Hi Ankita,
Here is the student visa process:

Step 2: Register with Consultancy
Register with Consultancy to start the admission & visa process. We can help you navigate through the various processes & make studying overseas easier.
Step 3: Apply for admission
Once you have decided what & where you want to study, it will help you complete the application to the institutions of your choice. At the time of application for admission you will be required to submit several documents including proof of previous academic qualifications and in most cases proof of your English language ability. Consultancy will also provide you with a checklist for the documents you will need to provide when the time comes to apply for your visa (step 5).
Step 4: Undertake Medicals and PCC
After receiving your offer letter from an institution, you will need to undertake a medical examination by one of the doctors approved by the New Zealand Government. A list of the approved panel doctors can be found by visiting:

Step 6: Pay tuition fees
Consultancy will advised you that you have received "Approval in Principal" of your visa from the New Zealand Government, you will need to pay your 1st year's tuition fees. You can choose to pay this fee through either Telegraphic Transfer (TT) or Direct Debit (DD).
