Supposedly they can. All that is really required is for the state assembly to vote in favour of cession from the Union. However, just look what happened when the south tried to do that.

When several states seceded in the Civil War, their secession was ruled to be illegal and null and void. Although many people claim that states have the right to secede, the legal point has been clearly settled that states will not be allowed to exercise their right to sucession.
