Abstract: The study was undertaken during 2021-2022 at state agricultural institutions in Karnataka, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala states to analyze the relationship of profile characteristics of undergraduate agricultural students who are yet to complete the student READY program with effectiveness in entrepreneurship development. The components provided by the selected universities include rural agricultural work experience (RAWE), agro-industrial attachment (AIA), experiential learning/hands-on training, and project reports. Using simple random sampling, a total of 160 respondents (40 per university) were chosen. Data was collected via mailed questionnaires, and the data was analyzed using Spearman’s correlation. The results showed that entrepreneurship development of undergraduate agricultural students across all the four universities had positive significant correlation with parental occupation, annual income of the family, academic performance, peer pressure at 5 per cent significant level. Relatives owning business and career aspiration were highly positive and significantly correlated at 1 per cent significance level. Entrepreneurship development had non-significant relationship with gender, social stratification, rural/urban background, family type, parental education, participation in extracurricular activities and social participation.
