Data were collected among students from five different departments with 219 filled questionnaires. Data got analyzed by using SPSS V. 25 for frequencies, correlation, and regression. Findings discloses that the theory of planned behavior positively affects entrepreneurial intentions. Also, the strong relationship between TPB and EI is from the perceived behavioral control, after comes the personal attitude and subjective norms from public universities. The research concluded, there are differences between the effect and relationship of TPB on EI in a different type of universities and might be due to factors such as ways of teaching, curriculum, social and economic.
