    IGNOU is a central University which is fully affiliated by UGC i.e. University Grants Commission and AIU i.e. All Indian Universities. In the notification of upsc exam it is clear written that a candidate should have ugc approved University Graduation Degree for applying in upsc exam.

    You should not worry about it. You can fill the form of upsc with IGNOU degree. Not only upsc you can fill the form of any entrance exam conducted for Graduate Student. Best of luck.
