Abstract:

Though both the skill universities are located in Rajasthan state, students representing 16 states distributed across 87 districts have preferred skill education. From the results it is evident that male students are almost double than female students, 80.6% of the students are less than 20 years of age and are from city region. Majority of the students (87.3%) opted skill education soon after completion of 12 class and 58.3% of the general category (social status) also prefer skill education. It is quite interesting to note that 75.7% of the students are having awareness about entrepreneurship but 67.6% are not studying entrepreneurship module as part of their skill course. This paper tries to understand the impact of Demographic Factors on Entrepreneurial Intention of Skill Education Students.
