    Yes, surely you can appear for UPSC Exams.

    The eligibility required to give this UPSC Exam is any degree from recognized university with minimum of 21 years and maximum of 30 years.

    You are eligible to give UPSC Exam, only if your degree is from a recognized university.

    The mode of obtaining the degree is not important, it can be through general or distance mode,only it should be from a recognized university.

    So, if your degree is from recognized university and if you satisfy the age criteria, then no doubt you can apply for upcoming UPSC Exams.
