Methodology: Inferential statistic research design was adopted for this study.32 quantitative based questionnaires were distributed to all the final year students of four colleges under Royal University of Bhutan. They were requested to rate their level of knowledge, attitude, skills and saving behavior. Inferential Statistics and pie chart were used to generate the results. Results: The study found out that final year students of Gedu College of Business Studies have high level of financial literacy compared to other three colleges.
