NO NCERT alone is not sufficient for JEE Mains and JEE Advanced. NCERT might help build up basic concepts but to gain problem solving skills for questions of difficulty level asked in JEE Mains and Advanced some standard reference books might help. NCERT might help somewhat in JEE Mains but for Advanced it won't help as questions asked in JEE Advanced are highly conceptual and require good amount of problem solving skills,approach.
