Hello Shashank, To join Indian Army as an officer, commerce stream students has two ways:
1. After class 12th, you can take entry through NDA.
2. After completing graduation, you can take entry through CDSE, NCC, JAG Entry, etc. In case of joining Indian Air Force and Indian Navy as officers, there is no provision available for commerce student right after completing class 12th. They may join Indian Navy or IAF after graduation though. Yes, you can join Airforce by applying for AFCAT examination.

If you are looking for direct entry then probably no. Since you failed in one subject it would take time to clear that and you can become overaged. Or you may not be able to get enough marks to qualified for SSB. The percentage required for direct entry are quite high and are always above 90%. You can however prepare for NDA later.

NCC is not compulsory to join IAF after class 12th. However, if you want to join as a commissioned officer in IAF, it is advisable for you to join NCC. It will help you to build your personality, which will be very helpful during SSB.

Both Indian Navy and Indian Air Force have similar opportunities. Indian Defense forces have a pyramidal organisation structure. Promotion up to the rank of Wing Commander ( Commander in Navy) are time bound. After this promotion are selection based on vacancy and performance. From Group Captain ( Captain in Indian Navy) on wards promotion chances reduces sharply because of pyramidal organisation structure. However both organisation provide very High Quality life and recognization.
