Distinct: compares two or more things that are clearly different
Evident: describes how "clear" or "obvious" something is
"There are two DISTINCT possibilities: either he is telling the truth, and someone framed him; or he is actually a very clever man, and he's fooling the police."
"Based on what we know and the evidence we have, it is EVIDENT that he committed the crime."

Evident means something is clear or easy to see/understand.
Distinct is only used when comparing two or more things.
You could be “distinct” because of good grades (compared to other students), but you wouldn’t be “evident”.
