Abstract: Abstract Entrepreneurship is the backbone of economic growth and development of any nation. It is a risk-taking activity and challenging task, and needs total commitment and sincerity with fullest involvement for personal and overall growth. It is crucial for the socio-economic transformation. From the perspective of management students, it is always a complicated decision to start a new firm due to high level of risk and uncertainties. There are many factors, which act as driving forces for entrepreneurial intention. This study is an attempt to identify the various factors and the response of management students, especially in developing countries towards entrepreneurial intentions. Further, the study also explored comparison of entrepreneurial intentions among the students of metro and non-metro cities. Delhi-NCR (National Capital Region) and Dehradun in India was research study area. Students were found to have a high intention profile towards entrepreneurship in all the constructs namely self-confidence, need for achievement, risk-taking ability, and autonomy for both the samples but all are quiet high in Dehradun region in comparison to Delhi NCR.
