If you are good at mathematics, especially probability and statistics, then you don't need to be worried. In the real world, you need three things to be a data scientist- (Which would depend on the projects you take on).
Learn this if you haven't, you will need this more than the other two if aren't familiar with anything in the field.
3. Coding-Since you are a student of commerce, I am assuming that you don't know coding. I suggest you start learning, and in a few months you will know enough to call yourself a coder! Coding is extremely fun, but also requires patience while solving/debugging tough problems.

Programming:
You need to have the knowledge of programming languages like Python, Perl, C/C+, SQL and Java with Python being the most common coding language required in data Science roles. Programming languages help you clean, massage and organize an unstructured set of data. Knowledge of SAS and other analytical tools.

It cannot be sure. It depends on many factors. Basically, in my opinion the IT sector will be growing since the technology will be increased at that time. So the jobs may increase. But you should know that at time the population will also be going to increase which means the competition for jobs are also tough. So I am not sure that which branch you should take. You must choose in your own. Go with the area of interest and the aim you want to achieve.
