I'm an NIOS passed 12th student with good SAT & TOEFL scores. Can I get into Ivy League like Harvard Stanford for undergraduate studies?

Due to ill health, I couldn't attend regular classes at CBSE and my school didn't issue my hall ticket. To save my year, I passed from NIOS. Now, people are saying it doesn't have value & I'll get problems during visa interview & college admissions & it's impossible for me to get into Harvard.
