Abstract :

An assessment of the Scope of entrepreneurship promotion in educational institutions can determine the degree to which it has accomplished its objectives and it justifies the resources committed to it. This research focuses on the effective implementation of Entrepreneurship promotion programmes that can be provided by education institutions on four year basis.

This study is based on a survey among alumni of education institutions in Tamil Nadu, India. Who have attended entrepreneurship

programmes during their period of education and a group of alumni who have successfully created their own startup ventures immediately after their education?

The results presented in this study show clearly that entrepreneurship promotional activities in educational institutes makes a difference. Those who went through entrepreneurial programmes and activities display more entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions, get a job earlier after finishing their studies, can innovate more even as employees in a firm, and start more companies.
