If one student from IGNOU can make to an IIM, it is enough to prove that studying from IGNOU doesn’t put a full stop to your chances. It may or may not affect your chances, that information is only available with the interviewers and is largely dependent on your overall profile.

In the PGP batch of 2018–2020 at IIM Ahmedabad, there was one student from IGNOU, who had pursued BCAF (Bachelors of Commerce in Accounts and Finance) and was a CA with 17 months of work experience.

That’s the most I know but I hope it should be enough to make you feel confident to take the exam without any prejudices.
