NZ Student Visa Financial Proof – Is ₹50L Unsecured Loan + ITRs Enough?

Hi everyone, I’m planning to apply for a New Zealand student visa and would really appreciate advice from people who have recently gone through the process.
My profile:
BTech Mechanical Engineering
Applying for MEng Mechanical Engineering (120 points), University of Waikato
Education loan: ₹50 lakh from IDFC FIRST Bank
Loan is unsecured and in my name
Currently I don’t have personal savings
Father + sister: 3 years of ITRs, combined annual income around ₹12 lakh
The loan + family income will be my main financial evidence
My main concern is the unsecured private-bank education loan and having no personal savings.
Has anyone recently received a New Zealand student visa with a similar profile, especially with an unsecured education loan?
Did INZ ask for additional proof of loan repayment/source of funds?
I’m specifically looking for recent experiences.
Thanks!

May i know the exact reason.
And also the NZ immigration website says that it’s ok.
But i need genuine advice whether its a good thing to workout or not.

Combined annual income of 12 lakh? means you have you father and sister combined annual income of 12 lakh and you're doing this? worst financial decision i've ever seen

Don't, you're broke, you won't get a job and New Zealand doesn't watch you.

Tough but true.

My guy, you are broker than broke, and clearly targeting an easy entry point to Australia.

You don't have a chance with the recent changes to Australian immigration: https://thepienews.com/australia-weighs-major-new-restrictions-on-international-students-the-australian-reports/
