CHAPTER IV: Constraints and Proposed Course of Action for Improvement.
4.1. Organizational Perspective: There are some noticeable constrains at REB Corporate
Br, Janata Bank that I have pointed out during my internship period. With some careful steps
and proper monitoring system those that particular branch can overcome those constrains.
Topics
Constraints
Proposed Course of Action
for Improvement
Accommodation
JB BREB Corporate Branch is one of
the profited branches of JB which is
situated under BREB tower. Because
of its imitated space there is not
enough space to walk freely from one
table to another. Seats are very few
for customer and aren‘t in good
conditions.
JB should implement proper
interior design to ensure proper
use of its space.
Air-condition
The air condition channel is available
but air condition is not installed.
Officer uses stand fans on summer.
JB should look into this matter
and assign air condition budget
and develop the maintain
department.
Online Banking
BREB Corporate Branch is not
totally online yet but some activities
are done through JBRPS.
As it‘s a corporate branch so
online system should be
established as soon as possible
and proper monitoring is also
necessary.
Security
There is only one guard on the main
door with a normal Rifle.
Skilled guard should be
recruited or outsourced
Technology
Computers are not upgraded and use
windows XP as operating system.
JB should walk with the recent
technology to prevent uncertain
loss or interfering.
17 | P a g e
4.2. Academic Preparation: This is one of the critical parts of the report which will focus on
the miss match activities of the organization against the academic preparation.
Topics
Constraints
Proposed Course of Action for
Improvement
Chain of
Command
Academic courses taught us chain of
command keep the balance of order
among top level managers to employee.
Through proper chain of command an
organization achieves its preplanned
goal. But for some certain reasons chain
of command is ignored like in JB
supervisors are sometime hesitated to
command over an experienced or aged
employee.
JB should train those experienced
and aged employee who are
bound to work under a chain of
command but keeping one core
factor in mind experience talks.
Time
Management
We learnt that employee is bound to
maintain the time frame. But on my work
place I noticed that employee often
leaved their tables on working period.
Area General Manager should
monitor the activities of his/her
branch‘s employee.
4.3. Missing Knowledge & Skills: During my internship program I faced some problems of
not being acknowledged about some factors or some factors that I faced less.
Topics Missing Knowledge & Skills Proposed Improvement Process
Practical Job
Skill
University only taught us
theoretical aspects about banking
industries but practical
knowledge is also mandatory to
attend internship program.
AIUB should introduce its student with
some practical job related activities for
some particular courses. AIUB should
arrange industrial visit for BBA student
frequently.
Proper
Organizational
Knowledge
While working on JB I faced a
problem of not knowing or not
understanding organization‘s
(JB‘s clients) types or its
activities.
AIUB can arrange seminars to build good
organizational concepts for their students.
Or BBA student can be suggested to read
various business magazines.

CHAPTER V: Lesson Learned From Internship Program.
On the basis of academic knowledge and practical experience of 3 months internship program,
the following skills that I learned during the internship period:
5.1. Implications to Organization/Company:
We know that General Banking is the starting point of all the banking operating task.
For that reason I was concentrated myself in this section during my internship. I was
learned about account opening and different type of accounts.
I was learned about different types of characteristics that are very much required during
opening accounts such as client‘s photography, client‘s signature, national ID card or
passport, nominee‘s information, nominee‘s photography etc.
I became to know the process of OBC as well IBC elaborately. And also brief process of
online balance transaction.
I also learned about different types of requirements that are varies based the type of
customers such as for Sole Proprietorship valid registration card, tin certificates are
required, for partnership, Partnership Deed and Partners letter of authority to open
account and authorization for operation are specially required.
I was learned about pay order and demand draft. Where to issue which one.
This Internship is developed my skills in the application of theory to practical work
situations, to cope with new environment, and understand interpersonal relationship.
5.2. Implications to University's Internship Program:
One of the courses under the BBA department is Bank Fund Management which taught
us about the banking system in our country. During my internship program I found
many terms match with that particular course which was so helpful.
As Janata Bank follows branch banking system, I had theoretical knowledge about
branch banking but after internship program I acknowledged about the practical
knowledge about branch banking.
5.3. Others:
The internship program taught me how to talk to senior officers and corporate persons
and also how to value the customers.
I have acknowledged the value of attending office regularly and reaching office timely.

CHAPTER VI: Concluding Statements
6.1. Summary:
Janata Bank Ltd is one of the largest state owned commercial banks of Bangladesh. JB captured
vast portion of customers through their extend number of branches. The area where there is no
branch of any bank of the modern competitive banking sector, there one can find a branch of
Janata Bank.
Banks play an active role for the economic and overall development of the country. Janata Bank
Ltd has made commendable improvement over the past years. I am proud to get an opportunity
to continue my internee and my career in my organization. I tried to gather experience in
general banking and summarize all the information within the report. It will also be helpful for
the bank management if they carefully analyze the problem and consider recommendation in
this paper and take necessary actions for corrective measures.
General Banking is undoubtedly one of the major departments of any bank. To take any banking
services, one has to fulfill all the requirements of this department first. The nature of the
relationship between a banker and a customer depends upon the service rendered by the
personnel of general banking department. General Banking department usually give optimum
services to their customers though they have some limitations. If the management of the bank
can turn these limitations positively then they can attain the ultimate goal. I am certain that the
experience that I get through my internship in Janata Bank will help me a lot in my future
banking profession.
6.2. Recommendations for Future Strategic Actions:
There are some terms on which JB should put emphasis:
JB should establish ATM booth to nearby each JB bank.
JB should do some promotional activities.
JB can extend its reach by opening branches on UK and Canada as huge Bangladeshi
lives there.

Chapter VII: Suggestion for Improvement or Course of Action
JB should make the account opening procedure more easier as it takes about 30 minutes
to open a new account, so if five person wants to open a new account it will take a lot of
time.
Branches should be more attractive for customers as not all of their branches are
properly decorated.
Bank should formulate simple process for issuing cheque book, Pay order, and Bank
draft.
To hire and install sufficient modern sophisticated technology because of present market
demand of the customer and the educated customers now want technology based
banking but customs are confused about services.
To recruit sufficient skilled manpower because the bank employees should communicate
properly with customers about their deposit and other schemes.
Ensure Proper Maintenance and cleanliness of Office Premises. Every branch is
supposed to be very neat and clean and well decorated because it matters to attract
customers.
It is necessary to implement modern banking process instead of traditional system. It
should be more computerized means dynamic.
Branch should give requisition for new more printers and photocopy machines to
improve their service.
Ensuring transparency of its financial reports.
Safety and security protocols should be upgraded by recruiting more guards and fake
money identifiers machine for each branch should be provided.
Proper training should be given to all employees on regular basis to identify the
suspicious transactions for Anti Money Laundering compliance policy.
