Will pursuing a distance graduation impact my chances of admission in a top B-School?

Pursuing graduation from distance course would not impact your chances of admission in a top B-school. You have to just be careful while doing a distance course that it is very well recognized by respective authorities like AICTE, UGC, NAAC, etc. so that you become eligible for entrance into top B-schools. You could be asked questions about your choice for distant course over regular course, so you should be well prepared for that. Candidates get selected in B-schools on their overall profile. So prepare and focus well on your management entrance exams after getting assured about the above points. You could opt for self-preparation strategy or coaching strategy or do both self-preparation as well as coaching depending on your own schedule. Prepare smartly and be thorough with news of the past year.

Getting admission in top B-schools is a matter of CAT score not Bachelor’s Degree score so if you're trying to get in admission in top B-schools try to get as much as higher marks in your CAT exams rather than graduation. As much as the distance education matters it will not affect in your Masters so if still I would suggest you to pursue any graduation degree on the regular basis so that you can get more experience of real education rather than the online or distance.

No, actually if you have pursued your graduation via distance mode then you will surely get admission in a B-School. There are no restrictions on which mode you have pursued, its just there are some institutes which prefer regular mode candidates over the distance mode but surely you can apply to get admission in the institution. To get admission in a top B-School, you will have to take CAT, XAT, NMAT, MAT, or respective state entrance exam like Maharashtra-CET. So, if you get a qualifying score in the exam and you have a cut-off percentage in the graduation and higher secondary level, you will surely get a call for GDPI and other admission processes for the institution. So, it wholly depends on you how much you can score and how much you can achieve to get admission into a good B-School. I hope this helps the aspirant to take a decision. All the best!
