The Malaysian government encourages entrepreneurship among youths through funding and implementation of relevant entrepreneurship curriculum in schools and higher education institutions to further boost Malaysia entrepreneurship. The impact of the economic closure of the Movement Control Order (MCO) caused by the spread of Covid-19 in Malaysia resulted in the increased of unemployment rate and this also contributes to the problem of unemployment among students in Malaysia, which is 3.2 percent (%), out of 5.29 million graduates were unemployed in 2019 (DOSM, 2020). Therefore, in order to unravel the problem of this study, researchers used the quantitative model and cross-sectional design as the methodology in this study. In addition, the use of primary sources, which is a questionnaire method, was used to obtain feedback from the respondents and a total of 349 respondents' data were collected. In this study, the researchers emphasized three factors that were seen to influence students towards entrepreneurship, which is the factor of attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The results of the study found that all these factors had a positive influence on the students and that attitude factors exerted the most significant influence in influencing students to engage in entrepreneurship.
