“…H 2 : Size of the family has an influence on the career intentions of students' of HEI's Most of the authors (Colombier & Masclet, 2008;Sørensen, 2007;Carr & Sequeira, 2007;Drennan et al 2005;Arum & Mueller, 2004;McElwee & Al-Riyami, 2003;Krueger, 1993a;Krueger 1993b;Scott & Twomey, 1988) in the past have advocated that the children who grew up with entrepreneur parents had a greater propensity to choose an entrepreneurial career.

This study advances the thesis that knowledge gained from a formal entrepreneurship education program will have positive effects on an individual's overall entrepreneurial intentions through the mediating influences of attitudes and social norms favouring entrepreneurial behaviour. In this proposed conceptual framework, it is argued that the knowledge gained by students attending an entrepreneurship course will have a positive impact on the students' intentions of starting a business. Guided by the theory of planned behaviour, this study proposes a research design which involves tracking of the changes in the students' perceptions of the desirability of, selfefficacy in engaging in, and social norms supportive of, entrepreneurship and their consequent influences on the student's entrepreneurial intentions prior to the start and upon completion of an entrepreneurship course.

“…Further, Fatoki (2014) found that previous exposure to business, role model, and networks have contributed towards becoming entrepreneurs. Besides, Drennan, Kennedy, and Renfrow (2005) illustrated that parental business experience and challenging childhood have a positive impact on starting one's own business.

The study explored the effects of age; field of study, academic performance, and past job experience of undergraduate students under Royal University of Bhutan (RUB) on their entrepreneurial intention. Today, youth entrepreneurship is regarded as a career option. It is, therefore, important for the policymakers, educators, and the public to understand individual factors that influence to become entrepreneurs. This study collected data from 384 undergraduate students (sample size determined using Yamane formula) within the age group of 18-34 from four colleges under RUB using self-administrative structured questionnaires. To ensure representativeness in each selected college, it devised multi-stage proportionate sampling technique. This study conducted Chi-square test of independence to examine the influence of individual factors on their entrepreneurial intentions. The result showed that the academic course the student assumed and their past job experiences, especially in business has a relationship with their entrepreneurial career plan after graduation. Likewise, student's age influences their entrepreneurship intention. However, the result showed no relationship between academic performance and their entrepreneurial intentions after their graduation. Therefore, findings suggest the need for entrepreneurship education in the university curriculum.
