Firstly, your question is not very specific. What is expected from Indian students at US visa interviews is mainly a couple of things viz. you are going to come back to India after your studies and you have enough funds to sustain yourself in the US for your course duration(this is mentioned on your I-20) even if you do not get funded at your university. These are the two main things they are looking at. Apart from these your acads, GRE scores and most importantly the university you are headed to matter a lot. It is difficult for me to mention all the points here but feel free to ask any specific doubts that you have. We are always there to help out. All the best!!!
