The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) questionnaire along with a separate sixteen items was administered in paper and pencil form only. Overall, 370 responses were collected from male & female both. 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. While, the subjective norm did not significantly predict the entrepreneurial intent. Moreover, the findings suggest a four steps generic model of institutional educational support for entrepreneurial nurturement to the local community.
