Abstract

With the advancement of technology and increasing needs to generate employment for youths of India, it is becoming essential to provoke employment rather than to grab an employment opportunity. For college-going students, skills development courses are the need of the hour in today's world instead of just a piece of theoretical knowledge or a degree. We should implement Entrepreneurship Education Programs (EEP) in our higher education courses especially in our professional degree courses so that after assimilating an education students should be able to start up their venture. This paper analyzes the impact of Entrepreneurship Education (EE) on the Entrepreneurial Intention (EI) of higher education students. Data were collected by semi-structured questionnaires from students of higher educational institutes of Jodhpur. The seven-point Likert-type scale is used to record the agreement or disagreement of the participants. The findings of the study showed that Entrepreneurship Education has a significantly positive impact on the Entrepreneurial intention of the students. As a corollary, it can be concluded with the research that Entrepreneurial Education (EE) with some other mediating variable impacts Entrepreneurship Intention (EI) of the students of higher educational institutes in Jodhpur.
