I'm not sure how getting a master through distance education would look on potential Ph.D. applications. Generally, if it can be avoided, and you can do a M.S. at a B&M institution with a good reputation, I would advise doing that.

Usually in the U.S. the Masters and PhD are not split and most don't even get a Masters (unless they decide they are not going to continue on, some manage to nab a Masters and then leave). It's basically one program. The online Masters (and I'm not sure there is such a thing for physics) won't count for anything, you'll start fresh at the PhD program and still have to take all the intro course and take the qualification exams after the first year or two.

Yes, it is possible for you to qualify for a Physics PhD program after completing your graduation and Masters from a distance course in India. However, it will depend on several factors such as your academic performance, research experience, and the specific requirements of the PhD program you are interested in.

In order to make yourself eligible for pursuing a PhD, it is important to have a strong academic background in Physics, including coursework in advanced topics and research experience. Additionally, many PhD programs require applicants to have a certain level of proficiency in a foreign language, typically English. Therefore, it may be beneficial for you to improve your language skills if they are not already at a high level.

Furthermore, it is important to research different PhD programs to determine their specific requirements and to ensure that your distance courses are recognized and accepted by these programs. It may also be helpful to reach out to professors or admissions committees at the programs you are interested in to inquire about their specific requirements and to showcase your passion and dedication to pursuing a PhD in Physics.

Overall, while completing a distance course may present some challenges, it is possible to make yourself eligible for a Physics PhD program by demonstrating your academic excellence, research experience, and language proficiency. Good luck in your academic pursuits!
