At Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), the entrepreneurship subject is coded as ENT300 (Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship) and is mandatory for all undergraduate program students. ENT300 has been perceived as a non-technical subject. Due to this, people tend to assume that it is a readingbased subject where female students would perform better as compared to male students. Hence, the main question posed in this study is: is it true that there are disparities in gender performance in the ENT300 course? To address this issue, we analyse ENT300 course marks between male and female students in the UiTM Negeri Sembilan branch.
