As one of my friends is from ISI Kolkata, let me share some of her experiences about it, which might give you a clear idea.

  • During his initial and first ISI stay back in 2016, he met a few summer students from Kerala.
  • That was when he had a chance to work around any sort of language barrier. 
  • It is to be noted that Indians will be able to get by easily, especially because Indian languages share a lot of similarities. 
  • Non-Indians, particularly those from beyond the subcontinent, may have more difficulty, but I believe non-Indians are uncommon at the college level.
  • Almost everyone on campus speaks English and/or Hindi. 
  • Students and teachers, with the exception of a small minority, speak functional English.
  • A few gestures may be required while interacting with non-teaching staff. 
  • Off-campus merchants and service providers frequently speak basic Hindi, which can be witnessed with gestures. 
  • This is analogous to how in Chennai, English augmented with a few basic Tamil words and gestures suffices.
  • Furthermore, if you already know Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Sanskrit, or any comparable language, the Bengali language would be easy to learn. 

As a result, the vast majority of linguistic backgrounds in India are covered. Eventually, there's a low likelihood that an Indian from another state will have serious communication problems.
