If you have a degree from a recognized open university in distance mode, then surely you will be eligible for IAS, IPS and all other group exams. Only a recognized degree is required for government jobs like IAS and IPS.

Only in case of private jobs, open degree will create problems, as most of the MNCs, specially from US don't consider open degrees.
