You can definitely become a pilot after completing one year CPL course provided you finish the Course in one years' time. CPL course is not time bound, as it includes 200 Hrs. Flying + DGCA exams + RT + Medical.

Yes, definitely you are eligible to apply CPL after +2 with science stream. But, you need to have a good amount of money.
