Can I write the UPSC exam if I have completed my education from an unrecognized university through online distance learning programs?

No, candidates who have completed their education from an unrecognized university through online distance learning programs are generally not eligible to apply for the UPSC exam. The UPSC requires candidates to possess a degree from a recognized university or have an equivalent qualification. The recognition of the university by the University Grants Commission (UGC) or other relevant authorities is crucial to ensure the validity of the educational qualification. Candidates should verify the recognition status of their university before applying for the UPSC exam.
