kajal_123 Yes, you can apply for both UPSC and SSC CGL exams if you have completed your graduation from IGNOU or any other recognized distance learning university. The key requirement for both exams is that the candidate must hold a bachelor’s degree from a recognized university, whether it’s through regular mode or distance education.
Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is a UGC-recognized and centrally accredited university, which means its degrees are valid for all central and state government competitive exams, including UPSC Civil Services and SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) exams.
Graduation from IGNOU or any UGC-approved distance learning university is fully valid for UPSC, SSC CGL, and most other government exams. Just ensure your degree is from a recognized institution, and you meet other eligibility criteria like age limit and nationality.
