Yes, a degree from Vardhman Mahaveer Open University (VMOU) is indeed valid for UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) exams. VMOU is recognised and accredited by the UGC (University Grants Commission), making its graduates eligible to appear for UPSC exams. The medium or mode of education does not affect eligibility; having a bachelor's degree is the key requirement. So to get admission to this university, candidates must have valid scores in entrance exams MAT, CAT, CMAT, and others.
