Can I apply for CA CPT I am 36 I completed my B.Sc. Life sciences in 2006.

Yes! I think, you ought to have secured 60% in your exam to qualify exemption in CPT. I must warn you of one potential danger, though. I am a Chemical Engineer, who later qualified as CMA. I noticed that the brains of Graduates from Science stream are differently wired. And, as a result, it becomes intellectually challenging to grasp the fundamentals of book-keeping and financial accounts. I actually started with the books of 11th Commerce onwards in my 1st Gr CMA. This was a off-line catch-up IN ADDITION to the Course contents. Students with B.Com background are already soaked in Book-keeping and hence not many in the course (including the Faculty) can understand the lost feeling the Engineers have to go through. Its not difficult. Its not impossible. But, better be forewarned. And then, as a CA you ought to be more proficient in Financial Accounts than a CMA. Best wishes!
