While you can apply for admissions at Cambridge, your application on the basis of your Class 12th performance alone is unlikely to be accepted, since thousands of applicants with much better academic backgrounds apply every year.
To boost the chances of admission, students are advised to secure exceptional scores in other tests such as SAT, Advanced Placement (AP) test, or a one year degree in any discipline from a recognised university in India.
