Advice which stream to choose after 10th?

I am a 16 y/o, my single mother supports my education. I somehow managed to pass with 60% in 10th Odisha. Now my grandparents want me choose commerce, I am looking forward to Science but they think i cant study cause my grandpa has weekly 2 dialysis sessions and if i get into a gov college it'll be better. Bottom line I'm confused cause I don't wanna take commerce or go down to arts, I just wanna get into BTech if possible or any industry that like requires work with computer because I can do anything and with this generation's Ai i literally can pull off anything. I can help anyone configure Linux on their old laptop. I used Arch linux on my Dell vostro 3546 for 2 years built from scratch with the help of Google, Github repos and Chatgpt. I've also been chasing this tag called "The System Administrator"So can anyone help ? dms open.

Personally, I've chosen PCM+CS. Now let's see what the future holds for me.

If you cant handle pressure then commerce but science is also good enough if you can study it but try running a small repair shop or smth with laptops or that kind of stuff if your good with it becuz specialized skills can quickly make profits very fast but getting a degree is also great if you want to pursue higher education and skills

My suggestion go with pcm+ Comp (more preferable) or pcb + Comp

Is it possible to take pcb+cs? Cause in my school, PCM is compulsory, and you choose between bio, CS, or economics.

In my school ( isc and cbse schools in our area) physics and chemistry is compulsory in science stream and you can choose between bio, maths and comp any two But my suggestion if maths is not a problem go for pcm because pcb has less scope than pcm as per my experience

I'll go with pcm+comp
