No.
Out of the selected 2 boys and 2 girls, there are still 2 ways to arrange the boys and 2 ways to arrange the girls. So, multiply by 4 and you have the answer. 6C2 and 5C2 are only number of ways to select. if you switch the 2 selected boys/girls, the arrangement will change. Hence 6C2x5C2 isn't sufficient.
