If you are particularly aiming for IVY League, then you have to be damn good in your academics and ECs. To get admission in US universities, you have to take either SAT or ACT. Both these tests are for undergraduate courses.
As an Indian student, I would suggest you to register for SAT exam as it is favorable for Indian students and due to large number of test takers. You need to understand the structure of the exam. It just measures your basic mathematics and strong language basics.
For Indians the mathematics section seems to be pretty easy, but as English is not our first language, the language section creates a bit complication.

If you are in class 11th, prepare either for SAT or ACT and IELTS or TOEFL. You need not take GRE (which is taken for Masters in USA). You must register yourself on the official websites of the respective test administrators, create an account and schedule a test date. You will find information on syllabus, test format and online test prep materials too.

SAT and ACT are both the standardized test for admission in US. While SAT is more famous in India, ACT is actually better to score high provided you prepare well for it. You may choose one or both as the colleges in USA pick up your score directly from the organisation.
I would suggest you to take a mock test for both and then decide.
