    Hello Guest,


    The Educational Eligibility condition of UPSC Civil Service Exam is mentioned below:

    The candidate must hold a degree of any of Universities incorporated by an Act of the Central or State Legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an Act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University Under Section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification.

    so, it is clear that if the distance university is recognized by UGC & approved by DEC(Distance Education Council), then there is absolutely no problem.


    I hope the above information will assure you.


    THANK YOU.
