This article points out that the society is becoming more and more knowledge based. Organizations that create, share and evolve knowledge are becoming the leading organizations of success. Therefore, the study focuses on knowledge sharing practices in academic institutions, here we see interesting perspectives on faculty sharing knowledge with students .The theory of planned behaviour which consists of Attitude(AT), Subjective Norms(SN) and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) is reflected in this paper, this is analysed while comparing and contrasting private and public universities across three parameters AT,SN,PBC. Attitude stands the highest in private universities as compared to public.SN is the highest overall in both private and public universities taken together; proving that people’s influence in sharing knowledge in both together is high. PBC has a high score in public universities compared to private universities.
