Abstract
Low performance of higher educational institutions has made the environment of organizations problematic. Due to this low performance, institutions find it difficult to adjust with altering needs of the 21st century. This low performance badly influences the students’ abilities. These students get employed in different organizations of Pakistan and may became cause of organizations’ decline. On the other hand, an employability gap also exists between the employer and employees, such as employers are not satisfied with the skills and competencies of students. There is a need of Intrapreneurs at different levels of organizations. If these intrapreneurial competencies are developed among the students, they become more creative, innovative, and can play a role in development of any organization.
