Is it laptop video card?

Yes it is. I know someone will say it is shiti and slow, but I just want to know if it is possible while mining with CPU to mine with VGA for different coin and which one?

I'll just warn you.  Of course do whatever you wish. 

Laptop mining is dangerous to your hardware.  Laptops just aren't built to have the kind of cooling or airflow necessary for consistent 100% burn, which mining will certainly put on your hardware.  Both your cpu and your onboard video or for that matter even a discrete laptop video card will be at risk for significant loss of life.

Sure, depending on the coins you mine you'll earn something. But it will almost certainly be less than the cost of your replacement hardware and electricity.  I suggest either outright buying coins or investing in a legitimate mining rig. But even then it's risky these days on ROI.
