In our society, lot of changes happened from traditional to modern. People are also changing their attitude towards modernity. Modernity means the quality or condition of being modern. Modernity is a very controversial and important aspect of our society. Attitude towards modernity plays an important role among college students. They want to change themselves to be modern by changing their behavior and attitude towards modern society. In this context, the study was conducted to find out the level of modernity of Tamil and English undergraduate students. For this study, survey method was adopted.
