Recently I received an acceptance that my paper is going to publish in the Indian Journal of Science and Technology. Definitely its a great news.
But how can I confirm that its a Q1 (ISI)? Can anyone help me plz?

Thomson Reuters' database ISI is highly elitist. It is not really open but your library should be subscribed to a paid service.
Then, once you are there, you have to hit the right category where you "want to have it appear in upper 1Q (I think this classification in quartiles is for SJR-SCImago, by the way, you might be mixing up).
You then choose "JCR Science Edition" index instead of Social Science.
Then you need to choose the category (this is the main issue): every field ranks a journal differently.
ISI has no quartiles so if you want to check if your journal is top 25%, you have to get the total number of journals in the same subject category and check the Rank (from 1 to N). The rest is simple arithmetic.
I did check "Indian Journal of Science and Technology" to no avail.
I went to http://www.indjst.org/ I saw SJR but not JCR (ISI Web Knowledge). SJR has 1Q-4Q system and it has much larger number of journals, thus, higher chance for a journal to get into the list. SJR is free access
Good luck
I can confirm that the search by full journal name in the JCR Science Edition and JCR Social Sciences Edition produces no result, i.e., the journal is not in these databases.
