Total 560 questionnaires were distributed among randomly selected students of management science and economics departments in seven universities of Punjab and Islamabad capital of Pakistan.

Current study results of bootstrapping by Smart PLS-3 revealed that LO and EI have substantial effect on adaptability of entrepreneurship in university students of Pakistan.
