Hi,it depends on some factors.

If you have a high CGPA,it is your strong selling point.

If your C.G.P.A is low,I won't advice you include it.

As regard your age,if you are more than 27years,and you are applying to private organizations(except Banks),do not include your age but in a situation were you are told to include it,you should oblige them.

When applying to Government establishments and Banks,you should include your age(these organizations take Age matter seriously).Cheers
