Will the baggage be allowed while travelling from India to USA?

Airlines flying out of India are normally far more lenient with students than with other travelers. As long as the baggage is not totally out of bounds e.g. 50kgs on a 23 kg limit, there should not be any trouble.

From the Emirates website, with my emphasis:

Total dimensions (length + width + height) of each piece must not exceed 150cm (59 inches). Customers with individual items exceeding above dimensions up to 300cm (118 inches) will be charged an additional fee. Individual items with total dimensions exceeding 300cm (118 inches) cannot be transported as checked baggage, and must be sent as cargo or freight.

So it seems you will be charged a fee, if your item appears to be significantly larger than the allowed limit. I have yet to see someone take a measuring tape out at the checkin desk in all my flights on Emirates, so how strictly this policy is enforced I do not know.

However, if you run into an especially astute check in agent, be ready to [a] beg for forgiveness [b] pay for the excess.
