hi,

Yes, with 71% in Class 12th from UP Board, you can get direct admission in many private nursing colleges, especially for the General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) or B.Sc Nursing courses.

For B.Sc Nursing, most colleges ask for at least 45-50% marks in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and English. Since you have 71%, you meet the basic requirement. In some states, government colleges or reputed institutions may still require you to appear for an entrance exam, but many private colleges offer direct admission based on 12th marks.
