Persons with Intellectual Disability (PwID) face discrimination and excluded in most of the social activities due to their limitations in adaptive behaviour and intellectual functioning. A multi-disciplinary team should involve in a collaborative work to restore the maximum abilities of PwID. Due to lack of awareness among psychologist, may lead to ineffective multi-disciplinary team. It is essential to gain experience and knowledge about various disabilities, causes, characteristics features, intervention strategies, therapeutic services, and remedial teaching as the role of future psychologist is inevitable in the upliftment of the life of PwID. The objective of this study is to find out the awareness level among Undergraduate Psychology students about Intellectual Disability. Survey study under descriptive research design is employed to collect the existing facts about the awareness level of Undergraduates of Psychology programme. The results indicated that students need to gain in-depth information about Persons with Intellectual Disability to expand their skills and positively impact their career pursuits.
