Assuming she is not subject to the 2 year home residency requirement, you can apply for an adjustment of status.

Applying for adjustment of status cases like this is tricky for J-1 applicants due to a possible J-1 inadmissiblity cured only by a waiver.

as such cases require assistance of a professional for more predictable results.

Since she is from India...she could be having 2 years residency requirement. If that's the case she needs waiver or less you can file the adjustment of status.
