I have opted to do my Master's in English through distance learning from Kerala university. I also wish to do PhD in the same field and to write NET exam. Is it possible to get PhD or to write NET exam if I have completed my MA through distance learning? Can I opt for any other jobs like government exams with distance MA education as my qualification? Does it have any validity?
