    First, you have to clear the written test of the NDA which is scheduled twice in a year. Then after clearing it you will be called for a 5 day SSB which is an overall personality test. You need to be very well prepared for it. And after that there will be medical and finally merit list will be out and around 300 will be selected. Keep in mind. Don't take it light and prepare very well. Be confident enough and your gonna crack it.

    Definitely, NDA is an option for commerce student. Any male candidate who have passed 12th from any stream is eligible for NDA. But the criteria for all the branches of defense are different. For Air Force and Navy the candidate must have passed 12th with Physics and Maths as subject combination. BUT for Army there is no restriction as such. Being a commerce student you are eligible for Army through NDA. The age limit should be 16.5-19 years. Check out the website of UPSC to know about the previous year papers and also for the next tentative date for NDA notification.
    All the best.

    After passing 12th standard with commerce, you can join only Indian army through NDA & to join it you need to appear in NDA entrance examination conducted by UPSC twice in a year.
    -To write NDA exam, your age should be in between 16 1/2 to 19 years.
    -Only unmarried male candidates can appear in this exam & must have Indian citizenship.
