An effort is made in the present investigation to develop a scale to examine the entrepreneurial behaviour among the students who were in the final year of their basic degree in different farm universities of Karnataka state. The developed scale consists of 35 statements categorised under seven important dimensions. The total final year agriculture students in farm universities in Karnataka during 2019-20 were around 1200, but the scale was administrated to 50 final year students in the College of Agriculture, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bangalore (UAS(B)) during 2019-20. The developed entrepreneurial behaviour scale was found to be highly reliable and valid. It was found that around two –fifth of students (38.00 %) were having medium entrepreneurial behaviour.

This research identifies and quantifies the determinants of first-year academic performance in the College of Agriculture at Kansas State University, 1990–1999. Forty-eight percent of the variation in first-semester college grades was explained by high school grades, standardized test scores, socioeconomic variables, high school characteristics, credit hours completed, and major field of study. Approximately 62% of the variation in second-semester grades was explained. First-semester college grades explained 43% of second-semester grades. Several statistically significant relationships are detected, and the implications for students, advisors, and administrators are discussed.
