Yes, you absolutely can apply for the GPAT exam at 32 years old! There is no upper age limit for applying for the GPAT exam [reference for GPAT eligibility]. This means that you can take the exam regardless of your age. The eligibility criteria for GPAT focus on educational qualifications rather than age. As long as you meet the other requirements, such as holding a B.Pharm degree, you can apply.
