1.4 Introduction of ADBL

Agriculture Development Bank Limited (ADBL) is an autonomous organization
largely owned by the Government of Nepal. With the main objective of providing
institutional credit for enhancing the production and productivity of the agricultural
sector in the country, the Agricultural Development Bank, Nepal was established in
1968 under the ADBN Act 1967, as successor to the cooperative Bank. At the
introductory phase the bank was under ministry of agriculture which was later kept
under ministry of finance. The Land Reform Savings Corporation was merged with
ADBN in 1973. Subsequent amendments to the Act empowered the bank to extend
credit to small farmers under group liability and expand the scope of financing to
promote cottage industries. The amendments also permitted the bank to engage in
commercial banking activities for the mobilization of domestic resources. The bank
has been working as a premier rural credit institution since its establishment,
contributing substantial agricultural credit supply in the country. Rural finance has
been the principal operational area of ADBN in the past. However, the bank is also
involved in commercial banking operations since 1984, to provide commercial
banking services.
The enactment of Banks and Financial Institutions Act (BAFIA) took all the banks
and financial institutions (BFIs) under its umbrella and abolished all the acts related to
the BFIs including the ADBN Act, 1967. Since then, the bank has been working as a
public limited company registered under the Companies Act, 2006 and is licensed as

Bank" (The bank with complete banking solution at your own door step), it is spread

providing comprehensive services with complete banking solution, the bank has main
motto of promoting rural agriculture, productive and deprived sectors. ADBL has
been working in promoting agriculture and has been encouraging to develop the rural
sector farmers. The bank is committed to provide best banking services through its

CHAPTER TWO
ACTIVITIES/ROLES UNDERTAKEN DURING INTERNSHIP
Basically, internship is provided to perform the different task and activities to gain
knowledge and enrich the skills. Being an MBA student with Finance specialization,
the best area for internship would be financial industry as here the intern could
implement theoretical knowledge into the practical field. I started my internship on
January 16 and worked till March 17 2020 for a period of 9 weeks. During the period
of my internship I was placed in various departments of the bank namely remittance,
customer service, loan and account/administration where I gained a lot of knowledge
and experience on all banking activities and opportunity to observe and handle all
these departments. Understanding the working process of ADBL has helped me to
find out the various requirements that one needs to fulfill in a bank. This internship
period has helped me to understand the work team of ADBL their expectations and
work environment. I also got to learn on how to work in a pressurized environment as
the customers are not patient and handling large number of customers is not an easy
job.
2.1 TASK PERFORMED AT REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT

The remittance department at ADBL works on providing customers with the money
send from abroad from their relatives. To collect the money the customer should have
a valid identity card and remit of greater than Rs. 1 lakh needs to be deposited into the
bank account of customers which means cash payout of more than Rs. 1 lakh cannot
be made. This department also works on ECC, ATM card, SMS, mobile and internet
banking. As an intern I was involved in all the works of the remittance department
and got to learn a lot about various banking activities.
2.1.1 ACTIVITY 1: Dealing with customers and providing necessary forms for
transaction
Introduction
There is high flow of account holders for depositing interbank cheques into their
account, collecting their remittance amount, ATM cards and registering for mobile
banking. So, it is the duty of person at the department to deal with those customers
and give them the necessary information and take relevant documents. This task of
dealing with customers was assigned to the intern so that communication and problem
solving skills could be enhanced.
Procedure of the assignment
For clearance of cheques customers have to fill up the deposits voucher with all the
details of the cheque and provide bank account of ADL in which the cheque is to be
deposited. For deposits that are greater than 5 lakh identity card needs to be provided.
Regarding the remittance customers have to provide identity card so that the money
doesn’t go to other person. Similarly, customers need to fill up forms for remittance
collection, ATM card collection, mobile banking. ALL the cheques, remit, ATM,
mobile and SMS banking needs to be recorded in register for audit purpose. I was
assigned to make customers wait for their turn and not create crowd.
My role in the Assignment

After filling up the vouchers for cheque deposit the customers can go and if incase the
cheques are returned then they need to be informed about it along with the reason. I
was assigned to call all customers about their cheque return and come to collect the
cheque with the taken deposit voucher. When customers come for remittance
collection I was assigned to provide form to customers and ensure that all details
provided by the customer match with their citizenship or the type of identity card
provided. The intern had to photocopy the document and keep it for bank’s purpose.
During ATM collection a form was provided and all details filled up. The intern had
to record al daily transactions in the bank’s register. During all these activities I had to
deal with various customers and not all were patient. I was assigned to make sure that
all customers queries ere fulfilled regarding the documents required and details filled
up. As most of the customers of ADBL were not educated I had to fill up their forms
and communicate with them regarding their details.
Outcome of the Assignment
After dealing with many customers I got to develop communication skills and learned
how to work in a pressurized environment.
2.1.2 ACTIVITY 2: Entry and Scanning of ECC cheques

Introduction
There is high number of interbank cheques brought by the customer to be deposited

into their account. It is very necessary that all details of the cheque to be entered in the
system carefully as mistake in this work can lead to return of cheque that ill cause
delay in customers getting their money.
After customer fills up the cheque deposit vouchers the supervisor at the department
stamps the bank stamp on the back of the cheque and signs along with the date of the
day. Then the cheques are scanned through ECC machine and the details of the
cheque are entered in the system. After entry and scanning the cheques are authorized
by the senior head and then later deposited into respective customers account.
My role in the assignment
I was assigned with the task of scanning the ECC cheques and entering it into the
system for further processing. While scanning cheques it is compulsory that the
bank’s stamp along with sign of the department head and current date is there. I had to
ensure that the scanning of cheque is done properly and also all details of the cheque
like deposit account number, cheque amount, presented date and beneficiary account
number is filled up correctly. Also all presented cheques need to be recorded in the
register daily for audit purpose. After the cheques are entered the senior head
authorizes the cheque then department head deposits those into respective customers
account. Incase cheques are returned I had to immediately inform the customers about
the same. Then at the end I had to file all cleared cheques and put it in an envelope
with the date and keep it in the vault. I also had to make report of the presented,
rejected and accepted cheques.

2.2 TASK PERFROMED IN CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT

Customer service department is the front desk of any organization. It provides all
necessary information to the customers. For any organization, it is the main and most
important department which needs to deal with customer more than any department in
the bank. It is one of the busiest departments in the banks and it is the very place
which makes an early impression to the clients. The image and reputation of the bank
depends upon effective functioning of this department. It is the first place where the
customers first get the service. As different activities such as opening new accounts of
customers, closing existing account, issuing cheque books, balance inquiry and
providing statements, activating dormant accounts etc. are performed.

don’t need their account anymore can close their account after filling up the form and
completing necessary requirements.
For the process of opening account the customers are provided with a form that needs
to be filled up along with kyc form. The customers need to bring their citizenship
along with 2 passport size photos and a supporting document for account opening. For
cheque book issuance the customer needs to fill the requisition form and give it to the

official letter with company stamp must be brought. The account opening work is
done and it needs to be authorized by the senior head. All the accounts opened need to
be entered in register in respective files. For account closure the customer needs to fill
up a form and after authorization from the senior their amount left in the account is

account closing forms. I had to fill up all the details after asking the customer incase
customers were unable to complete or fill the form. I was also assigned with the task
of filling up deposit vouchers of the customers who were old and who couldn’t do it
on their own. This taught me on communication skills and how to deal with various
customers. I had to record all the details of new account opened and old accounts
closed.
2.2.2 ACTIVITY 2: New opening and renew of fixed deposits and KYC update
Introduction
Fixed deposit are a fixed sum of money that customers put in bank to which in return
they get a higher interest rate than the regular saving account. Customers who don’t
need money on a daily basis open fixed deposits for a term period of 1 year or less
than that depending upon the amount and need of customer. Similarly, KYC of
customers need to be updated if their information or details changes.
The customers who come for opening fixed deposits need to have a saving account
with the bank and are provided with a form in which they need to fill in the required
details and they need to provide their original citizenship along with a photograph.
After filling up the form the details are entered in the system and customers are
informed about the interest amount that they will receive. Then the fixed deposit is
authorized by the senior head and the fixed deposit receipt is filled up with deposit
amount check-writed. The process is same for new fixed deposit and renew of fixed
deposit. Also, the customers are asked to fill new KYC form for updating in the
system.
I was assigned with the task of filling up the fixed deposit forms of customers and
making sure that all details are filled up correctly. Then I had to take the form to
senior head for authorization and verification. After the fixed deposits are authorized I
had to prepare the fixed deposit receipt with details according to the citizenship. Then
the receipt had to be check-written with correct amount. Finally after signing the
receipt is handed to the customer. I needed to make sure that the transaction is
recorded in register. Similarly, I was assigned with task of updating customers KYC
forms in supervision of the department supervisor.

reissuance of cheque book the customer has to fill up the cheque requisition form and
give it in CSD. Then the cheque book is printed and recorded in the register and
provided to the customer. Regarding the statement the customer could get it without
any form in case of individual account. If the account is company account they need
to bring an official letter with company stamp.
I was assigned with task of making the cheque book of customers and recording it in
the register. I had to make sure that the customer signs on the register before taking
their cheque book.
2.3 TASK PERFROMED IN LOAN DEPARTMENT

The loan department of ADBL works with small and large businesses to finance their
needs. Also, ADBL provides loan to farmers regarding agriculture and individual
customers. The loan process begins with underwriting process and may continue for
many years as bankers develop ongoing relationship with loan clients. Loan
department is one of the most sought department in banks as it is the revenue
generating department. The loan department handles loan issuing, loan renewal, bank
guarantee and loan recovery.
2.3.1 ACTIVITY 1: Filling additional loan forms and loan renew forms
Introduction
The loan department is a very crucial part of any bank. To ensure the verification of
loan clients, their details need to be recorded properly with utmost care. Large number
of customers who visit the bank are not perfectly well known regarding the
procedures in obtaining additional or new loans. A customer who wants to add loan
must fill up the additional loan forms for which approval of branch manager and loan
officer is required. The loan renewal forms had to be filled up weeks before so that
customers don’t have to face hassle of loan renewal at last minute.
The loan clients when they need additional loans had to fill up the form and show
collateral that is enough for the loan. The branch manager along with loan officer
visits the collateral area and then approval on the loan is given. The customer’s loan
needs to be renewed yearly and for this renewal form needs to be filled up for which
the customer needs to bring required documents. The documents required for the loan
renewal includes land revenue receipt, pledge tax clearance, insurance receipt of
collateral and audit report for company loans greater than Rs. 20 lakhs.
I was assigned the task of filling form of the loan clients as most of them were not
familiar with the procedure. Also, I had to fill up loan renewal forms of loan client
whose loans were up for renewal. After filling all the forms the loan clients had to be
called to inform them about their renewal date.
2.3.2 ACTIVITY 2: Bank guarantee and bid bond entry

Introduction
Banks guarantees are written obligations of the issuing bank to pay a sum on to a
beneficiary on behalf of its customers in the event that the customers themselves do
not pay the beneficiary. Through such guarantee letters, the bank undertakes
responsibilities to provide fund (guarantee amount), following a default by you of
your contractual or other obligations. A bid bond is typically obtained through an
insurance company or bank, and it helps guarantee that a contractor is financially
stable and has the necessary resources to take on a project.
The customers fill up the guarantee forms and the loan officers prepare the guarantee
paper after ensuring that the customer’s account is upto date and the customer is able
to pay the stated amount. The bid bond is prepared to convey that the bidder is
financially stable for doing the work. For both bank guarantee and bid bond, the loan
officer prepares the bid bond paper and then it goes to branch manager for
authorization.
I was assigned with the task of entering the bank guarantee and bid bond paper in
reference book and entering the reference number. I had to checkwrite in the papers
and after authorization keep it in an envelope and give it to the customer. I had to file
the office copy of the papers in respective indexes.
2.3.3 ACTIVITY 3: Filing of the documents and loan files

Introduction
The loan files of customers have a file number and the customers are known by their
file number. The files have to be kept in proper cabinets according to their number.
Also, various documents of the customer needs to be filed in their respective file for
future reference and record.
The documents brought by the customer needs to be filed in proper files. For this th
file number of the client needs to be searched and then the document is filed in
respective file. The loan files of customers are kept or filed in cabinets according to
their number.
I was assigned with the role of filing the loan files in respective cabinets. I needed to
ensure that the files are not misplaced and kept in proper number order. I also had to
file the documents brought by the customer in their files for which the loan officer
provided me with the loan file number. Also, when clients come to sign their renewal
form after attaching the required documents and signed by the customer it if filed in
proper cabinet.
2.4 TASK PERFROMED IN ACCOUNT/ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT

mandated to provide administrative and logistical assistance to all departments of the
organization.
2.4.1 ACTIVITY 1: Scanning of documents

Introduction
In a bank it is very necessary to keep record of all the documents as you never know
when you will need a document. So, all documents needs to be scanned and stored in
computer for future purpose. Also, documents like registering or updating the user
certificate of bank’s system need to be mailed to head office for approval. All these
activities are done by scanning the document and mailing it.
The documents like user update, demat accounts, password change etc. needs to be

folders according to the type of the folder. Then the documents that needed to be
mailed to various offices was done by me.
2.4.2 ACTIVITY 2: Filing of vouchers and attendance record of bank staffs

Introduction
The vouchers of all payments need to be recorded for auditing and for bank’s
financial statement analysis. A bank needs to have record of all the payments done
and attendance of staffs to analyze their attendance percent and leave days.

The various bill payments are also collected and voucher of those are created that
needs to be filed properly according to the date. Also, the attendance of bank staffs is
maintained in the accounts department along with their leave requests and leave days.
I was assigned with the task of collecting vouchers from all departments and filing
them according to their date. Also I was given the leave sheet of staffs to be filed in
their respective files.
2.4.3 ACTIVITY 3: Locker entry and filling new locker forms

Introduction
Lockers are safe deposits that customers keep with the banks. The locker facility is
available to individuals and institutions and it is allotted in first come first serve basis.
The locker is mostly utilized for storing and safekeeping of valuable goods and
ornaments.
The customers come to access their locker along with the locker card and key
provided by the bank. The details are entered into the locker register and the
customers are then given access to their locker. The locker can be opened only with
both customer and bank key present. In case of new locker opening the customer must
have an account with ADBL and forms are filled long with citizenship and 3 pp size
photographs. The charge of locker facility varies according to size of locker the
smallest starting from Rs 2000 yearly.
I was assigned with the task of entering the locker customer details in the register and
taking them to the locker room. I was given the locker key to help open respective
customers locker and after opening the bank key is taken out and customer can c=do
their business. Also, I filled the locker opening key of customers.
2.5 PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED AND SOLVED
Various problems can arise in a bank due to huge number of customer flow and
pressure on staffs. No organization can be expected to run without any problems.
Although, timely recognition and proactive management are required for not getting
into worst conditions. As an intern I observed the following problems within the
workplace:
1. Inadequate number of employees
The organization is running large volume of transactions and expanding its scope
along with changing economic scenario of the nation, but the available human
resources doesn’t look to be sufficient enough. Because of the increasing workload,
the same number of staffs is finding it difficult to complete the tasks. Such work
pressure can be resulted into poor quality of the operations and services.
2. Lack of proper filing system
All the documents collected and managed by each of the departments respectively,
but due to proper filing System, employees need to spend more time for searching the
files. This generally resulted into delay in processing the operation ahead and
dissatisfaction of the clients also. As an intern it was my job to make sure that all the
documents and vouchers and bills are filed properly according to date.
3. Delay in posting
The bank has numerous customers and the staffs have to deal with many customers
daily and due to which there exist delay in posting as customers keep on coming and
work is staked on pending. Sometimes the staff absenteeism affects the effectiveness
of the bank. The staff’s absence adds pressure on present staffs as there are not
sufficient employees in the organization. So, I as an intern needed to ensure that the
entry of customers taking various services is done so posting can be done more
efficiently.
4. Correspondence with the customers

Staffs have to deal with numerous customers daily. Customers re of different nature
so, the interns had to deal with those customers Making them understand all the
procedures clearly. This will make work easy for bank staffs and both customers and
there was less hassle. As most of the customers of the bank are illiterate so the
corresponding response to the customers regarding the routine activities is quite
difficult.
5. File management
Most serious problems in the bank was file management. The bank files were
misplaced and arrangement was not done properly. The intern had to arrange all files
according to the respective number and date.
2.6 INTERN’S KEY OBSERVATIONS

Internship period in Agriculture Development Bank was very interesting and I
enjoyed working there. During the period of my internship, I have observed a lot of
things some are very good and some needs to be changed. This internship helped in
having theoretical and practical knowledge in this field. The key things I have
observed during my internship period are as follows:
 The bank employees were energetic, sensitive and sincere at their work. They
were punctual and hardworking.
 The working environment of the bank was very good. Staffs were very
friendly and supportive and every one treated each other as family.
 The interpersonal relation between the staffs was also very good.
 The flow of customers were high from 11 am to 2 pm. The flow was high on
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Also, during month closing the flow
was very high.
 Bank provides diversified products and services to meet different types of
customers’ expectations.
 The lending processes of quite complex and lengthy. Also, ADBL has a very
good amount of loan customers.
 There was lack of proper feedback to the problem and complaints of the
customers
 Digital attendance machine is being used in order to maintain the record of the
staff.
CHAPTER THREE
PROGRAM WORKPLACE RELATIONSHIP
An internship is a period of work experience offered by an organization for a limited

period of time. It is an opportunity offered by an organization to students doing their
undergraduates or graduates degree to work at a firm for a fixed period of time where
the supervisor teaches the intern all the works. Internship mostly last between a month
and three months. An internship gives one practical skills, workplace experience and
greater knowledge of that industry. The internship can be either paid or voluntary.
For my internship I choose Agriculture Development Bank Limited and my internship

period of 9 weeks at ADBL was a very good learning opportunity and it provided me
with a solid platform to work further in the banking sector in future. Also, the
curriculum design of PU and the implementation of it by AIM helped me have
knowledge of workplace to a great extent.
The courses I took at AIM during my MBA course helped me lot while working as an
intern at ADBL. For instance, understanding of people’s behavior, conflict handling,
understanding goals, mission, working with alignment to the strategies set, handling
business processes, knowledge of stress and measures to overcome it, understanding
workforce diversity and behaving accordingly so as to not hurt anybody’s values etc.
All the things I learned in various courses like organizational behavior, emerging
concepts of management, macroeconomics, financial management etc. have provided
me with the conceptual and money matters and business handling process of the
banks.
3.1 SKILLS USED

The skills that I used during my internship are as follows:
 Communication skills
 Time management skills
 Working under pressure
 Working with positive attitude
 Interpersonal skills
 Team work
3.2 PROGRAM WORKPLACE RELATIONSHIP

During my internship, the courses I learned at AIM in my MBA degree have helped
me in a great deal to carry out the works assigned to me properly and to completion.
Below are the courses I studied which were helpful during my internship period.
1. Financial Institution and Market:
This subject is all about the banking sector and its operation. It provides details about
the establishment, history and operation of the 4 class of financial institution i.e.
commercial bank, development bank, finance company, micro-finance credit. This
course given a detailed knowledge of banking sector, its functions, uses, objectives
and operation. Having theoretical knowledge about the banking sector operations after
studying this subject has helped me to understand the real banking world much more
clearly. Due to this subject I could understand how banks operate which was very
helpful during my internship. The theoretical knowledge could also be understood
practically which is very important.
2. Human Resource Management

Human resource management is the strategic approach to the effective management of
people in a company or organization such that they help their business gain a
competitive advantage. It is designed to maximize employee performance in service
of an employer's strategic objectives. In the current global workplace, all companies
are focused on ways to retain the talented and knowledgeable workforce. Companies
try to lower the employee turnover rate as much as possible so they offer various
benefits.
With the knowledge of human resource management, I was able to deal with
employees of every kind as there are different personalities of people and they have
different nature of work in an organization. I was also able to know about the hiring,
selection process and retention ways and promotion process of staffs. This knowledge
is very important for me in the future as it will help me very much in my career. I was
also able to cope with the employees of different culture and background.
3. Organizational Behavior
Organizational Behavior (OB) is the study of human behavior in organizational

settings, the interface between human behavior and the organization, and the
organization itself. It is the study of both group and individual performance and
activity within an organization. This area of study examines human behavior in a
work environment and determines its impact on job structure, performance,
communication, motivation, leadership, team work etc. This course helped me to
understand work behavior and work culture of ADBL.
As studied in the course, I could see all those things at ADBL like how employees
behave, their wok culture, coordination among employees, how manager leads the
organization and keeps them motivated, how miscommunication can spoil a task, how
conflicts affect the work and how they are solved. I was also able to manage stress
and workload pressure. The leadership and motivational theories helped me
understand qualities needed in workplace. I observed that the overall environment of
the organization was very friendly and co-operative. The staffs had a very good
relation with one another and the branch manager keeps everyone motivated to work
hard. In my overall internship period I got a very positive response from all of my
supervisors in different departments and the branch manager.
4. Managerial Communication
Managerial communication is a function which helps managers communicate with

each other as well as with employees within the organization. Communication helps
in the transfer of information from one party also called the sender to the other party
called the receiver. Communication is necessary for the exchange of ideas amongst
employees within the organization. Managers must communicate with their team
members to understand and address their grievances and problems.
With the knowledge I acquired in this course I was able to know about the various
kinds of communication skills and was able to apply them while dealing with various
kinds of customers with patience and positivity even under stress. This course has a
vital importance in shaping student’s communication and interpersonal skills. During
the whole internship period listening skills has also been very important to me. I tried
my best to enhance my listening and communication skills by observing the work
environment and learning from my supervisors.
5. Marketing Management
Marketing the process of communicating the value of product or service to customer,

mainly for the purpose of selling that product or service and of creating demand.
While working in a particular organization we have to know about the products that
we sell and the customers who buy those products also the target segment of the
product has to be identified. The concept of relationship marketing is also applied
here. When customer approaches a bank for account opening, loan or deposits, that
person builds a relation with the bank that can be long term or short term.
It is a fact that Nepalese banking industry is a highly regulated sector where

customers do not have to say over the services they expect from the bank. In this
scenario, relationship managers have to diplomatically sell the products under the
conditions laid by the banks. The market is competitive and in order to differentiate
the services provided by ADBL, we had to understand and grasp the emotional need
of the customers. . In the customer service department and loan department I had to
let customer know about the various types of accounts and their benefits and various
types of loans and their rates and dealing with the question and attracting the toward
the product is all marketing. Making customer realize that they require that particular
product is the core aspect of the marketing.
6. Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is the process of discovering new ways of combining resources.

When the market value generated by this new combination of resources is greater than
the market value these resources can generate elsewhere individually or in some other
combination, the entrepreneur makes a profit. During my internship in loan
department, I had to review loan files of entrepreneurs of small companies. Small
entrepreneurs who can get loan for their business where they have to submit their
proposals and their financials to thee bank. Analysis of business proposals and their
financial statements in entrepreneurship helped me in understanding and analyzing the
business plan submitted by the customers.
CHAPTER FOUR
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 CONCLUSION
Internships make candidates more competitive in the job market. In addition to
gaining exposure and experience in the field, they also provide an opportunity to see
if the particular career field is the right one based on getting personal experience in
the field. Internships are a proven way to gain relevant knowledge, skills, and
experience while establishing important connections in the field. Internships are also a
way to get your feet wet and find out if a specific field is something you could see
yourself doing full-time. Internships may be completed during fall or spring semester
or full time over the course of the summer. Internships offer students a hands-on
opportunity to work in their desired field.
A student before entering real work environment knows very little about the corporate
culture, work process, structure of organization etc. Internships help to shape a
student and prepare him/her for the real work environment. As a finance student, I
want to establish my career in financial sector so, I chose Agriculture Development
Bank Limited to do my internship. Internship at ADBL Kalanki branch was a really
fruitful and knowledgeable one. I got the opportunity to learn about various banking
activities, banking procedures, how to deal with different clients, corporate attitude all
these can never be acquired by studying in the classroom setting. I got to experience
tactic knowledge which could never have been gained through reading books or only
wth theoretical knowledge.
The internship period of 9 weeks was indeed the period of skill sharpening,
experience gaining and knowledge building. In these eight weeks I got held of myriad
of new concept regarding banking, banking procedures and accumulated handful of
worthwhile experience. I was placed in various departments so I got to experience and
learn how a particular department works and how activities are conducted. Before my
internship I was quite unfamiliar with the bank lending procedures but after the
internship I was able to gain knowledge regarding it.
In the initial period I was given only minor tasks like checking customer’s cheque
deposit voucher details, photocopying, scanning and entry in register. But as time
passed and I got accustomed to the banking process I as given bigger task like
scanning and entry of ECC cheques, KYC updates, opening customers account,
uploading customers signature in the system.
In a nutshell, the internship was really mesmerizing; the congenial staffs of the bank
along with certain degree of freedom such as I was allowed to observe the files freely
so that I can acquire knowledge from it paved a path for me to acquire invaluable
knowledge and experience. The most important thing I learned during my internship
is time management and how one should do right work in right time and schedule task
for the day.
4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS TO ADBL

I would also like to recommend few things to the organization that I realized to be the
areas for improvement. Some of them are mentioned below:
 Customer satisfaction is the most important thing in any organization. But it
was seen that some of the customers of the bank were not satisfied by the time
taken to render services. Thus, taking this into consideration ADBL should
focus more on greater customer satisfaction and prompt services.
 I felt that at ADBL there is lack of work management and less concerned for
time of self as well as customer. Sometimes customers are asked to wait for
long time for minor works.
 Adopting efficient marketing strategies to encourage more of the customers
will help ADBL to successfully compete with others.
 Finding a particular file or document was very hard as the files were not
placed according to their number. So, misplacement of files can easily occur.
So, sincerity and attention to proper filing should be given.
 There were very limited number of staffs and big volume of work. So, the staff
number can be increased so that better focus can be made on acquiring new
customers.
4.3 REOMMENDATION TO UNIVERSITY/ COLLEGE

An internship is a period of work experience offered by an organization for a limited
period. The college and university both have provided us an opportunity to gain some
practical knowledge on what w are learning in our classrooms. Theoretical knowledge
without any practical one has no use to it. Thus, the internship program offered by the
college and university in fact has been proven to be the first milestone to student’s
professional career. The internship program is to be conducted by students as per the
requirement of the university. It is also a responsibility of college to provide good and
practical opportunities to the students to impart the real work situations. These are
some feedback to the college:
 Proper inspection of intern students should be made by the college in proper

time and regular time intervals during the internship tenure.
 College should contact with the workplace supervisor before, during and after
the internship period to know about the students developments.
 Due to many colleges and university having internship at the same time it was
very hard for students to find a place in their desired organization for
internship. Also, this internship period would have been very fruitful in 6 th
trimester as students could continue with the organization as likely to get job
opportunity in the organization where they are working as an intern
 Also the internship period of 8 weeks is very limited to learn about the whole
organizational activities and corporate culture. The internship period should be
extended.
