Hi Sreeram,
If the ball hits any part of the top of the table it is considered to be in. So even if it hits the edge it is a good shot.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
