It largely depends upon the personal qualities like accepting challenges, bearing risk, creativity, organizing and co-coordinating the process of entrepreneurs. And the word coerce here means the factors which persuade an individual to proactively pursue opportunities and creatively respond to challenges, task, needs, and obstacles in innovative ways. Therefore, Entrepreneurial coerce is mainly associated with five main factors such as personal elements/traits factor (need for achievement, internal control, taking risk), personal environmental factor (family status, gender and having business-owning family), personal objective factor (being the owner of business, financial guarantee and vision), business environment factor (competition, societal attitudes towards new businesses and the accessibility of loan) and business idea factor (Naffziger, Hornby & Kuratko, 1994). The attitude of an entrepreneur is restrained by these factors. Looking at the present insight, the main purpose of the study is designed to identify the basic elements lashing entrepreneurship among (male and female) students.
