The Data was analysed by applying correlations, linear and hierarchical regression and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The results of the study reaffirm the theory of planned behaviour in Saudi context with a significant variance of 43.2 percent in explaining students’ entrepreneurial intent. However, In the present case it is found that Both attitude and perceived behavioral control are the significant predictors of Entrepreneurial intent.
