Abstract

This study investigates the role of Indian educational institutions, primarily engineering and management, in promoting entrepreneurship. It investigates the impact of university assistance for entrepreneurship on students' entrepreneurial intentions. The research involved 258 students from 27 Indian higher education institutions who became entrepreneurs. SmartPLS software was used to test the proposed hypotheses using structured equation modelling (SEM) techniques. The findings show that educational institutions help entrepreneurship by providing appropriate education and creating a conducive environment for growth. This study complements previous research on individual attributes in the relationship between university support and students' entrepreneurial intentions. © © 2024 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
