You have completed M.Sc in IT from distance education so you are eligible for Ph.D course but you must have valid UGC NET or GATE score card.

Final year student are also eligible for NET exam. There is no age criteria for NET exam but for JRF posts, your age should be below 28 years.

If you have got 55% marks in your M.Sc IT then surely you are eligible for PH.D admission. Just make sure that you have got your degree from recognized university and also you will be eligible for PH.D in IT stream only.

Distance mode degree is also eligible for PH.D but you must have the qualification from a recognized distance mode university. You need to crack exam and interview to get admission in a reputed college.
