Viral video of gender-divided classroom is from Maharashtra, not Kerala
A video depicting a classroom divided by a half wall, with burqa-clad female students seated on one side of the partition and male students on the other, is going viral on the internet. This video is being shared with the claim that the footage shows a college classroom in Kerala.

The video garnered around 160,000 views.
X user Jitendra Pratap Singh (@jpsin1) also shared the video with similar claims. (Archive)
The post received 17,000 views.
Readers should note that X users Ocean Jain and Jitendra Prata Singh have been found to be amplifying communal misinformation regularly. Alt News has debunked several of their claims in the past.
An Instagram page, India.unravelled, shared the video claiming that the video was not from Pakistan but from Kerala, a communist state.
The post has amassed 115,000 views.
It is worth noting that Kerala, a Communist party ruled state which has around 27% Muslim population, is often targeted by the Right wing with anti-Muslim narratives. The video is being shared with a similar intent.

Fact Check
A reverse image search on a few keyframes of te viral video led us to an Instagram account named aamersrs_mos_academy, which posted the same video on October 10, 2025. The video was uploaded by this account in collaboration with another account named Mukhtar Sir.
According to the Instagram bio of aamersrs_mos_academy, this individual is the director of MOS Academy Nanded.
As we dug further, we could confirm that MOS Academy, a private coaching centre, was not located in Kerala, but in Nanded, Maharashtra. It is not a government college as claimed.
To sum up, the claims that the video depicting a classroom with a partition segregating female students from male students is from a college in Kerala are false. The video is from a private coaching centre in Nanded, Maharashtra.
