Pertaining to data analysis both qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques mainly descriptive analysis using percentages, tables and graphs were employed.

Entrepreneurship has become a crucial area to study and understand – especially with respect to, attitudes toward entrepreneur, motivations, constraints and consequences. Female undergraduates students are chosen for the current study is because they are at a period in their career development where they are considering different career routes and are therefore, a potential source of future female entrepreneurs. For this study, cross-sectional, descriptive and inferential designs study were used. For this study both primary and secondary data were used. To analysis data the researchers had used both qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques mainly descriptive analysis using percentages, tables and graphs. While for inferential statistics like distribution based analysis for nominal data type, chi-square, and multi-regression were used to test the statistically significant difference between variables and impacts of independent variables on dependent variable. The finding of the study identify that there were different barriers that affects female undergraduates for not entering into entrepreneurship. The major barriers expected were, the responsibility of running a business, lack of a ability to know how to access business information, difficult to obtain the finance necessary and lack of a good business idea as an inhibitor to entrepreneurship, lack of experience needed to run a business and lack of the business skills required to run their own business.
