I don't know about India, but U.S. graduate schools do not have an entrance exam, but may require the English proficiency exam (TOEFL).  Entrance to an engineering department depends on your academic record. I cannot list all the schools - do a Google search on engineering schools U.S.  Read the website and contact the school of your choice for exact admission requirements. I suggest not typing in all capitals - to an American that is like shouting.

As for NASA, visit the main NASA website.  U.S. citizenship is required to join NASA.

Good luck.
Paul
