Alka Singh Bhatt

Governments across the world have always shown keen interest in promoting entrepreneurship education in order to promote entrepreneurial intentions among university students. The current study aims to help identify the factor that stimulates student engagement in the entrepreneurship related activities, which in turn develops favorable entrepreneurial intentions. Using a student sample of 1500 student from Indian university and colleges, this study identifies four antecedents of effective student engagement namely: professional efficacy, career attitude, environment/support factors and personality. It was observed that effective student engagement positively affects the entrepreneurial intentions. This study would help policy makers design effective entrepreneurship curriculum and other related interventions to maximize the student engagement and finally leading to favorable entrepreneurial intentions.
