Abstract: Entrepreneurs are the fortitude of any industry as they come up with an innovative business plan which eventually provides to cultural and business growth. In Ethiopia, thousands of students graduate from universities every year, but merely a rare of them plans to begin their businesses. This paper is designed to analyze the entrepreneurial intentions among undergraduate business students of the University of Gondar, Ethiopia. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), personal attitude toward entrepreneurship, subjective measures and perceived behavioral control are the main determinants that influence entrepreneurial purposes. However, attitudes have improved in this regard, and there have been diverse efforts to magnify the position of university graduates as patrons of innovative firms. The paper brings out the students’ approach and perceived behavioral control is an important impact on the entrepreneurial intentions of undergraduate business students.
