Following unethical practices in higher education by academicians is a matter of global issue and concern. The term \u2018Unethical Practices\u2019 refers to Individual\u2019s behavior who are getting indulged in wrong practices. Unethical Practices in Higher Education are practiced by all academicians frequently without knowing the consequences and offenses.

For ensuring the prevention of unethical practices UGC has to set up a Consortium for Academic and Research Ethics (CARE) and issued a care reference list to prohibit predatory and dubious journals. There is a code of conduct for all academicians to maintain the quality and standards in higher education that should be taken concern. Procrastination is one of the reasons for declining the quality of higher education. This paper will bring the academicians\u2019 attention to all the major issues of higher education by procrastinating and to stop this unethical practice.
