Abstract: This study aims to identify the relevant factors influencing the entrepreneurial intention of post-graduate students of the business administration programme and then focuses to measure the difference in responses among the students on the relevant factors as per personal and family background. As a sample, 70 post-graduate students with different specialisations in the business administration programmes of a public university in West Bengal have been considered in this study. RWS has been undertaken to identify the relevant factors influencing the entrepreneurial intention of students and the difference in responses among the students on the relevant factors as per personal and family background has been measured using Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H tests. Male students have more intention towards entrepreneurship than females. Moreover, students whose fathers are self-employed and have high family income tend to have a higher inclination towards entrepreneurship. Additionally, TM specialisation students have a strong intention to become entrepreneurs in future endeavours.
