It depends on the country and university, but with your Class 12 score of 69%, you may be eligible for undergraduate nursing courses in New Zealand and the UK. Australia typically requires higher English proficiency and sometimes higher science marks.

- Australia: Usually needs at least 60% in science subjects in Class 12 and an overall IELTS score of 7.0 (no band less than 7.0).
- New Zealand: Typically requires 70-75% in science subjects and at least a 6.5 overall IELTS score.
- UK: Generally asks for the equivalent of 112 UCAS points (BBC at A-Level or similar) and an IELTS score of 6.5 (no band less than 6.0).

Requirements can vary by university and are subject to change.
