Distance education not valid?

I have done my bachelor's and Mba from distance , university approved by UGC . I cleared my interview with Accenture but during background verification and offer discussion they asked if I have done 15 years of full time education to which I explained things. Now I am waiting for their call back. Whatever i have read says Accenture has a strict policy to not take people who have not completed 15 years of full time education.also in the job description they add this criteria specifically. But in the position to which i applied it was only minimum 15 years of education (no full time education was mentioned) Is there any exception, can someone guide. I have 5 years of experience bdw. Shall I wait or not. Kindly help

We have too many people n India fighting for fewer jobs. So, this criteria is used as a filter. If one has the right contacts, everything is acceptable.

I can understand the filter but will it still stop them to recruit after the interviews are clear and even the offer was discussed.

Pathetic TCS policy

I often get calls from TCS for hiring and this is happening from past 3 years, they collect educational and professional details then just mention...sorry you did distance learning in your graduation...they are not even bothered about professional career of 11 years and companies I have worked for...not even bothered about taking an interview and then based on that rejecting a candidate....thier pathetic policy is to ask candidates whether you did distance learning and if the answer is yes... directly no to you... people who does distance learning due to financial issues are not supposed to get a job from MNCs?? I have worked in 3 MNCs none of them asked me this pathetic question...they all evaluated me on the basis of my knowledge.
