Sir, can I change my special subject from Biology to Mathematics in class 12th? Because I wanted to study a graduate degree course in Astrophysics. And, I heard that Mathematics is compulsory for this.

Yes you can definitely choose mathematics in your 12 standard and drop biology
As astrophysics requires physics,chemistry,mathematics as main subjects you will have to choose mathematics in 12 standard

No, you can’t drop Biology subject and take Mathematics in your 12th standard. You can’t change the selection of subjects in your 12th standard. You have to pursue 11th and 12th standard with same subjects. Incase, if you are not interested to study Biology subject in your 12th standard, then you have to repeat 11th standard with Mathematics subject to be eligible to study Mathematics subject in 12th standard.

I have maths but I want to drop biology in 12th
