Topic has been moved from the Adjustment of Status forum to the Student Visa forum as the OP is not applying for a green card but for a student visa and this forum is more appropriate for that discussion.

1 and 2 depend on how important the degree is to your application, probably yes.

1. Yes you can, if a US school accepted you (a reputable one), that is good enough.

2. Hard to put a % on it, but I';d say low.

. Here are answers to your questions:-

1)Can I go for a f1 US Visa Interview without my Degree Certificate and carrying all other documents except my degree certificate or do I need to wait until I get my Degree Certificate and then go ahead and attend my visa Interview.

As long as school in the US has issued a valid 1-20 and provided SEVIS receipt you are eligible to apply for F-1 visa.

2)How high are the chances of rejection based on non producing of my Degree certificate

You will not be rejected for non availability of degree certificates. Most schools in India issue a provisional degree certificate, however the above mentioned documents are what will determine your eligibility for applying for F-1

Having said that visa depends on many factors, the main being availability and proof of funds (strong documentary evidence) and your ability to convenience the office that you will get back to your home country.

Hope this helps.
