Firstly, I would be benefited by gaining a firsthand experience into the corporate world and learning how to measure something so abstract like quality. Also engaging in conversation with the corporate people as well as the customers will definitely improvise on my interaction capability that is of so much importance to any business graduate.

5) Methodology
This internship report has been prepared on the basis of on the job experience with the Uttara Bank Ltd., Moghbazar Branch. In spite of the scarcity of published data, it has been tried to make the report informative and handy. The data used in the report have been complied through different complicated ways- direct questionnaire to executives, continuous search on the ongoing accountants, and interview with internal auditor and external auditors report. Working with the organization for a meager period of three months is the main aspect of acquiring data and information to evaluate the culture, working environment and similar sort of affair of the organization. a) Data collection procedures: There are two major methodologies of the study. Describe which are below:

i) Primary Sources. It is obvious that the research will require a lot of primary data. For the organization part of the report, a lot of secondary resources will also be used. This will provide a theoretical basis of the report. Such data will be collected mainly from the bank as well as the Internet. Interviews will be conducted on the managers of the bank for insights and clarification. The clients of the bank will also be interviewed as they are one of the primary data sources. There are four items of primary sources which are below: Face to conversation with the respective officers and stuffs of the branch. Discussing with my supervising teacher and manager. Practical work experience in the different desk of the department of the branch. In-depth study of selected cases.

ii) Secondary Sources. As for secondary resources, I would use relevant journals and various publications of UBL. Also, I would like to collect data from the NUB library, newspaper and the Internet. Also, some of the published statistics by the Bangladesh Bank and Uttara Bank Limited (UBL) would be used. There are some secondary sources: Annual Report of Uttara Bank Ltd. Website of the Uttara Bank Ltd. Several books and periodicals related to the banking sector.

Bangladesh Bank Report Different circular sent by the head office of Uttara Bank Ltd. Various documentary file of Uttara Bank Ltd. Prior research report.

b) Data analysis
In order to analyze gathered data, I plan to use statistical software like SPSS that will run z-test, t-test, regressions and such. The data will be presented in graphs for better understanding and clarity. c)

Final format of the report

The report will contain mainly two parts. The organizational part shall give the idea about Uttara Banks historical background, different divisions, banking services and branches. And the project part shall contain research part with two researches; one is about the General Banking and the other is the Loan and Advance of Uttara Bank Limited, literature review and hypothesis development and lastly data analysis part.

I am working condition set up air-condition. The bank is working processed used by computer excel. I am acquiring by the knowledge observation face to face conversation. I required by the one desk to other desk. I am working conventional banking system of Uttara Bank Limited. The banking

division in internship is practical report of the general banking division. The internship report of the University is an integral part of the BBA program. So it is obligatory to undertake such task by the students who desirous to complete and successfully end-up their BBA degree. This also provides an opportunity to the students to minimize the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge. During the internship the teachers of the department are attached to actively and constantly guide the students. Students are required to work on a specific topic based on their theoretical and practical knowledge acquired during the period of the internship program and then submit it to the teacher.

Limitation of the Study

There were some problems while I conducting the orientation program, a whole hearted effort was applied to conduct the orientation program and to bring a reliable and fruitful result, in spite of having the whole hearted effort, there exit some limitation which acted as a barrier to conduct the program. The limitations were a) Lack of Information or Data: The Bankers are very busy with their jobs, which lead me little time to consult with. Adequate and in-depth well-organized literature was not available because a few researchers endeavored to work on such project in the past. Though the officials tried to assist, sometimes their working pressure couldn't give me proper assistance what I needed. There is some information which needed special permission from top level, is not always achievable.

b) Time Constraint: Three months time is not enough for such an extensive study. It is very difficult to collect all the required information in such a short period of time.

c) Comparison Status: I have had no opportunity to compare the General Banking of the Uttara Bank Ltd. with that of other contemporary and common size banks. It was mainly because of the shortage of time and Internship nature. In spite of all the drawbacks, everything will be managed well at the end. I believe the report will be quality report on General Banking and Loan/Advance of Uttara Bank Ltd. d) Confidentiality Another limitation of this report is banks policy of not disclosing some data and information for obvious reason. Due to some legal obligation and business secrecy banks reluctant to provided data. For this reason, the study limits only on the available Published data and certain degree formal and informal interview.
