Can a BSc (General) distance learning student from IGNOU appear for UPSC-CSE, IFoS, IIT-JAM, and CAT exams?

Question

So, you're wondering if your IGNOU BSc (General) degree can get you into some competitive exams. Let's break it down:

IIT-JAM: To get into an IIT MSc program, you usually need a BSc Hons or a major in Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics. If you've got a BSc General with these subjects, you might be eligible, but make sure you have at least 55% overall.
UPSC-CSE & IFoS: Generally, a bachelor's degree from a recognized university is enough to appear for these exams. So, your IGNOU BSc should work. Just double-check the specific requirements on the UPSC website.
CAT: CAT also requires a bachelor's degree. An IGNOU BSc should be fine, but again, confirm the eligibility criteria on the official CAT website.

Its a Question about your future!
