Abstract

Entrepreneurship plays a pivotal role in economic development, innovation, and job creation. The objective of this study is to analyze entrepreneurial intentions among students and to examine the impact of entrepreneurial support, entrepreneurship education, and an entrepreneurial mindset on these intentions. This study is descriptive in nature and is based on primary data collected through a structured questionnaire designed using Google Forms. A total of 151 participants from diverse educational backgrounds took part in this study, utilizing a 'convenience sampling' methodology.


The collected data was analyzed using MS Excel and Google Form Analyzer, employing techniques such as percentage analysis, pie charts, tables, and correlation analysis. The findings of the study revealed that a significant number of students are interested in entrepreneurship and have considered starting their own businesses in the future. The study also identified a positive correlation between an entrepreneurial mindset and entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, it was observed that entrepreneurial support and entrepreneurship education exert a significant influence on students' entrepreneurial intentions.


The study concludes that entrepreneurship education, institutional support, and a positive entrepreneurial mindset contribute significantly to fostering entrepreneurial intentions among students. This research underscores the importance of promoting entrepreneurship-related activities, awareness programs, and experiential learning opportunities within educational institutions to encourage students to pursue entrepreneurship-based careers.
