Abstract

The study of entrepreneurial intention has long been a topic of significance in entrepreneurship research. “What makes people become entrepreneurs?” is a question that many researchers have sought to answer.  This study focuses on entrepreneurial education as an independent factor with the aim of identifying how the entrepreneurial education has influence the entrepreneurial intention. A model has been proposed and an empirical test of a model was conducted among the management students in India who have exposed to management education. Entrepreneurial attitude is a mediator between entrepreneurial education and student intention, according to a process macro developed by academics. Before incorporating entrepreneurial self-effect efficacy into the model, researchers assessed the goals and attitudes of the students toward self-employment. Studies have shown an association between a person's attitude toward starting a business and their likelihood of starting a business, and between these two variables.
