Chances of getting an offer?
Hi! I am an international student from India, I got 86% in my 10th Grade, and I am currently in 12th grade. I am interested in applying to course of BSc Computer Science, and particularly interested in University of Stirling. I have done a little bit of community work, have worked on some few personal projects that goes from making an website with api to using data science tools in python, i have also read some books about it. I also have participated in Robotics Summer Camp where i learned to program and build robots, and have worked on one personal project for the same. I am part of my school's IT Club, where I have participated in a lot events, and hosted a few as well. If it get decent or around the same % in my 12th grade same as 10th one. In which universities do I have chances of getting in? Is my application strong?

Yes. To be honest they will likely care little about all those extra-curricular activities (even though they are very relevant) and make their offer decision primarily based upon your academics.
Have you looked-up what Stirling expect to see for your 12th grade percentage to meet their entry requirements? I wouldn't be surprised if they're looking for 80% or above, in which case 86% would be a strong application.
On their website, it's suprisingly mentioned 65% [ https://www.stir.ac.uk/international/international-students/country-specific-information/south-asia/ ], this makes wonder if they even accept generous amount of students from india for bachelors, is there any stats i can look upon for this? also if i get through the academics part and considering i make a strong personal statement, what will decide my admission?

It is surpisingly 65%, I am wondering how many indian students do they accept for bachelors there, I mean if that is a generous amount. Also If my i get through the academics, and have a strong ps, what will stand between me and that admission offer?
If they get a lot of applications, they’ll score your personal statement closely.
However, if they are only asking for 65% in class XII, that would suggest it’s not oversubscribed and as above, they’ll chiefly be making an offer based on your academics.

The Uni Guide (here) shows that 13% of BSc (Hons) Computer Science students at University of Strathclyde are international. I don't know any source which will break this down by country.

Be wary of the percentages at Scottish universities. These are minimum percentages and often you need higher. This happens with UK students where the A level grades shown are MINIMUM and the required grades are often higher.

Extra curriculars have very little impact on offers in UK universities. In the UK offers tend to be based on educational performance ie grades.
For the vast majority of universities if your grades meet the requirement you will get an offer. Offer rates are around 90% for most courses. Those that dont get offers have either not taken the necessary subjects or their predicted grades are way below what is required.
