Hi.....hope these answers will resolve all your queries:

1. I have completed my B.Com 5 years back and I am working since than so I have an experience of 5 years as well. Would that matter?

No. Your past experience will not be taken into account.

2.What is the for applying for CPT and where can I get these forms?

Please visit your nearest ICAI regional council. You can find more information on the link given below.

3. Would the university matter?

No. The minimum qualification required to get into CPT is successful completion of Higher Secondary Schooling. Needless to say... the University from where you graduated will help you to score over your counterparts during interviews.
