Purpose of the study: The objective of the study is to critically do a review of literature on the factors impacting the entrepreneurial intention of the graduating students and to critically analyze the impact of such factors on the entrepreneurial intention of the graduating students. Design/Methodology: 269 undergraduate students were selected on a random sampling basis from Sohar University and were considered to be the sample for the study. An online questionnaire was shared through digital media for survey purposes which were filled by students. The statistical analysis was carried out using excel and SPSS. Findings: The findings of the study reveal that the Entrepreneurial intention is influenced by Graduate Potentials, Creativity, and Education of the students and not by Government support. The undergraduate students are developing creative skills and bringing out their entrepreneurial potentials and improvising their practical knowledge through their education. Implications: It was suggested that the graduating students need proper guidance to fulfill their entrepreneurial intention which is in the hands of teachers. Students should be exposed to the development of various skills – creativity, communication, presentation, marketing, funds management, etc. and they should be invited to a platform where competitions of all innovative kinds should be conducted regularly and the participants should be guided with assistance to improve their ideas. Originality: This research work is one of its first kind as no study was conducted before focusing on the entrepreneurial intentions of the students in Oman. Keywords: Entrepreneurial Intention, Entrepreneurial Potentials, Creativity, Government support, Education.
