You have B.Tech in Engineering Physics from IITB/D/M. In which year you are currently. If you looking in Europe Cambridge or Oxford are best choices.
Tests to Take from India, TOEFL/IELTS, GRE(General) & GRE Mathematics. For Internship look at Tata Institute of Fundamentals Research.(tifr.res.in) or visit internshala.com
Internships or IMO medals are a great help in International School applications.
You can talk to anothers who applying on http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/india/

Any other queries are welcomed.
