No, you are not eligible to apply for the SCRA (Special Class Railway Apprentices) entrance exam if you are pursuing the 2nd year of B.Sc (Mathematics) as per the eligibility criteria prescribed by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

To be eligible for the SCRA exam, the candidate should have completed the 10+2 examination or its equivalent with Mathematics and at least one of the subjects Physics and Chemistry from a recognized university or board. The candidate should also have attained the age of 17 years and must not have attained the age of 21 years on 1st January of the year of the examination.

Therefore, as you are still pursuing your graduation and have not completed your 10+2, you are not eligible to apply for the SCRA exam. However, there are other competitive exams for which you may be eligible based on your qualifications and interests.
