Therefore, it is the best time to investigate the vital factors lead the university’s student to form social entrepreneurial intention. This study employed quantitative and cross-sectional approach. The empirical data collected from approximately 1,066 students of Malaysian public universities from multidisciplinary faculties was used. There are eight (8) relationships have been tested.
