A country needs a large number of entrepreneurs to support the resilience of the national economy. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, such as the economic recession and the increasing use of technology in the economy and business, can be seen as a barrier or support for students to have the intention to become entrepreneurs. This study aims to determine the entrepreneurial intention of students during the Covid-19 pandemic. Data were collected from 222 students across various degree and universities in Indonesia. This study used Structural Equation Model (SEM) for analyzing the data. The findings showed that personal attitude was found to be mediating the impact of relational support and educational supports towards entrepreneurial intention. It also found the direct impact of perceived recessionary of economy context towards entrepreneurial intention. The result highlights greater attention to encourage entrepreneurial intention of the student by providing more support from family, friends, and university. It also highlights digital technology usage maximizes the support that students had and boosts the student’s understanding of possibilities that exist in an unexpected situation like a pandemic.
