📄 Abstract
This research article examines the impact of university-based entrepreneurial ecosystems on student entrepreneurial intentions across selected state public universities in Eastern India. Using a mixed-methods approach involving purposive sampling and descriptive statistical analysis, the study investigates how institutional support mechanisms, including mentorship, funding, technology infrastructure, and curriculum alignment, influence students' entrepreneurial aspirations and perceptions of their readiness to establish new ventures. The findings reveal significant variations in student awareness levels regarding entrepreneurial facilities and their intentions to pursue self-employment. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers and university administrators in designing and implementing effective entrepreneurial ecosystems to foster job creators rather than job seekers among the student population.
