Yes, you are eligible to apply for master's programs in New Zealand for the February 2027 intake with your four-year bachelor's degree and no backlogs.

Most New Zealand universities require:
- Minimum 60-65% aggregate marks in your bachelor's degree (subject to change)
- English proficiency test scores such as IELTS (overall 6.5, no band below 6.0), TOEFL iBT (90), or PTE Academic (58), unless you meet exemption criteria

Prepare these documents:
- Academic transcripts and degree certificates
- English language test scores
- Statement of Purpose (SOP)
- 1-2 Letters of Recommendation
- Updated CV

Application steps and deadlines vary by university and are subject to change.
