Abstract

One of the most creative and significant factors influencing the state of a nation’s competitive economy is the quality of its entrepreneurial education. Entrepreneurial development programs aim for developing a person’s entrepreneurial drive and obtaining skills besides abilities essential toward carry out their entrepreneurial position successfully to develop individuals with certain skills who are able to start their own businesses. The Indian government encourages youth entrepreneurship through a number of programs. India’s youth are supported and inspired by Made in India, Start-up India, and Stand-up India initiatives. This article will examine the type of citizen that is cultivated when entrepreneurship is studied in colleges. The examination’s base is empirical research, explorative in nature, where primary data has been collected on two dimensions, entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intention construct, from the third-year engineering students who exclusively studied the subjects: descriptive analysis, scale reliability, ANOVA, and simple regression methods applied to test the relational hypothesis. The findings indicate the scope of entrepreneurial opportunities is fewer among females, although creation of value and self-esteem are higher. Comparatively with males, the entrepreneurial intention among females was found to be lower. Overall, approximately 13% of the variance explained in becoming entrepreneurs, whether male or female, is positively impacted by entrepreneurship education.
