Entrepreneurial intention is an essential factor in predicting students’ engagement in entrepreneurship, particularly in the context of gender differences. This study examines the relationship between entrepreneurial intentions and the fear of entrepreneurial risk among male and female students in public universities. Quantitative research involving a survey of 364 final-year undergraduate students was conducted, selected through stratified random sampling from a population of 6,926 students. Data collection instruments included the Entrepreneurship Intentions Questionnaire (EIQ) and the Entrepreneurial Fear of Failure Scale (EFFS). Analysis using t-tests and ANOVA revealed that male students exhibited lower fear of entrepreneurial risks compared to female students. However, there was no significant gender difference in entrepreneurial intentions. Regression analysis showed a negative relationship between fear of entrepreneurial risk and entrepreneurial intention ( p < 0.05). The findings highlight the importance of addressing gender-specific challenges and reducing fear of failure to enhance entrepreneurial engagement among students.
