Hi Siddharth,
It's not so difficult to get into the top colleges, all you've to do is, get old of a current affairs book, read the news paper on a daily basis and stay updated with what's happening around the world. Also, please focus on your English. And in some colleges, focus on basic maths too. Some colleges also have Group Discussion and Personal interview so you'll have to prepare for that as well.
