1. Extraordinary leave can be granted when no other leave is admissible.

2. It can also be granted when any other kind of leave is admissible but the member of the Service applies in writing for the grant of extraordinary leave.

3. You can apply for EOL but it is the prerogative of govt.

Leave is a provision to stay away from work for genuine reasons with prior approval of the authorities. It may be granted for a casual purpose or a planned activity, on medical grounds or in extra-ordinary conditions.

As you have rightly mentioned that there is no provision for permanent employees in the CCS or any other leave regulation of the central government granting  the employee EOL for the purpose of pursuing higher studies, you cannot insist on any such non-existing rules or regulations to suit to your taste. 

You cannot avail both the benefits together i.e., the employment as well as higher studies together if you are not having qualifying service to avail the said benefits.
