PCM in +2 will open your doors to a lucrative career in Engineering besides other academic options available. You will have to clear state/national level entrance examinations or equivalent to secure admissions to a B Tech programme. But if you are interested in accountancy and finance and wish to pursue careers in banking and Finance or Insurance sector, then commerce streams will have a better edge.

There is no advantage or disadvantage of any course. It depends on how your interest grows and how better you can perform. If you are interested in PCM and sure about making career in that field, then it's the best for you. But if you're going for it only because everybody is going for it and making careers ahead, then it's a big NO. PCM will give a career in technology whereas commerce will take you to the direction of finance and business studies. Moreover, if you are planning for MBA later, commerce would be an add-on value. -

Disadvantages, if you do not choose PCM/B:
You will not become a doctor, engineer or scientist.
Advantages, if you choose CEM/CEC:
You will become a chartered accountant/ JEE Mains faculty for maths. -
PCM gives you an upper hand as PCM maths is complex and has more variety than mainstream commerce maths. You can pursue Engineering and appear for various entrance tests later for your post graduation if you have PCM basics cleared. With commerce maths, you do not have this upper hand. But if you wish to go for a career in banking, accounting and finance then you may opt for commerce maths.

SEE I would go for field of interest. My brother chose pcm because Science intrigued him. Then he opted for engineering and he don't deal with Science anymore. Career options in both the fields are innumerable. Commerce: you have to work with finances and taxes. Career prospects during recession are better than engineers. You can do CA and earn lots. Science: you can go for engineering. Then you can go for Masters in Science fields, research. You can earn lots if your research is good. You can be a professor. So upto you.
