Abstract: The understanding of motivation factors of students at undergraduate level may bring about insights into understanding their desire to pursue various career options. This present piece of empirical study aims to highlight if there is any difference in the motivational level among the undergraduate students across two disciplines: management and design on the McClelland's three basic motives for behaviour i.e. power, achievement and affiliation. Results indicate significant difference in power and achievement motivations between the two groups of students with management students having significantly higher power motivation and significantly lower achievement motivation than the students of design discipline, though both the groups of students have high achievement orientation.
