limitations are as follows:
The main constraints of the study is limited access to information, which has
hampered the scope of analysis
Due to the limitations of report size many of the aspects could not be discussed
in present report.
Every organization has that is not revealed to others. while collecting data it was
not possible to collect such information that hampers the confidentiality
since bank’s personnel were busy on customer service so it was quite possible to
provide sufficient time

Time is first limitation as duration of the program was of three months only.
Insufficient supply of relevant books and journals

2.1 Introduction
Banks are among the most important financial institution in the economy. Banks are the
financial intermediaries that collect money from surplus spending individual and
institutions (whose current income exceeds their current expenditure and they have
surplus funds to save and invest) and loan this fund to the deficit spending individuals
and institutions (whose expenditure on consumption and investment exceeds their
current income and who therefore need to raise fund externally through borrowing).
Banking has changed in many ways through the years. Banks today offer a wider range
of products and services than ever before, and deliver them faster and more efficiently.
But bank’s prime function remains as it has always been. In Bangladesh banks are the
first choice for saving, borrowing, and investing their money.
collects money from those who have surplus money and give to those who are in
need of money.
2.4 Banking
Banking is an activity which involves acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending
or investing. Banking also involves providing various other services along with its main
banking activity.
According to the oxford dictionary of Finance and Banking, “Banking is the activities
undertaken by bank.”
So we can say that, Banking is the summation of all activities of bank.
The history of National Bank limited is a golden stair of the history of emergence of
private banks in Bangladesh. National bank Ltd is the first and major private sector
commercial bank in Bangladesh fully owned by the Bangladeshi Entrepreneurs. The
Bank started its operation from 23rd March 1983. As a result of the collective effects of
the some eminent bankers, of failure in playing due to role in mobilizing small savings
of the teeming millions and providing improved clients services to them in our country,
the Government gave right decision to allow establishing banks I private sector.
National Bank Limited was born as the first hundred percent Bangladeshi owned Bank
in the private sector. From the very inception it is the firm determination of National
Bank Limited to play a vital role in the national economy. They are determined to bring

one promptly and with a sense of dedication and dignity.
NBL has been the pioneer in promoting readymade garment industries and still is the
single largest financier in this sector. In the early 80’s when garment industry in
Bangladesh was experiencing a process of trial, the bank foresights the bright prospect
of this sector and extend finance to the deserving and promising entrepreneurs. It
provided them with financial support including market information and advice and
today the garment sector constitutes about 66% of the total export of the country.
Our mission is to continue our support for expansion of activities at home and abroad
by adding new dimensions to our banking services which have been ongoing in an
unabated manner. Alongside, we are also putting highest priority in ensuring

Management Performance
Management means the administration and the governing body that is concerning the
whole organization. All the decision and strategies are been proposed and evaluated the
management of the organization. At National bank, the management is pretty strong and
there is lot centralization in the whole network of the bank. The management at
National bank has been divided into 3 major parts i.e. Board of Directors, the Top
management, and the group of middle managers, supervisors and the employees.
The need for a system, which could ensure quality services to customers, had always
been there. The need for such system becomes really indispensable when many banking
activities are monitored by the government. Banks that deal with banking activities on a
larger scale are the ones usually have to comply with the rules set by the government.
And, this requires a bank management system. The system has proved effective in
coordinating among the customers, the government and the banks.
It gives us a system in which the government is allowed to play an important role with
its control over the banking system. And, the bank can also offer quality services to the
customers.
It can also use money market borrowing because it is less costly and flexible compared
to deposit. A bank can also rely on various off-balance sheet items for funding to its
needs.
Fund management also depends on the effective use of the collected funds. Improper
use makes the collected funds burden for the bank. In this part, various ratios are
analyzed both in the context of interest cost of the funds and their effective utilization.
Chapter 06
Goods and services are produced for the purpose of using in daily life. Similarly,
Theoretical knowledge is acquired for the purpose of applying in the practical life. The
propensity of application of theoretical knowledge in practical life successfully
internship program is absolutely necessary because theoretical knowledge will be
fruitful if it can be applied in the practical life. When we can implement the theoretical
knowledge practically, we can say the knowledge is successful; otherwise the achieved
knowledge is valueless. Internship program is the way of implementing the theoretical
knowledge practically. However, the importance of internship may be described in the
following ways:
This report has been done as per the requirement for successful completion of the
Internship program. Exposure to the business world and acquiring practical work
experience was the primary objective of this report. I was attached with National Bank
Ltd at its Laldighir Par Branch for my internship. Through internship I got the basic idea
about the corporate culture and practices. It was a great experience. 01 May 2017 to 31
July 2017 these three month journey of my internship with National Bank Limited was
very delightful. I enjoyed a lot. All the stuffs of the bank are very friendly and helpful. I
was very lucky to get chance to experience in different departments within these three
months. Those are described below:
The first department I worked was front desk. I was there from 1st May to 24th May &
May in charge was Dilruba Akter (Assistant Officer) is also there to help me to
understand my job. I found Front Desk a little difficult. My job was to attain and help the
clients directly. I had to help clients by providing information, helping to fill up Account
opening, DPS opening, MSS opening, DBDS opening, SBDS opening, FDR opening, MBS
opening, SSS opening forms etc.
6.3.2 Clearing
The 2nd department I worked was clearing. May 25th to June 20 I was also appointed in
Principles of Management:
Principle of Economics:
The theory of supply and demand is an organizing principle for explaining how prices
coordinate the amounts produced and consumed. The law of demand states that in
general price and quantity demanded in a given market is inversely related. That is the
higher the price of a product the less of it people would be prepared to buy of it (other
things unchanged). As the prices of a commodity falls; consumers move toward it from
relatively more expensive goods (the substitute effect).
Organizational Behavior:
Marketing:
In BBA program; I have completed two courses named “Principles of Marketing” &
“Marketing Management”. These two courses teach me how to behave with
customer/client that I performed in my internship. I provided necessary information to
the customer/client according to their query via phone.
Principles of Finance:
Principles of Finance are most important subject for BBA student. I learned from this
subject annuity, debt ratio, find out the ratios etc.
Business Communication is a term that can be defined as the contact between the
people within the organization for the intention of carrying out the business activities. It
is used to promote a product, service or organization as well as pass on information
within a business or work as an official statement from a company. Business
communication is nothing but the communication between the people within the
organization for carrying out the business activities. From this course, I have learned the
various types of applications, how to prepare different types of reports, memos, letters,
agenda, etc. Therefore, this course helped me to communicate with different type of
people in the organizational and helped in writing application for internship.
Business Research:
This course helped me much in preparing this report. I learned many factors of
preparing a report from this course like selecting the appropriate courses for data
collection, for the purpose, collecting primary and secondary data, taking interviews, the
structure of different kinds of report etc. As we conducted a practical research work in
this course, so I got huge knowledge about writing a report. Therefore, this course has
been too helpful for me to writing a report.
Principles of Accounting:
Other Courses:

7.1. Findings:
NBL committed to their prospective customer to honor its cheque within 30
seconds after submission but unfortunately most of the time they are unable.
NBL provides high quality financial services to strengthen the well-being and
success of individual industries & business communities.
Lack of motivation in mid and lower level officers.
NBL has not yet setup proper networking system, which is very important to
compete with the others in this technical world.
The software those are used by the Bank is not compatible to the technical world.
The others competitive Banks are attracting the people with new technologies
for the new generation.
Modern technology is hardly used to maintain documentation, yet they are using
register-based document.
Lack of promotional initiatives to expand the Foreign Exchange business.
Strictly implement Credit Risk Grading process
In a few case it has been observed that the right person is placed in the right
position.
The fund management system is very effective. For keeping this system effective,
necessary changes in credit policy, loan and advance policy, and provision for
provision are made continuously.
