This research is motivated by the growing enthusiasm towards entrepreneurship among young people, the growing funding available in the universities and the necessity to determine the psychological and contextual factors that significantly influence the entrepreneurship intention of students. The purpose of conducting this research is to examine the key determinants of entrepreneurial intention. The test used in the current study in one sample t-test using R studios. The results indicate that all the determinants such as entrepreneurial attitude, self-efficacy, perceived behavioural control, risk-taking propensity, innovation orientation, mindset orientation and contextual influences have recorded significantly high mean scores.
