Nepal university curricula
These pages are a plain reference for the programs gpaNepal supports: every semester, every subject, and the credit hours attached to each. They exist because the single most common cause of a wrong GPA in Nepal is not bad arithmetic — it is entering the wrong credit hours, or forgetting that a lab is credited separately from the theory paper it belongs to.
Nepal's four main semester-system universities each set their own syllabus and their own grade-point scale, and the two are easy to mix up. Pokhara University's highest grade is a plain A worth 4.0; Tribhuvan, Kathmandu and Purbanchal all place A+ above it, pushing a plain A down to 3.6. Same letter on the marksheet, different number in the calculation. Pick your university below to see its programs, and use the calculator with that university selected so the right scale is applied.

What is on each curriculum page
Every university page lists its supported faculties, and every faculty expands into its full semester sequence. For each semester you get a table of subject codes, subject names and credit hours — the same three pieces of information the calculator needs, presented so you can check them against your own syllabus or exam routine before you start entering grades.
Subject codes are included deliberately. Colleges affiliated to the same university often shorten subject names differently in day-to-day use, so “DSA”, “Data Structures” and “Data Structures and Algorithms” may all refer to the same paper. The code is the reliable identifier.
Why credit hours matter more than students expect
A semester GPA is not the average of your grades. It is the average of your grades weighted by credit hours: multiply each subject's grade point by its credits, add the results, divide by total credits. A one-credit lab and a four-credit core paper are not equal partners in that sum, and treating them as if they were is the single most common reason a hand-calculated SGPA disagrees with the official one.
The second most common reason is omission. Labs, projects and practical components are credited separately in most Nepali syllabi, and they appear as their own rows in the tables below for exactly that reason. If your college credits them, so does your transcript — and so should your calculation.
Four universities, four different scales
Curriculum is only half the picture. The other half is the grade-point scale, and Nepal's four semester-system universities do not share one. Pokhara University's highest grade is a plain A worth 4.0, with A− at 3.7 below it. Tribhuvan, Kathmandu and Purbanchal all put A+ at 4.0, which pushes a plain A down to 3.6. The same letter on two marksheets from two universities is worth two different numbers.
There is also a naming trap worth knowing about: both Pokhara and Purbanchal University are commonly abbreviated “PU” in conversation, and they use different scales. gpaNepal writes Purbanchal as PBU throughout to keep them apart. Selecting the right university in the calculator is not a cosmetic choice — it determines every number that follows.
