Most of the exchanges do not accept utility tokens from a contract. Is there a way to validate/check if the target address is/belongs to a exchange?

Best Answer
If you want to check the address during the execution of a contract function on the Ethereum network, then no, not at the moment.
I can think of two ways this may be accomplished in the future:
Both methods don't exist yet, and even if they did, would not be 100% fool-proof.
If you want to check the address outside a contract, for example from a web server, you could query a website like http://etherchain.org . They add special names for important addresses. For example, you can see that this address belonged to the BTC-e exchange:
https://etherchain.org/account/0x91337a300e0361bddb2e377dd4e88ccb7796663d
And this address belongs to the Kraken exchange:
