AS you are commerce you can not appear NDA exam which is conducted through UPSC twice in a year . Only Science background student are eligible for NDA exams.

You can appear AFCAT exam which is held every year to join AIR FORCE , The graduate can apply for this exam.

No, you can't join in Indian Air force, but you can apply for Indian Army through NDA exam. Because only PCM students are eligible for Indian Air Force and Indian Navy exam.
