description This research examines the role of entrepreneurial education on entrepreneurial intentions among business graduates of public and private universities of Sindh, Pakistan. Since the last decades, entrepreneur education has increased tremendously even today in different disciplines pupils and students are taught entrepreneurship at various education levels. Entrepreneurship is one key aspect through which a country can be transformed into a knowledge-based economy. However, it is one of the challenging tasks to change the intentions of pupils rather than seeking a job they venture into business. The research mode was grounded in a hypothetical framework, entrepreneurial education including curricula, in encouraging entrepreneurship, to assess entrepreneurial intentions as a dependent variable with mediating role of attitude. The questionnaires were handed to students of universities by implying face to face as well as drop off and pick up methods. The derived result ratio was 492 (88%) from distributed questionnaires for the succeeding process of collecting data. The data, that was gathered and collected made handy and was analyzed by using Smart-PLS-3. Structural Equation Modeling techniques and PLS-MGA techniques for comparison of two groups. Descriptive numerical data was further carried out for showing demographic features, harmonious elements through SPSS-26, to validate the goodness –fit of the model, and hypotheses were inferred for the practical study. The suggested study model was transformed, and it plays a key role in the theory and progress of the novel variables. Three of the hypotheses H1, H2, and H3 were accepted for the study. The results of the study helped to extract a bulk amount of information on entrepreneurship education in public and private universities. Even it suggested certain recommendations and put forwarded practical measures for the succeeding research and field study in the domain of entrepreneurship with a deep interest in entrepreneurial students in the coming future.”
