I was referred for a PM role in Accenture. Though I have 14 years of work experience, I was not considered for interview because of education gap and Distance learning Graduation. Is this fair???

Education gap might not be the reason, distance education might be. Some roles are only open for full time education folks

Could even be a project specific requirement like tier 1 or 2 colleges

None of that sort, it was a pretty mid level PM ROLE

Rather than debating on fair or unfair, focus on companies and future interviews..

There are lot of things which are not fair in this world !

I already gave my experience of 2 companies, Accenture and Deloitte, none of them considered my profile with experience of 14+ years. I have asked the right question and thanks for your comment.
