Reliability of this tool is 0.82 and 0.88. Path analysis was used for data analysis. It is found that there is an influence of attitude, perceived behavioural control and subjective norms on entrepreneurial intention among professional students in Chennai. The analysis also found that there is no influence of entrepreneurial intention on behaviour among professional students in Chennai. Hence, it is recommended that the educational institutions nurtured proper entrepreneurship education in theoretical form as well as real-time experience and motivation; the students will become entrepreneurs in their future. It may happen after their studies or sometime after having some managerial experience. It is observed that the perceived desirability to become an entrepreneur is high in the minds of students. Similarly, they were not aware much about how to start a new venture and the required basics. The academic institutions should develop a curriculum which comprises required basic and macro things which required creating a new firm.
