Yes you are eligible 100% even if Maths is your additional subject ... You should have Maths ... that's it ...

Hello Aspirant,

No you will not be eligible for JEE-Main and JEE-Advance for BE/B.Tech course because for JEE-Main you must have Mathematics and Physics as compulsory subjects but you have Mathematics as additional subject so you will not be eligible for JEE-Main, if you want to appear for JEE-Main then you can change the stream from PCB to PCM by discussing with your school authorities.

As you are in class 11th right now so you should be aware of complete JEE-Main eligibility criterion which is described below.

1---   Age criteria   :- There is no age limit to appear in JEE-Main but note that there might be the age limit in any particular institution taking admission through JEE-Main score, so you should keep this thing in mind.

2---   Qualifying Examination   :- To be eligible for JEE-Main one should have passed 10+2 examination with Physics, Mathematics as mandatory subjects from any of the recognized central or state board.

3---   Year of qualification   :- For JEE-Main 2021 only those candidates who have passed Class 12 / equivalent examination in 2019, 2020 or 2021; or those who are appearing in Class 12th / equivalent examination in 2021, are eligible to appear.

So if you follow all above criterion then you are definitely eligible for JEE-Main.
