There is no problem with your height. The problem is your subjects. As for being an Air Force Pilot you should complete your graduation with physics and mathematics. So I am very sorry to say but you are not eligible for this job. Thanks

One can become pilot through NDA exam,clearing which have to undergo a 3 year training at NDA, Khadakwasla, followed by flying training at Air Force Training establishments. After which the candidate will be commissioned as "permanent commission officers" and may be posted as pilots at any Air Force station.

You have not mentioned your age.

#There is Height-Weight criteria according to age for joining Indian Air Force.
But as you have mentioned that you have recently completed your graduation means
your age will be 20 or more.

#for age range 18-22 minimum required height is 152 cm and min. weight should be 47 kg and for age 23-27 minimum required height is 152 cm and min. weight should be 50 kg.

You are eligible for applying to Indian Air Force to become a Fighter pilot with this stream in graduation.
