You'll need to check whether your qualifications are acceptable to each university before proceeding. I remember going through Oxford's list of international qualifications a couple weeks ago, categorised by country, and there were a few countries where the main/most common qualification was deemed insufficient.

What do you want to know?

Cambridge info for applicants from India:
http://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/india

Especially:
"Applications from students taking CBSE or ISC Class XII examinations will be considered but only for the following courses: Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, Natural Sciences. To be shortlisted for interview such applicants will need to have achieved a minimum CGPA of 9.8 and grade A1 in their Class X examinations in the relevant subjects. Any offers of admission made will be conditional on performance in the IIT-JEE or, in the case of Economics or Mathematics, on performance in STEP Mathematics."

Oxford
http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/international-students/international-qualifications
"India
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."
