.7 points) × 2 credit hours = 7.4

Total: 31.4 points ÷ 9 credit hours = 3.49 GPA
