In a shocking turn of events, 159 students from Nepal, studying at the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, have reportedly returned to their home country, alleging mistreatment during their time at the university. The students voiced serious concerns over the treatment they received from university authorities, calling it “inhumane.”
These students had traveled to India to pursue their higher education at KIIT, one of the premier private universities in India. However, the situation took a drastic turn when they began facing what they called “abusive conditions,” both inside the campus and outside it. Their grievances range from issues with accommodations, lack of proper hygiene, and poor treatment by staff members.
The incident has sparked widespread discussions across both India and Nepal, as people question how such a large number of students could have faced mistreatment and why they did not report the issues sooner. Students recounted incidents where they were reportedly forced to stay in overcrowded hostels with inadequate facilities, facing constant pressure to attend classes, and were not allowed to leave the campus under the university’s strict supervision. Some students have claimed that they were not given proper academic support, further compounding their frustration.
The Nepalese embassy in India has intervened in the matter, expressing its concern over the situation. Embassy officials have stated that they are investigating the allegations thoroughly and have called on the KIIT administration to respond to the complaints. The Nepalese authorities are also in talks with the Indian government to ensure that such incidents are prevented in the future.
Meanwhile, the KIIT administration has denied any such allegations, stating that they have provided all necessary support to international students. According to the university’s spokesperson, the institution has always prided itself on its welcoming environment and has assured that any claims of mistreatment will be investigated.
Despite the university’s response, many of the returning students have maintained their stance, saying that the conditions they experienced were far below acceptable standards. They have also raised concerns over the lack of empathy shown by university staff when they tried to address their concerns. The return of these 159 students has left many questioning the preparedness of Indian institutions in catering to the needs of foreign students and ensuring their safety and well-being.
