After completion of masters degree in correspondence mode, you are eligible for Ph.D course in regular mode but you should qualify in UGC NET exam.

The educational qualification required for UGC NET exam is masters degree from a recognized University with above 55% marks. 5% relaxation is given for SC/ST category candidates. Final year student are also eligible for UGC NET exam.

There are no age criteria for UGC NET exam but for JRF posts, your age should be below 28 years.

Yes, definitely you are eligible to opt for Ph.D course in regular mode after the completion of your Masters degree in correspondence, there is no problem in it.
Candidates those who have completed their Masters degree course from a recognised University with a minimum of 55% of marks in it are eligible to opt for the Ph.D course both in regular and correspondence mode without any problem.
