Which is the best month to start NEET preparation?

The best month to start NEET preparation is June after completing Class 10th, giving you 24 months of preparation time. If you're already in Class 11th or 12th, start immediately - consistency matters more than timing.

When You Should Start Your NEET Preparation: Class Wise

Class 10th Students: June (Recommended)

Starting after Class 10th boards provides the ideal 24-month preparation window. This timing allows complete focus on NEET without board exam pressure and aligns with most coaching institute schedules.

Class 11th Students: April-May

Begin during Class 11th to get 12-15 months of focused preparation. Balance current studies with NEET topics and utilize summer vacation for intensive preparation.

Class 12th Students: Start Now

Regardless of the month, begin immediately. Focus on high-weightage topics, complete NCERT within 2-3 months, and attempt maximum mock tests.
