The ability of identifying profitable business prospect which also suits the personality and knowledge of a potential entrepreneur is considered as meta-skill for entrepreneurship. Thus, the study investigates the role of opportunity identification traits namely, entrepreneurial passion, creativity, self-efficacy and prior knowledge and experience, of students in promoting their intention to start a new business, i.e., entrepreneurial intention. Cluster sampling method was applied to collect the primary data from 408 Chartered Accountancy final students from Delhi-NCR region of India.

The results demonstrate that all the opportunity identification traits except entrepreneurial passion, were positive and significant in enhancing students' entrepreneurial intention. The students are required to be proficient in discovering profitable and suitable business opportunities, then only they can develop intention to choose entrepreneurial career.
