The academic engagement of students is important both for the organization and for the effectiveness of the educational process. The purpose of the article is to identify the role of the factors that promote or prevent the educational activity of students. The main factors that are taken into consideration are age characteristics and difficulties in educational activities. The study sample consisted of 18-25-year-old students of various universities of RA with bachelor's and master's degrees (180 students, 61% of whom are women). According to the results, Self-Focus is positively significant for academic engagement. Negative emotions in a non-modern educational environment are positive predictors and Communication difficulties are predictors for social engagement. Grades are crucial for both the academic and social engagement of students. The results of the study will be useful in the process of developing the educational policy of universities, as well as in assessing the effectiveness of the introduction of new educational practices.
