    Hello Naresh,
    Purely medical courses like MBBS Pharmacy and BDS does not have the compulsory requirement of mathematics, but if you are good at it, then use your skills to score more in class 12th exams, so that it will help you in maintaining the rankings. Also, Physics is the compulsory subject for medical which has a lot of applications of mathematics. So, you must have the knowledge of Maths.

    You can choose both Biology and maths both as your subject in 11-12 as I know in Gujarat.

    Maths is not an essential subject for pharmacy. But, keep the tracks open for yourself. Maths would always help you incase you change your mind later. I would suggest you to have maths at least as an optional subject. Rest is your choice!

    Maths has no relation with pharmacy field. If you are very interested in pharmacy field then do not take maths.

    It is not necessary to take Maths for pharmacy.
    If you take maths in extra, you would be eligible for engineering courses also.

    You can take Maths, but it is not necessary for pharmacy.
    You should either have PCM or PCB group in class 12th.

    Take Physics,Chemistry,Biology.Math is irrelevant as far as pharmacy is concerned.
    for additional subject you can go for Physical education as taking another heavy subject will disturb you as you need to focus on the main disciplines subsequently keeping the other subjects upto the mark too.
    Good luck!!
