Good evening sir, I wanted to ask you for a suggestion, should I prepare for the JEE in order to crack NDA? Most of my mentors are suggesting me to prepare for JEE and join Aakash for that.

Hi

It's completely your call but yes preparing for jee main will definitely will help in your NDA examination, as it has maths with same syllabus of 11th &12th. Moreover, if you prepare for jee main then you would find NDA paper comparatively easier because it's difficulty level is lower than jee main but yes you will have to additionally study English geography etc for GAT paper of NDA.
So, take your time and then decide. If you decide to prepare for JEE main then you can join Akash or any other good institute but if you are looking for an online platform for JEE main preparation then careers360 offers you jee main knockout which has AI based program for jee main preparation with video lectures, doubt clearance facility etc:-
