Hi
If you include maths as a 6th subject in your board examination. Then it will become an additional or optional subject as there are only 5 core /compulsory subjects.
And thus you will become ineligible for jee main for BE /BTech
This because,
To be eligible for BE /BTech jee main it is mandatory to have maths as a compulsory subject.
But yes,
With maths as an additional/6th subject you will be eligible for jee main for B. Arch and B. Planning as for that you need to have maths, it's not mandatory to have it as a core/compulsory subject.
So,
I would suggest you to keep both Maths and Maths as a compulsory subject. I personally have done 10+2 with both maths and biology as main subjects and trust me it's not that difficult, you will enjoy learning :)
For your reference,
Jee main eligibility criteria is given below-
-) Qualification required :- to be eligible for JEE mains you need 10+2/equivalent qualification.
