No, studying in a government school for 10th and 12th does not negatively impact your profile for study abroad applications.

Universities focus on your academic performance, standardized test scores, extracurricular activities, and overall achievements - not the type of school you attended. Many students from government schools in India are admitted to top universities abroad. Your grades and how you present your accomplishments matter most.
