How to Download Your Marksheet (PDF)
Your result page shows a basic Pass/Fail status and overall GPA, but that is not your full marksheet. The detailed subject-wise marksheet shows your individual marks, letter grade, and grade point for every subject you appeared in.
The detailed marksheet is usually available on the result portal a few hours after the initial result is published. If you cannot see it immediately, check back after 2–3 hours. Your marksheet is the official document required for 4th Year enrollment.
There is no separate “download” button on the NU result portal. Follow these steps instead:
- Go to results.nu.ac.bd and check your result as normal
- Wait for the full marksheet page to load with all subject-wise grades
- Press
Ctrl + Pon your keyboard (orCmd + Pon Mac) - Change the destination from your printer to “Save as PDF”
- Click Save — your marksheet is now downloaded
Understanding the Grading System & GPA Calculation
National University follows a standard university-level grading system used across all Honours programs in Bangladesh. Your marksheet does not just show a number, it translates every subject’s marks into a Letter Grade and a Grade Point, which together form your overall CGPA.
What Your Marksheet Contains
- Subject Name — every paper you appeared in
- Marks Obtained — theory and practical marks separately
- Letter Grade — alphabetical grade (A+, A, B+, etc.)
- Grade Point — numerical value assigned to each letter grade
- CGPA — cumulative average of all subject grade points
Your final grade in each subject is calculated by combining theory marks and practical/tutorial marks separately. Both must meet the minimum threshold:
- Minimum pass marks in Theory → 40 out of 100
- Minimum pass marks in Practical/Tutorial → Must qualify as per subject requirement
- Failing in either component independently results in an F grade for that subject — even if your combined total is high
Honours 3rd year Full Grading Scale
| Numerical Grade (Class Interval) | Letter Grade | Grade Point |
|---|---|---|
| 80% or Above | A+ | 4.00 |
| 75% to less than 80% | A | 3.75 |
| 70% to less than 75% | A- | 3.50 |
| 65% to less than 70% | B+ | 3.25 |
| 60% to less than 65% | B | 3.00 |
| 55% to less than 60% | B- | 2.75 |
| 50% to less than 55% | C+ | 2.50 |
| 45% to less than 50% | C | 2.25 |
| 40% to less than 45% | D | 2.00 |
| Less than 40% | F | 0.00 |
To calculate your CGPA, multiply each subject’s grade point by its credit hours, add all results together, then divide by the total credit hours. A minimum D grade (2.00) in every subject is required to qualify for 4th Year admission.
What to Do Next After Your Result
If You Passed — What Comes Next
Congratulations! Your next step is to wait for the official 4th Year admission or class notice from National University or your college authority. Keep your marksheet and all academic documents ready for enrollment.
If You Failed or Are Not Satisfied — Do Not Panic
A lower grade or an F in one subject does not define your academic journey. National University provides clear, structured options for every student who is not satisfied with their result. You have three paths forward: Option 1- Rescrutiny (Board Challenge), Option 2 – Improvement Exam and Option 3 – Irregular Exam.
Re-scrutiny (Board Challenge)
Rescrutiny means requesting NU to re-check your physical answer script. An examiner will re-verify that all answers were marked correctly, no marks were missed, and the total was calculated without error.
Who should apply:
- Students who received an F grade and believe their paper was marked incorrectly
- Students who received a C or D grade and want to improve their CGPA
Key details:
- Applications open within 1 week of result publication
- Fee: 800 BDT per subject — paid via Sonali Seba or Teletalk
- You can apply for as many subjects as you want — but pay 800 BDT for each one separately
- Application is submitted online through the official NU portal at www.nu.ac.bd
- Results of rescrutiny are typically published within 30–45 days
📌 Note: Rescrutiny does not guarantee a grade change — it only ensures your paper is re-checked for marking errors.
Improvement Exam
If you passed but want a better grade, you can re-appear in the same subject in the next exam cycle as a Grade Improvement candidate.
Eligibility restriction:
- You cannot apply for improvement if you already scored 40+ marks in practical/tutorial AND 45+ marks in theory in that subject
- Improvement is only allowed where there is genuine room for academic improvement
Irregular Exam
If you have an F grade in one or more subjects, you can appear in those specific subjects in the next session as an Irregular student — without repeating the entire 3rd Year.
- You carry forward your passing subjects
- Only appear in the subjects where you received F
- This keeps your academic progression on track without losing an entire year
