Hello Niranjhna. Thanks for contacting Careers360 and we hope we will be able to answer your query. 

Yes, preparing for NATA is, I should say, something akin to preparing for JEE Mains paper 2. I would like to direct your attention to this Quora question for more information about the difference between the two exams:

Also, please see here:

Hope this helps you and all the best! 

basically, the two papers have many things in common so yes you are right the preparation if NATA will compensate for the preparation for the jee main paper 2. they do share the same syllabus Jee main is conducted in pen and paper mode only NATA enables you for admission in five years architecture course in any of the top architecture college of india with the likes of the top IITs.

all the best!!!!
