Why are Nepalese students hesitant to return to Kalinga Institute of Technology?

Nepalese students suspended from the Kalinga Institute of Technology in India's Odisha state are expressing fear about returning to campus despite receiving apologies from institute officials. Their hesitation stems from recent demonstrations that occurred at the institution, which appear to have created an environment where these students no longer feel safe or comfortable. Although KIIT officials have issued formal apologies and explicitly invited the students to return to campus, these assurances have not been sufficient to overcome the students' concerns. The situation highlights the serious impact campus unrest can have on international students' sense of security and trust in educational institutions.
