Hi Rajesh,
Yes, doing a different course will help you building a career but only if you know what you want. What are your career plans? Make a plan and figure out and choose a course accordingly. You may not get entry into a high level job initially but if you are ready for a career change then go for it.
For MBA programs you will require work experience of 2-3 years. You must also submit a GMAT score. It is often not mandatory for a graduate diploma in New Zealand. As far as eligibility goes, it seems you are quite fit for NZ. Please check websites of some universities and communicate with them for admission related information.
Good Luck!
