Durham, Bath and Warwick are more relaxed on it but still require quite high results, It wouldn't hurt trying to apply for them :smile:

From the Oxford site (http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/international-students/international-qualifications):

"Year XII qualification, studied with either the CBSE or ISC examination boards, with an achievement of 90% in each of the five subjects studied. Science subjects may also require that candidates take the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) entrance examinations as a pre-condition for entry."

Depends on many other factors other than your grades. Maybe 85%/90% depending on how much they like you.
