Abstract

Procrastination is generally understood as the practice of irrationally putting activities or task off to a later time (Nabelkova & Ratkovska 2015). Laeus (2015) explains that it is avoidance of doing task that needs to be accomplished, it is the instance of postponement of the works and tasks that are better to be done until the following day (Dryden 2000). People's postponement of their duties and responsibilities are most typical and frequent incidents of procrastination. Academic procrastination is a type of procrastination that can be understood as voluntary or purposeful delay of the completion of an academic task. It is one of the leading factors that makes students drop out from the academic and personal endeavour as well as withdrawing midway of academic persuasion. Generally, students often say that particular subject is boring and they will do it later.
