Hello Jatin,
There's a much difference between JEE and NDA. JEE is related to engineering whereas NDA is related to defence. Coming to the difference between the pattern of the exam, JEE comprises of three sections physics, chemistry & mathematics each of 90 marks each total comprising of 360. Whereas in NDA there are two papers, paper 1 comprises of mathematics, paper 1 is of total 300 marks. Paper 2 consists of general ability which is of total 600 marks. Paper 2 comprises of English, general knowledge, basic science & about Indian politics.
Coming to the level of questions , there's a lot of difference of the level of questions between JEE and NDA. NDA math section is not as hard as JEE math section. Yes of course you can prepare for both exam, if you are preparing for JEE then you need not to worry about the NDA math section, coming to the paper 2 if you have good concept in English and basic science then you can easily clear both the papers.
Thank you.
