Hello Aspirant

A company, when looking for a candidate for their job roles, sees whether you have completed your degree from a well-recognized college/university with stellar grades, and extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, to make sure that you can handle many things at once without letting your grades be affected.

Because you discontinued your studies, it may seem like you can't handle stress. The distance education part may have not looked bad were it any other course, but for BTech, companies want their candidates to have acquired their degree via regular classes. All these things will hinder your career path.

In order to cover these, please take up some online courses and projects to improve your resume, even Internships and work experience, etc. will help boost your resume. I'm not saying you are not eligible to apply, you are and you can apply, but the competition is very high and you need to stand out among the crowd.

Hope this helps
