Abstract

The studies concerning the evaluation of entrepreneurial theories across Indian subcontinent are scarce. Current study evaluates the theory of planned behaviour, entrepreneurial event theory and their relationship to entrepreneurial intentions in Indian context. Two hundred students from selected Northern Indian universities were covered for the present research. Awareness related to the skill-based initiatives taken and startup platform developed by the Indian government was also included as one of the antecedents in the study. The t-tests statistics show no significant difference in the entrepreneurial intentions of the male and female groups. The results of the study show a significant influence of the components perceived desirability, perceived feasibility and awareness on the intentions. The antecedents of the theory of planned behaviour also show a significant positive impact on the entrepreneurial intentions of university students. CFA was applied to test the measurement models for both the EET and TPB theories. The indicators of the good fitting measurement model were then regressed on the dependent variable.
