The study aimed to explore scientific temper among university digital users. A sample of 250 students were selected through a random sampling method. A descriptive survey method was employed to capture university students' current state of scientific temper through a self - made questionnaire. T - test was calculated to determine the differences in scientific temper between digital users of the Science and Humanities stream. Results revealed significant differences in scientific temper between science and humanities digital users. Science stream digital users consistently exhibited higher levels of scientific temper across the dimensions of open - mindedness, curiosity, and rationality compared to their humanities counterparts. This trend was also observed among male and female participants across urban and rural backgrounds. Urban students exhibited higher scientific temper than rural students. The results underscored the importance of fostering scientific temper through science education and digital engagement.
