The major purpose of the study is to examine the universalistic and particularistic attitudes of students toward caste, religion, nationality, village and kinship endogamous and exogamous marriages. Data for the study were collected in two urban communities from four colleges in the State of Karnatak, India. The attitudes of college students toward intergroup marriages are analyzed in terms of eight socioeconomic and demographic characteristics by using the chi square statistic. The study reveals that although the majority of the students are traditional in their attitude, a significant number of them express a liberal attitude toward intergroup marriages. The study also reveals a gap between the universalistic and particularistic attitudes toward endogamous and exogamous marriages. In general males, medical students, high socioeconomic status students, and the students who approve love marriages tend to be more liberal compared to their counterparts in terms of both universalistic and particularistic attitudes
