Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The research investigates why young people avoid selecting entrepreneurship as their professional path. Research investigators surveyed 670 postgraduate students across three eastern Indian universities for evaluation of their entrepreneurial intentions and factors behind such intentions. The academic research demonstrates that entrepreneurial intentions relate positively to both career planning knowledge and competency development in entrepreneurship. The predictors which significantly influence entrepreneurial intentions include career planning with entrepreneurial capabilities according to regression results. The research categories respondents according to their planning behavior and entrepreneurial skills to reveal both variables as key factors affecting entrepreneurial intent development. The study delivers crucial knowledge which educationists should apply to transform teaching methods by integrating career planning activities and entrepreneurial training for curriculum development to boost entrepreneurship.
