Introduction e study is an attempt to present entrepreneurial orien- tation (EO) of the students and its linkage with their en- trepreneurial intention (EI) by using some of the most important and widely accepted entrepreneurial dimensions (EDs) [1], namely, innovativeness (INV), need for achievements (NFA), opportunity recognition (OR), risk- taking propensities (RTP), and entrepreneurship education (EE). e study also used the entrepreneurship education and gender (GEN) to find out whether these factors mod- erate the relationships of entrepreneurial dimensions and entrepreneurial intention of the students (Figure 1) [2]. It is a well-established fact that the economies of almost all countries are experiencing different levels of economic slowdown. People are losing their jobs and businesses and the employment rate is touching its new bottom in many developing and developed countries [3]. In this situation, when the new jobs are not there in the market for the students who are graduating from their universities, it be- comes imperative to understand the entrepreneurial ori- entation and intent of the students. Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention among the younger generation have always been the subject of great interest. But, lately, the researchers are also exploring different angles and scenarios involving young potential entrepreneurs [4]. Entrepreneurs are the stewards who primarily actively participate in the economic development of the country by employing and executing the plans of their entrepreneurial ventures [2]. With the growth in entrepreneurship, pros- perity in the form of newly generated employment, inno- vative products, and businesses are also achieved.
