Abstract
The purpose of advertisements is to enhance buyer’s response to products or services offered by the firm, thus
increasing its profitability. Attitude is a learned predisposition to respond in the consistently favorable or unfavorable
manner to advertising in general” While the influence of advertising on consumer behavior is inevitable, consumers
generally hold quite negative attitudes towards it. The main objective of the artical is to study the attitude of the students
towards advertisements. By using the Likert scale modified suitably, the data was collected. In all 2108, students from all
over Goa were surveyed. It was seen that the attitude of the students towards advertisements is positive and matured. The
statistical tools such as Independent sample ‘t’ test and One way ANOVA were used to find out the validity of the
statements and whether there is an association between the different categories of sample and the attributes. In spite of it
being severely criticized, students still felt that advertisements should not be taken away from the T.V.
