Yes, New Zealand accepts financial sponsorship from siblings as well as parents.

For student visa applications from India, your sponsor can be an immediate family member, including siblings, grandparents, spouses, or parents-in-law. The sponsor must provide proof of financial capacity, such as recent bank statements and income documents, along with the required sponsorship forms.
