Question

i am a girl and if the institute in which i want to study is combined for girls and boys then can i study there?

Answer

By studying in such an institute, it will lead you to intermingling with non-Mahram males and to many other actions that contravene Shari?ah, hence, it is not permissible for you to study in such an institute.
