You can - provided performance of your duties are not affected.

I agree with experts, obtain proper permission for pursuing part time/ distance education.

As you are in the final year, and as the course is going to be completed within few months, convince the employer and take time to report after completion of the course. Generally, an employer can accept unless there is an exigency. Be certain that you can never ride two horses to two separate destinations. Decide about your career as to whether your completing graduation is priority or employment is Priority. I have seen hundreds of meritorious students discontinuing the studies as they wish to remain as support to their families as they are lower middle class and lot of responsibilities were there. In other words it depends on need for such a job so urgently now for your family can also be a deciding factor.

One thing is that you need prior written permission from the deptt for continuing study. For this you have to make a written reqauest.
If you continue this study without taking such permission in wrting then you are liable for disciplinary action.
Secondly this permission is subject to the condition that official work does not suffer.
Thirdly even if suchpermission is granted still there is no verted right for you to get leave as per your pleasure. Leave can still be refused.

You may also clarify whether you are regular postal employee or you are ED employee.

GDS (Gramin Dak Sevak) were earlier known as EDA (Extra Departmental Agents). They are are not full fledged public servants/Government employees. The post is part time. They are not governed by the provisions of Central Service Rules and it rigours.
They are governed by the provisions of Gramin Dak Sevak (Conduct and Engagement) Rules, 2011. There is no rule or provision therein which prevents or restricts or otherwise impose conditions upon the GDS from continuing with or engaging in any activity so long as such activities are detrimental to the functioning of the Post Office.
It is the basic right of every person, irrespective of his employment, to make best use of his spare time at his discretion; continuing learning, whether through a regular course or otherwise, is the noblest among such activities. As such any instruction which restricts such a right cannot be within the discipline of the Constitution.

I have seen several persons in Hyderabad working in private employment, hardly attended such Law colleges as regular students in Maharashtra, attended only examinations, and after such pass, practicing at Hyderabad and earning good reputation. They are even uploading lessons in various acts in YOU TUBE.
It all depends on managing and balancing various factors.

So in that case the querist is not a govt employee. He is not bound of CCS(COnduct) Rules. Therefore he needs no permission to continue study.
