    Abstract: In the context of university students, gender, and various levels of education, the role that entrepreneurial preparedness plays in the interaction between entrepreneurship education (EE) and intention is still an important question. This study aims to determine the effects of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial preparedness on the plans of university students to launch a firm. Email surveys were used to gather data from several Indian institutions. After the data had been cleaned and confirmed, 326 valid responses were used for hypothesis testing using SPSS (Version 23). The findings indicate that a person's entrepreneurial preparedness strongly mediates the association between entrepreneurship education and the intention to launch a firm. Male undergraduate students exhibit a larger influence of entrepreneurship instruction on their objectives than female postgraduate students. According to the study, variables other than schooling, such as mental readiness, play a significant role in developing student entrepreneurial goals in any country.
