Velammal College of Nursing doesn't publish exact B.Sc. Nursing cutoff marks, but admission is based on your 12th score in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English. Generally, scoring above 50% gives you a fair chance, as there are only 50 seats. There's no NEET required. Cutoffs may vary yearly based on applications received. For the most accurate info, it's best to contact the college directly or check their merit list during the admission cycle.

MH B.Sc Nursing CET is most similar to exams like AIIMS B.Sc Nursing, JIPMER B.Sc Nursing, and RUHS B.Sc Nursing. All of these exams test PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) at the 10+2 level, mostly MCQs, with a focus on biology and nursing aptitude. So their patterns and difficulty level are quite similar.

Generally, no, failing in Physics in your 12th grade with a PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) background will likely make you ineligible for a BSc Nursing program. Most nursing programs require a passing grade in all three Science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) as a prerequisite for admission.
