Am I eligible for IRS test after graduating from distance education?

The very first thing I would like to let you know is that to join IRS (Indian Revenue Service), you must qualify for the Civil Services examination held by UPSC.

Further, for appearing in the same examination the required minimum education is a graduation degree in any discipline from a recognized university. Further, Candidates can appear in the same examination while pursuing the final year of their degree course.

So, after completion of your graduation degree even in a distance mode of education, you will be eligible for appearing in the Civil Services examination provided your university is recognized by UGC (or equivalent bodies) for offering distance education programs and you hold the required essential qualifications other than the educational qualification too.

For complete details regarding the Civil Services examination, you can refer to the link www.upsc.gov.in.
