Pearsion’s chi-square test was used to find out statistical relationship between the respondents with and without entrepreneurial intention and their perception for social norms and student’s t-test was used to compare mean score and significance of the results. Only two variables which are stated as, “maximum people want to do salaried job in our society” and “more often a person who is unable to get job, starts his/her business in our society” were found statistically significant. T-test also supports this finding. Only one variable which is asked as, “more often a person who is unable to get job, starts his/her business in our society” was found statistically significant.
