Financial Literacy is all components of knowledge, aptitude, and attitude towards financial products. Financial attitude is a person's propensity toward financial issues. It can be either a favourable or negative attitude toward money-related issues. The present study on attitude of young employees towards financial matters was conducted in Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat with a sample size of 60, selected from both from teaching and non-teaching employees. Result of the study shows that 73.33 percent teaching employees had moderately favorable attitude and 10.00 percent had highly favorable attitude towards financial matters. Among the non-teaching employees 63.33 percent had moderately favorable attitude, followed by 20.00 percent highly favorable attitude towards financial matters.
