Abstract
This study aims to ascertain the factors influencing financial literacy among business management and engineering students at Batam State Polytechnic. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing primary data derived from questionnaires distributed to students in these fields. The study employed purposive sampling with N=251 participants. The collected data underwent descriptive analysis and was subjected to statistical tests including the Chi-Square (x²) test and the Mann Whitney test for two independent samples. The findings revealed that gender, grade point average, allowance, and age exhibited no significant influence on financial literacy. Additionally, variations in financial literacy were observed between business management and engineering students at Batam State Polytechnic.
