Hi

On the basis of your qualification of diploma in engineering qualification, you will be eligible for jee main. So, don't worry even if you have done 12th from commerce.

This is because,

3 year diploma in Engineering which is approved  by either AICTE or a State Board of Technical Education is equivalent  to 10 + 2 in order to be eligible for both JEE main and JEE advanced examination

You can check the same in the list of equivalent examinations on the page number 11th of Information Bulletin released by NTA ,the link to download it is provided below:-
