Your class 10 marks should not be an issue when applying to Stanford for B.Sc. The SAT with essay or the ACT with writing is required for all undergraduate applicants. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), although not required, is strongly recommended for non-native speakers of English.
You may submit your IELTS scores, but note that Stanford does not recognize the IELTS as a measure of English proficiency.

Hi Ushika,
These universities don't have a cut-off. It is understood that you must be academically very strong and must be an all-rounder. Afterall, they are world's topmost. If you are planning to study MS from these universities then please check their websites since the admission process is very different and also for some MS courses a Ph.D is compulsory. Go through the department specific websites, check the class profiles and prepare accordingly.

Sorry to disappoint you my friend but it won't help much.
First of all for getting B Schools outside India you need minimum experience of around 5 years. Foreign B-Schools don't accept freshers. So first look into that. CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) is certifications for those who are looking to get into money/asset management. If you are looking to work as an equity research analyst of portfolio manager and other such jobs then CFA can help. But again there are 3 levels of CFA.

Hi Rohan,
Relevant publications and relevant project work is necessary, it may not be a full on research paper because you will learn to do research activities during your Master's degree or Ph.D. Your undergraduate project work should be related to research. Research papers are part of M.Sc and Ph.D so in due course, you will be able to produce quality research papers. They also require you to do some advanced courses in specific subjects depending on what you want to study. You can visit the university websites for details.

Hi Nishant,
Of course, they will ask for your HSC marks, what else do you think they will require? Your academic historic class 10th to 12th, along with extracurricular activities, SAT and TOEFL scores, etc., will be checked.
