I am unable to Evaluate this integral. Can any one tell me what is the test we need to perform to tell whether the function is integrable or not:

This function cannot be integrated in terms of elementary functions.

Have a look at Liouville's Theorem on Integration in Terms of Elementary Functions if you are interested.

There is also something known as the Risch algorithm.

There's the ratio test from Calc 2 which might be helpful here.
