Mostly depends on your field of study. Normally 16 years of education is enough for eligibility. Prior research is normally not mandatory for applications but you will have to make a good research proposal and preferably/mandatory (depending upon uni/program) have it endorsed by a faculty member of that university.
IELTS eligibility is 2 years but if you are serious about an application to cambridge, you will have to do lots of work yourself. Others can help you only as much
