Hi Shrishti,
New Zealand has a few world class MBA programs. But as a matter of fact MBA is a course for people with post graduate experience. I'd suggest that you gather professional full time experience of a couple of years before you think of embarking on the MBA journey. Though many students in India go for the MBA studies right after their graduation (and the schools teach them with this fact in consideration), the foreign MBAs are cut out in a different way. The Universities expect you to have gained certain amount of professional maturity and would start their courses from a level above which might be difficult to grasp for a person who has never worked in a professional environment.
Also, the foreign universities (except a few in USA) do not offer you on-campus job interviews. They provide with career services that help you improve your job hunting and self presentation skills.
My 2 cents worth is that you gain some professional experience before you apply for the MBAs overseas.

None of the New Zealand B schools (at least the ones worth studying in) would accept your application if you do not have at least 3 years of experience and they also expect you to have a minm of 550 in GMAT and 6.5 in IELTS (you need this score for your VISA anyways) .
Some of the good business courses in New Zealand are offered by the following universities:
1)Otago
2)Auckland
3)Massey
4)Canterbury
5)Waikato (does not require GMAT but requires a minm. of 5 years experience)
