Dear candidate, there is no such definite time to prepare for NEET. In our country, many coaching institutes start preparing students for NEET from eighth grade. However, majority of students start preparing for NEET/JEE after tenth grade and I personally believe that is best time to start preparing for NEET.

Eligibility for USMLE exam for students outside US:

Student is officially enrolled in, or a graduate of, a medical school outside the US and Canada listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS) which meets ECFMG eligibility requirements & criteria.

However, in our country maximum people complete there MBBS, then give USMLE exam.

Hope, it helps!
