Abstract :

The study has been designed to analyze the factors that are responsible for influencing the attitude of engineering students towards entrepreneurship. A sample of 115 respondents with different demographic factors has been selected and studied. Based on the opinion given by the respondents on various factors, opinion score was calculated. The various factors that are considered for the study include family size, anch of study, parent’s occupation, parent’s income, business interest, career plan, entrepreneurial awareness and place of living. The study also focused on whether the opinion given to different factors vary across different demographic factors. The Chi– Square test has been employed to analyze the data. The study reveals that family size, parent’s income, and entrepreneurial awareness found did not influence the entrepreneurial attitude.
