A self-constructed 39-items questionnaire was used to collect the data from a convenient sample of 250 students of MBA program from the business schools of 02 public and 02 private universities of Lahore. Mean scores, standard deviations and correlations were calculated and one-sample t-test and independent samples t-test were employed to analyze the data. Students rated self-efficacy at the top followed by intensions, and motivators leading to their entrepreneurial decisions. A significant higher emphasis on intentions, self-efficacy and motivators was found in making the entrepreneurial decisions by the business students from public sector universities against those from private sector. No such significant difference was found in case of gender of the respondents.
