Hey,

Yes you can apply for government jobs,distance education is valid for govt jobs. For govt jobs, selection process is same so no partiality is possible. Where only written exams are conducted, you can rest assured that you are treated like any other regular degree candidates. Few jobs conducts interview, there they check many things. One small thing is distance learning/ college name etc. This is only a small point there. Your performance in interview depends on many things. You can prepare for that.
