Yes, your wife's strong CGPA and no academic gap will significantly improve her chances for both admission and merit-based scholarships in New Zealand.

Universities value consistent academic performance and a clear study timeline, which strengthen eligibility for scholarships and admissions. A good CGPA allows her to compete for merit scholarships that often require a GPA of around 8.0 or higher. No academic gaps also demonstrate commitment, making her profile more attractive to admissions committees and scholarship panels.
