Abstract:
The study essentially sought to determine the existence or otherwise of entrepreneurial intentions among the
students. Sufficient emphasis needs to be placed on entrepreneurship education and practical
entrepreneurship schemes (such as mentorship programmes, Govt. Support and Loan schemes by Banks) if
developing countries are to realize the goal of having a productive and virile youth population, which would
represent a significant shift from today’s yawning youth unemployment position. The study collected data in
a cross-sectional manner from a random sample of 50 students drawn from a CHARUSAT. In analyzing the
data, there was recourse to the use of descriptive as well as inferential statistics. Interestingly, results show no
statistically significant relationships between students’ entrepreneurial intention and selected sociodemographic
variables such as age, gender, culture, etc. While we acknowledge that the results of this study
emerged from a sample of 50 students of a particular university and therefore betray the concept of
generalization, we are equally confident that the findings have significant implications for developing
economies.
