Purpose: The aim of the study, which continues with the preparation of this paper, is to examine the criteria and qualifications needed by Indonesian students to become successful entrepreneurs in the future by using data from students of a private university in Jakarta, Indonesia Design/Methodology/Approach: Using a survey method of 129 respondents with data analyzed the Kruskal-Wallis H test as a rank-based nonparametric to determine if there are statistically significant differences between two or more groups of an independent variable on a continuous or ordinal dependent variable. Findings: The study results show that although there is entrepreneurial intention among respondents, the female respondent shows a higher entrepreneurial intention. Besides, the sensitive characteristics of respondents show the lowest percentage compared to the determinants of the characteristics of entrepreneurial success. And only father's occupation factor has the same effect on the twelve determinants of entrepreneurial success, while gender factors and desire to start a business show different impacts in terms of characteristics of determination and persistence, creativity and ability and honesty. Research Limitations/Implications: Although this research may have limited sampling and also that the suitability of the model is limited to one private university in Jakarta, Indonesia, the resulting estimation model is quite reasonable and has the potential to be continued in the form of further studies with a wider number of respondents and variables. Originality/Value: The main contribution of this research is to supply a framework to examine factors that reflect the special qualities of being a successful entrepreneur as a result of relevant literature studies and then compare it with surveys conducted on students as prospective entrepreneurs in the future. Therefore, this study provides a thorough and detailed analysis to understand one of the determinants of success in becoming an entrepreneur
