Abstract: There has been a tremendous emphasis on inclusion of entrepreneurship education at the university level. However, many factors are also responsible to enhance this spirit of entrepreneurship. The study will examine if present system of education is an asset to the development of entrepreneurship among students. The correlation values depict a weak negative correlation between entrepreneurial core and work core (-0.323) and between social core and entrepreneurial core (-0.296), a negative medium correlation between social core and individual core (-0.447) and between social core and economic core (-0.500). A medium positive correlation was found between individual core and economic core (0.517). The factor analysis suggests that the motivation to turn into an entrepreneur arises from the work core and economic core and to some extent from the social core. Higher education institutes should therefore channelise their efforts to motivate students to enhance their skills.
