Alright... i know to stay in ENG your CA should be a 4.0.
But I have a FREE CHOICE, so does that mean i should basically pass everything atleast? ( 50% and above)

Yes pretty much. But I believe the free choice does not apply to Management. So if you want to get into management you have to compete with everyone else still. But if you are interested in just straight up engineering, than yes, you just have to pass everything.

You still have to get a 4 average for your free choice to apply. 4 is the average you need to stay in the faculty of engineering for the next 4-5 years depending on your program. But yes, as long as you keep above a 4 average (thats above a 60% average) you are pretty much set to go (except for biomed, management, and society streams, which free choice doesn't apply to).

One more question, after the year is done... is there a possibility of your marks increasing?
Do they make adjustments? :S
Im really paranoid right now because I didnt do as well as I thought I did in math :(

Possible, yes.

Likely, no.
