Possibly yes, if your college accepts the separate MH B.Sc Nursing CET exam. Not every student needs to clear NEET to get a nursing seat in Maharashtra. Some private institutes rely purely on this state-level test. So a weak NEET score doesn't automatically close the door on nursing.

Almost every nursing college in the state, government or private, is affiliated to Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, based in Nashik. This university sets the syllabus, conducts exams, and issues the final degree. So no matter which city you study in, your certificate ultimately comes from MUHS. It keeps the course content standard across colleges.

Pune and Mumbai are usually seen as the best cities for B.Sc Nursing in Maharashtra. Both cities have well-known colleges with strong hospital tie-ups for practical training. Nashik is also a good choice since MUHS, the main nursing university, is based there. Nagpur and Aurangabad are good lower-cost options with decent government colleges. The best city really depends on your budget and whether you want a government or private college. For placements and exposure, Pune and Mumbai generally lead.
