The objective of study is to discover the level to which entrepreneurship education learned by BHM graduates had been helpful to them in entrepreneurship development. Questionnaire method is applied to gather data from 454 BHM graduates of universities of coastal Karnataka by the use of snowball sampling techniques and six entrepreneurship teachers were carefully chosen for collecting information. The research work revealed that 6per cent of the graduates were running their individual businesses. The reasons for the low level of entrepreneurship activity on the part of the graduates are their incapability to have initial capital, nonappearance of entrepreneurship spirit and the isolated type of entrepreneurship education learned at the BHM institutes. The importance of this research work is that there is a need for educationalists to appraise the entrepreneurship curriculum to make it subject oriented or specific.
