Dear student,

Of course you will get admission in Calcutta University. You will just need toi check if you meet the required eligibility criteria to take admission in the course and college you are interested in. With every passing year, the cut-off requirements change, and due to the fact that you have graduated many years ago, a different rule might apply to you. 

It is best if you visited or called the college you are interested in directly and inquire.
