Yes, the device is eligible for MIUI 12. 5 and Android 11 and might receive both updates simultaneously. Unfortunately, the current update sans both build, as Xiaomi prepares the device for the upgrade with the April security patch update.
The POCO C3 April security patch update has a version number – MIUI 12.0.9.0 QCRINXM – and weighs in at 308MB. It bumps the Android security level to April 2021 to increase system security and stability.
