Hi Alex....
There are many options which you can opt even if you are a 11 PCM student.
In India you can give any exam irrespective of your 11-12th subject. You can go into Commerce, Law, medicine just prepare for the entrance exam for which you want to pursue your furthur studies.
As for Abroad, You can give SAT or LSAT for law and apply for the abroad colleges which you want to join and whichever course you want to pursue.
- Economics is a highly sought after course. Colleges usually keep high cut-offs for economics honours. A graduate of this course usually goes into the banking and commerce sector.
- There is always the option of Physics or Chemistry honours. You receive a degree as a Bachelor of Science in that subject. People choose to follow it up with a master's in the same specialization, receiving jobs either in the research sector or as college professors.
- An interesting course is Maths honours. It can followed by a variety of Masters, including the up and coming acturial sciences. It is a new course with a lot of scope.
- English/Language honours to become a professor or maybe a public relations professional.
I'm sure that even now there are several courses I couldn't list. There's a lot of scope after Science, not just Engineering
Below are the options which you can choose other than engineering according to your interest.
1- Merchant Navy
2- Commercial pilot
3- Bachelor of science
4- Defence services
5- Railways
6- BBA
7-Commerce
8- Arts and Humanities
