  • Abstract:
  • This study explores the level of academic procrastination among undergraduate students, with particular focus on gender and domicile-based differences. A descriptive causal-comparative design was employed to collect data from 160 students (80 males and 80 females) using the Academic Procrastination Scale developed by Gupta and Bashir (2018). The study aimed to identify whether gender or residential background significantly influences procrastination tendencies. Results revealed that male students exhibited significantly higher academic procrastination than their female counterparts. However, no significant difference was observed between urban and rural students. These findings highlight the necessity of designing interventions targeted toward students more prone to procrastination.
