No, there will not be any problem as the minimum age required to appear for 10th CBSE is 14 years that makes you current age eligible to appear for 12th board examination.

You can surely take up admission in any CBSE school and move forwar with your preparation of IIT entrance examination or any other examination if you wish to.

No There will be no problem in your admission in class 12th as you have appeared for class 10th board exam at the age of 14 as the candidate should be of minimum 14 years old when appearing for class 10th.

The time when you will reach class 12th at that time you will be eligible for your class 12th board exam so don't worry about eligibility.

As per Central Board Of Secondary Education the candidate must be at least 14 years old while appearing in the matriculation exam.
So with this pattern your minimum age for appearing in the higher secondary education should be 16 year. So there is no problem in your current case.
