ABSTRACT
The entrepreneurial environment seems crucial as it contributes to promoting economic development and innovation in Nepal. With this mindset, this study explores the entrepreneurial appetite among non-management students at Nepali Universities, focusing on the impact of socio-demographic factors, educational backgrounds, and family involvement in entrepreneurship. For this, I employed the survey method with 108 students, which revealed that those aged 26-30 have a significantly higher entrepreneurial inclination compared to younger peers. However, no significant relationships were found between entrepreneurial appetite and gender, location, employment status, academic level, or family background. These findings suggest that age is a key factor influencing entrepreneurial intent, while other factors may require further exploration to be claimed. The study underscores the importance of encouraging entrepreneurial interest from an early age to foster economic growth in Nepal.
