Abstract	A descriptive study was conducted with an objective to find out the attitude towards science among secondary school students. The study was conducted with a sample of 367 students from government and private secondary schools within Aizawl district, Mizoram. The tool used was Attitude Towards Science Scale (ATSS) developed by Dr. Anuradha Agnihotri, Lecturer, Dev Samaj College of Education, Chandigarh in 2009. The findings of the study showed that the overall attitude of students towards science is low. The result of the study showed that female secondary students have a more positive attitude towards science than their male counterpart. The result also revealed that there is no difference in the attitude towards science between government and private secondary school students. The result also showed that there is no significant difference in the attitude towards science between class-ix and class-ix students. It was concluded that special emphasis and steps may be taken by teachers to motivate their students especially male students in developing scientific and positive attitude towards science. Moreover, keeping in view that science is not only meant for girls, teachers as well as the society cannot escape the responsibility to present science equally to male and female students and to expect students to engage thoughtfully in science activities. Teachers and society should work together in molding the same attitude towards science to both male and female.
