Since you want to join air force you need to write the Air force Common Admission Test (AFCAT).
This exam has both the Written exam and Interview.
For Written exam we need to prepare the same portion as we prepare for banking sector like:
Reasoning , Quantitative Aptitude Test , English Language and General Awareness.
For general awareness concentrate on all subjects like history , geography etc.
First you try to prepare these until you complete your graduation then after this section you will have interview of various tests which you needs to get qualified in all the sections.
So, start your preparation from now onwards only.

Dear Friend,

You can join Air Force through either of these two examinations:

CDS examination is conducted by UPSC twice a year and your age must be between 19 years to 23 years to be eligible for this examination.
