how to load data from an tsv (or psv) file(kept in some system B) into an oracle table(system A) without using SQLLDR???/
TSV File has data seperated by |

We cant even use UTL_FILE package as it is used only for server side action.

External tables are also server side.
If you need client side program and can't use the only one Oracle offers (SQL*Loader) then you have to build your own program I'm afraid.

Just being curious: why do you not want to use SQL*Loader? It is, as the name suggest, designed to load data into the database.

Even external tables (as Vamsi suggested) use loader access driver type, so they use loader technology. External tables do have certain advantages over SQL*Loader, so - use this feature. Just note that the input file must be located on a database server, not your local PC (while SQL*Loader works fine locally).
