Attitude is a central part of human identity. Everyday people love, hate, like dislike, favor, oppose, agree, disagree, argue, persuade etc. Hence attitudes can be defined as summary evaluation of an object of thoughts, Bohner &Wanke (2002). In this study attitude, confidence of learning mathematics, usefulness of mathematics, mathematics as male domain subject and perception of students towards mathematics were considered as major variables. 200 students from 10 secondary schools (among them 1 private school, 4 Govt. aided school and 5 Govt. secondary schools) were selected as a sample from the Athagarh Block of Cuttack District through systematic random sampling. The study revealed that private secondary school students’ have a better attitude towards mathematics than the Govt. secondary school students; Government -aided school students’ have a better attitude towards mathematics than the Govt. secondary school students; no significant difference between Government aided and Private secondary school students’ attitude towards mathematics; the female students have a better attitude towards mathematics than of male students; no significant difference between urban and rural students’ attitude towards mathematics; no significant difference between English and Odia medium students’ attitude towards mathematics. In the end, the majority of the students accepted that maths was difficult, and it required a long investment to comprehend, Tachie (2022).
