ABSTRACT:
For the economic development entrepreneurship plays an important role that contributes in the development process. Governments and business organizations across the world have hailed the importance of entrepreneurship and its contribution to socio-cultural and economic development. Entrepreneurship is quite a novel phenomenon in academics. There is general agreement that attitude towards the entrepreneur, entrepreneurial activity and its social function is determinant factors for university students to decide an entrepreneurial career. The objective of the present paper is to compare attitude towards entrepreneurship between male and female students of private and public management institutes in India. The study also attempts at narrowing the gap in literature by examining management student’s attitude towards entrepreneurship. The study was based on primary data and respondents were selected from undergraduate students pursuing management education. The results show that there is significant difference in level of entrepreneurial attitude between male and female students. The findings of the present study can counter the findings of previous studies concerning attitude towards entrepreneurship.
