Studies on entrepreneurial intention among students form the heart of entrepreneurship literature. Since these students are the potential entrepreneurs, it, therefore, becomes imperative to understand how their entrepreneurial intentions are shaped and what factors contribute to an increase in these intentions. For this purpose, the entrepreneurial intention of 150 business students was assessed with regard to demographics, entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial social background using independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA and Bayesian analysis. The major findings demonstrated that male students exhibit significantly higher entrepreneurial intent than female students. Older students in the sample were more entrepreneurially inclined than younger students. Further, the analysis revealed that students having self-employed friends exhibit intention towards entrepreneurship than students having self-employed parents. Surprisingly, the entrepreneurial intention of students who participated in the entrepreneurship education program was lower than those who did not. This research is a contribution to the growing body of literature that highlights various factors at play while assessing entrepreneurial intention of students. Besides, the study has implications for entrepreneurship educators and policymakers engaged in the cultivation and establishment of entrepreneurial ecosystems.

“…Considering the literature in the context of EET, the majority of the studies have not captured an integrated view of EET and higher education (Mukesh et al, 2018;Bhatia and Bhatia, 2019;Guerrero et al, 2014;Basu, 2014;Guerrero and Urbano, 2012). Also, these studies were conducted in developed countries, and there is a dearth of studies in the context of developing Asian countries (Deepali et al, 2017). It is essential to have a broader context to get a holistic view of educators' entrepreneurship education practices, and related instructing and working techniques are significant in numerous respects (Ruskovaara and Pihkala, 2013).…”

“…However, the literature is skewed towards documenting more conceptual frameworks of EET in the context of HEIs rather than the initiatives taken by the faculty members (Guerrero and Urbano, 2012). The recent studies conducted in EET in HEIs in the Indian context are related to the role of experiential learning in EET (Bhatia and Bhatia, 2019), integration of entrepreneurship in the curricula of business schools in India (Bharucha, 2019), the link between entrepreneurial education and students' entrepreneurial intentions and characteristics (Deepali et al, 2017;Seth et al, 2018;Bharucha, 2019). A metaanalysis of the studies points out that research conducted in the domain of EET has sampled only students and gauged their entrepreneurial intentions (Liñ an and Fayolle, 2015).…”

PurposeThe study aims to evaluate the components of entrepreneurship education and training (EET) in India. The paper proposes a framework for an effective EET regime for amalgamating entrepreneurship education as fundamental to mainstream higher education in India.Design/methodology/approachThe current study utilises a qualitative research technique, that is, the narrative inquiry methodology based on in-depth interviews. The study respondents included sixteen educators who are actively engaged in EET and related activities for a minimum of ten years.FindingsThe study identified five broad “meaning units” or “themes,” that is, “incremental pedagogical efficiency and flexible evaluation systems,” “entrepreneurial experience of the faculty,” “extended support,” “holistic mentoring” and “experiential learning” as components of an effective EET regime.Originality/valueThe study will help the policymakers and higher education institutions (HEIs) revisit their policy frameworks and practices to promote entrepreneurial capacity and entrepreneurial intentions among students. The study will also help to gain deeper insights into EET components and will propose a framework for an effective EET regime based on its findings.

“…However, Ferreira et al (2012) and Dinis et al (2013) did not find any significant correlation with entrepreneurial intention. Jain and Chaudhary (2017) observed in a study of university students in India that, compared with ordinary people, successful entrepreneurs have an internal locus of control. In summary, after these contradictions, we expect people with internal control points to have a positive tendency towards entrepreneurial careers (Ajzen, 1991;Esfandiar et al, 2019).…”

In Tunisia, the job that thousands of university graduates aim to do is their first choice, not to initiate their own business. This research aims to examine the entrepreneurial mentality of Sfax University students and their objectives of starting a new business by studying the disadvantages preventing them from becoming independent. First, collecting key data through self-prepared questionnaires is done for the evaluation of the explanatory factor’s role, such as attitudes, senses of control, social norms, and students’ perceptions of entrepreneurship, and how each dimension affects entrepreneurs’ intentions. Then, the use of a multiple regression model based on Ajzen’s (1991) Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is effective to analyze the data. After receiving entrepreneurship training at the University of Sfax, this theoretical framework was verified by 320 students from different disciplines. The results show that personal attitudes and perceived behavioral control are the explanation of entrepreneurial intentions.
