This study aimed to explore university students’ regulation of cognition and their entrepreneurial intentions. The sample consisted of 722 students from three public and two private Malaysian universities. The findings showed students are different regarding their awareness of their regulation of cognition. While public university students scored higher in four aspects of regulation of cognition including planning, information management strategies, comprehension monitoring, and evaluation, students from private universities scored higher in debugging strategies and intentions to become an entrepreneur than their counterparts.
