I am an 11th student I have chosen PCB subject combination, is it necessary to have Mathematics subject in order to study Genetics at graduate level? If not, than how much marks (minimum) are required to qualify for entrance exam and to get admission in good college to study Genetics?

Yes, it is mandatory to complete your 11th and 12th standard with PCMB combination (i.e. Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology) to apply for Genetics at Bachelor and Masters level.

Now a days, most of the reputed colleges admit students for Genetics only if they have studied from PCMB stream. So, you must opt for Mathematics also.
