Rafiat, Ayeni-Agbaje Abiodun; Jide, Fayomi Ezekiel Entrepreneurship education has been recognised as one of the vital determinants that could influence students’ career decisions. Understanding undergraduate entrepreneurship on campus and how business affect academic career of students is a recent development in most universities in Nigeria. Studies that investigate the effects of student entrepreneurship on campus in universities in Nigeria are relatively scarce in the literature. The objective of this research was to determine the demographic characteristics of undergraduate entrepreneurs in Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti. The research among other things is put together to determine reasons for undergraduate involvement in businesses on campus. The study also determined the extent at which combining academic work with business activities affects student performances in the university. Descriptive statistics including regression analyses and percentage of the quantitative data at the 0.05 level of significance were used to address the research objectives using SPSS (version 23).The results indicated the demographic characteristics of undergraduate such as age, gender, family background, nature of parent occupation and status at work, all have significance influence on undergraduate entrepreneurship on campus. Similarly, the R (correlation Coefficient) gives a positive value of 0.711; this indicates that there is a very strong and positive relationship between business activities (low income, government policy) and students’ academic performance. Recommendations include that university should recognise undergraduate entrepreneurship on campus and develop a framework that accommodate student involvement in business activities on campus vis-à-vis their academic performance Fourteenth Biennial Conference on Entrepreneurship/ Edited by Rajeev Sharma, Sunil Shukla, Amit Kumar Dwivedi & Ganapathi Batthini Thu, 25 Feb 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/12611 2021-02-25T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ediindia.ac.in:8181/xmlui//handle/123456789/12610 Entrepreneurship Education: The Missing Link for Enabling Entrepreneurship Gupta, Sonali; Dindugal, Sunder The article reviews the extant scholarly discourse on entrepreneurship education – the origins, design, pedagogy, and the effects.

Entrepreneurship education also needs to keep up with new insights about the entrepreneurial process and the changing nature of entrepreneurship. The paper takes stock of the state of entrepreneurship education in India and suggests a framework for aligning entrepreneurial education with the needs of the society in the context of the country’s goals of becoming a five trillion dollar economy. The paper is expected to stimulate thinking among the academia on how to design and deliver entrepreneurship education that contributes to building an entrepreneurial India.
