Are papers not published by the 'lesser' institutes?
I ask because you state that you can't test at the highest levels and so won't get into a 'top institute' but are you concerned you would not get into any graduate programs?
I ask because while the source institution might get you in front of the review committee more often, it is the quality of the work (in the ideal situation I know) that gets you into the journal. You can also publish papers as an undergrad with your adviser's support in the US, is that not true in India?
