I am new here, if any body help me will b highly appricated. I came in 2006 as student and after 2 extensions I married to a settled person in 2010 and got spouse visa in may 2011, I got my ilr in April 2013. My question can I apply for bc straight way or I hav to wait 1 year coz my wife is also not a British citizen. If she will get bc in few months so then can i apply soon after or not? Thanks.

You seem to be familiar with the rules.
You will need to wait unless she becomes a BC and then you can apply immediately after.

It doesn't matter how long you have been married or how long your wife is BC. The only thing that matters is if you meet those conditions on the day of your application. You can marry someone in the morning. She can attend a Citizenship ceremony during lunch time and you can apply for BC based on 3 years rules in the afternoon.
