Can I become a lawyer after taking Commerce?
Can I take Commerce if I scored 90% in Science subjects?
Absolutely, you can. Commerce doesn't require Science marks at all, so your 90% in Science won't hold you back. Stream choice is about what you want to study going forward, not what you scored before.

Which stream is best if I'm good at Maths but hate Science?
If Maths is your thing but Science doesn't excite you, PCM might feel like a drag since Physics and Chemistry are pretty core to it. You could explore Commerce instead, it has Maths, Economics, Business Studies, and opens up BBA, CA, finance careers. Or stick with PCM if engineering interests you anyway, since the Maths is the fun part for most people.
I'm very confused about the streams to select, as I wanted to do things as per my interest. What to do, how to measure which career suits my interest best?
The best way is to think about what problems excite you. Do you enjoy solving math and physics puzzles, or building things? Or are you more into understanding how people and society work? Once you narrow down whether you're leaning toward engineering, medical, commerce, or something else, we can show you the exams and colleges that fit.
Kya stream change karne ke liye koi bridge course karna padta hai?
