One of my friends shared his experiences with me. Following are the experiences which may cover two questions, considering this question.
Students asked here about the environment of IIEST Shibpur; the answer is as follows. It highlights the two main environments: The Physical Environment and the other is Social Environment.
If you are concerned about ragging the non-Bengalis student, then the answer is a big No. My friend has told me that he had a friend from U.P, and both of them never faced any type of severe ragging in this institute. IIEST is strict enough for this of incidents; thereby, ragging is imaginary in this institute. But you must show respect to the senior students.
