Hi
Yes, you are eligible for admission in MBBS in afmc even if you have Biology as an optional or additional or 6th subject in your 12th board.
This is because,
To be eligible for admission in a afmc,it is not mandatory to have studied Biology as a core subject as eligibility criteria for educational requirements just says that
to be eligible you should pass all the subjects in your class 12th in your first attempt with English, Physics, Chemistry and Biology and must get at least 60% in aggregate of PCB i. e Physics, Chemistry and Biology and at least 50% marks in English and 50% marks individually in each of PCB , also should have studied and passed maths in the class 10th.
So, if you fulfill this criteria then you are eligible with your qualifications even if you have Biology as optional or additional subject in 12th board examination
Also,
You must be at least 17 years old by 31st December of the year in which you apply, and must not be of age of 24 years on that date i.e your date of birth must not be earlier than 1st January 1998 and it should not be later than 31st December 2004.

Admission in Armed Forces Medical College ,Pune is through neet i.e students are shortlisted on the basis of marks obtained in neet
If I tell you about the marks required in neet to get admission in afmc then
It's quite difficult to predict the marks required to get a seat in AFMC but yes when we go through previous year trends then
In 2019 , 596 marks was required for boys and 610 marks in neet was required for girls to get into AFMC

But ,
cut off marks keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like number of students that appeared in the exam, kind of marks obtained by them , toughness level of the examination etc
So,
If you want to get into afmc, you need to have at least 650 marks in neet 2021 examination to be on the safer side
After qualifying neet cut off of AFMC , you will have to give some additional examination to get admission in AFMC , that is :-
*Test of English Language, Comprehension, Logic, and Reasoning which is called ToELR,
*Psychological Assessment Test i.e. PAT,
* Interview
After clearing these, finally you will have to go through your Medical Examination then finally you are selected for admission in AFMC.
