What are the IELTS/PTE score requirements for Master's admission and visa application for New Zealand universities?

For Master’s admission in New Zealand, most universities typically require an IELTS score of around 6.5 overall with no band less than 6.0. Some competitive programs (like teaching, healthcare, etc.) may ask for higher scores such as 7.0+. For PTE, the usual equivalent is around 58 overall with no section below 50.
