The cut-off marks for general category students in government BSc Nursing colleges exceed 450 NEET scores and therefore admission is unlikely unless you can attend a private college based on location choice and college rankings. If you belongs to EWS category then there is a slight edge to get a seat in government college .FOr this academic year if you want to progress your study then go with private college else in my opinion put one extra effort one more time and improve a bit.I hope you difinitely grab a good marks and will get a seat in government college.
