Both the profiles that you have mentioned here are way different from each other. There is nothing comparable between them. Hence, there are only and only difference.
Commercial Pilot flies the plane and does the operational duty for the airline whereas someone who has done B.Sc. Aviation might be working for any department as per the company requirements. It may be operations, ground handling, ramp duties, cargo, hub control, etc.
B.Sc Aviation is merely a graduation degree which allows you to call yourself a graduate and hence, eligible for any job that requires it's candidates to be a graduate.
And, on the other hand, Commercial Pil

Step 1: Obtain a Bachelor's Degree
While a college degree is not always required to get started in this career field, the BLS reports that airline pilots are required to have a Bachelor's degree, which can be in any major. However, aspiring pilots can gain more relevant knowledge by enrolling in an aviation or aeronautics Bachelors programme. Regardless of major, students must complete coursework in physics, aeronautical engineering, mathematics, and English. It's important to enroll in an aviation or aeronautics programme that has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Step 2: Acquire Flight Experience

For CPL training course, the minimum educational qualification is class 12th with PCM with 60% marks.
This is decided by DGCA and applicable to all flying schools. Bombay Flying Club also follows the same criteria.

Nope. JEE is not necessary for becoming a pilot. To become a pilot, you have two choices:-
1. Through Indian Air force (free as you train with IAF).
2. Through Flight school (will range from 30 to 60 lacs).
There are various institutes in India who trains pilot. For flying commercial aircraft, you need CPL (commercial pilot license). After that, you need to do type rating on an aircraft before joining airline as a commercial pilot.
