Both the options are different. You can choose any of the options based on your interest. -
Both the options are excellent in their fields so it depends on whether you want to turn to technical oriented study or want to get into management field, but remember that you will get a chance after your PUC (science) to switch between IT and commerce fields but if you are aiming for engineering then it would be better if you go for PCM.

These are basically two gateways in Indian education system for higher education. If you are studying PCM it will open up in science stream. But if you are studying in commerce field then it will open up in management, business and banking fields. It is just an overview of these two wide fields. -
12th standard 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.

PCM has an option of continuing with Science stream or switch to Commerce but reverse is not true. You get all the streams of PCM and commerce in former and is always a Win situation even in normalisation. But issue comes after switching, if you do. As you switch to commerce, you need to clear your HS basics 1st to do anything good in further studies else it gonna be a bad choice. -
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. Higher National Diploma (HND) Nautical Science or Marine Engineering (1 year course). Bachelor of Science in Nautical Technology (3 years training at Institute + 1 year at Sea). Bachelor of Technology in Naval Architecture and Ship Building. Bachelor Of Science
