How is campus life in IIEST Shibpur, especially for Non Bengalis?

One of my seniors was a resident of Bhopal and he was a student of IIEST Shibpur. These are the experiences he had in the institute.

• Since the year he was granted admission, IIEST Shibpur has been taking admissions through JEE Mains and now it has a reservation of 50% of seats for home-state candidates, just like the NITs. Over the years, the number of non-Bengali students has certainly improved.
• Unlike South India, where you have to communicate in English for the majority of the time, in IIT Shibpur, the professors know how to communicate in the native language. New faculty from outside West Bengal is also being recruited since the institute converted to IIEST.
• In terms of food, if you are a vegetarian, you will probably have a good experience here. West Bengal has a variety of sweets and seafood.
• As most of your friends and peers will be Bengali, you will see a lot of them leaving for their homes on holidays and/or weekends.
• Both Bengali and non-Bengali live among each other on the campus in peace. The seniors are approachable and will always help when asked for. Ragging is strictly prohibited in the institution.
• The institute also has clubs where you can engage in interaction with students from other states. You can share your knowledge, experiences and even hone your skills in these clubs.

Overall, my senior had an enjoyable experience in the institute and he faced no prejudice from the Bengali students.
