This viral video of gender segregated classroom is from Maharashtra, not Kerala

Communal Misleading

This viral video is from a coaching institute named MOS Academy in Nanded, Maharashtra, not from Kerala.

In September 2025, a controversy erupted in Kerala after images surfaced online showing male and female participants separated by a sheet of cloth at an event organized by the Wisdom Islamic Students Organization (WISO) at a hall outside The Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT).

Against this backdrop, a video showing boys and girls wearing burqas sitting separately in a class room is going viral on social media. The viral posts claim that this Taliban-style learning is being done in Kerala. However, the reality is that these footages are not from Kerala. 

The video caption reads: “Kerala, not Kabul: Classrooms split by walls so girls can’t see boys. Same journalists who boycotted Taliban pressers? Suddenly glued shut,” 

Let’s check the truth

Fact Check-

We began our investigation using reverse image and keyword search on Google and the results led us to a similar video uploaded on Instagram. The video was posted by the account @aamersrs_mos_academy on 10 October 10, 2025, with the caption, “Balance your life with Deen and Duniya — that’s the formula for real success.

The bio of the account mentions, “Director of MOS Academy Nanded #education”. We found that MOS Academy is a coaching institute in Nanded, Maharashtra, which offers coaching for NEET, MHT-CET, JEE, and other exams. 

Furthermore, we discovered several other videos from the same classroom with a similar arrangement, including a partition separating male and female students’ sitting arrangements. 

For more clarification we reached out to MOS Academy, they confirmed to us that the video was recorded at their institute in Nanded, Maharashtra, and not in Kerala. This video shows a private tuition class, not a government or college classroom.”
