Modernization is a socio-cultural transition process. This is a systemic transformation mechanism involving principles, norms, systems, and frameworks. The mentality, concept, views, and behaviour of man are therefore oriented to move in that direction. The term modernization is employed not only to identify shifts in a nation's material culture, but also its belief system, beliefs, and way of life in general. It is widely held that education levels decide attitudes to reform and modernization. This research paper is an attempt to study the attitude of the professional students towards modernisation. The sample consists of 185 students studying in various professional colleges located in Greater Noida, GB Nagar, UP. India. It was observed that gender and locality have no impact while choice of stream affects the attitude of professional students towards modernization.
