Effect of Entrepreneurial Education on Entrepreneurial Intention of Indian Students

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to confirm whether entrepreneurial education along with other factors i.e., personal attitude, social valuation and entrepreneurial capacity significantly influence entrepreneurial intention among the students. Data have been collected by administering entrepreneurial intention questionnaire (EIQ) among the students of a renowned central university of India. The paper applies the linear regression model to examine the determinants of entrepreneurial intention. Only one constructs social valuation has been found insignificant in predicting entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, entrepreneurial capacity explains more variance than personal attitude i.e., India has comparatively less liberal entrepreneurial environment for entrepreneurs than other nations. This is one of the some studies which have examined the factors influencing the entrepreneurial intention among young adult undergraduate students.
