Abstract: Objective of this research is to examine intentions of entrepreneurship amongst students of Islamic and non-Islamic business studies in Pakistan. Data of 344 respondents from HEC recognised universities in the province of Punjab has been collected and analysed using Cramer's V test to analyse various associations. Results suggest that students pursuing non-Islamic business studies and Islamic studies are more inclined to initiate their businesses after studies as compared to students who have studied Islamic business as a subject or have pursued Islamic business studies as a whole. Students of Islamic business studies have very low inclination towards starting their own business. This research puts forward a new area of research to find dynamics of differences in entrepreneurial intentions between Islamic and non-Islamic graduates.
