Why is NDA so underrated???

I feel NDA is such an underrated exam ; like in my school, everyone is just tryna fall into the jee or neet rat race. Many are not even thinking of writing this elite exam. I always wanted to join NDA but after seeing my peers getting mad after iits, I kinda doubt my decision (peer pressure is real). But if analysed, NDA is a much better option than jee (give reasons if you oppose!) but I never understand why is everyone freakin' about jee!!!! Need your thoughts on this!!
