Introduction
1.1 Background of the Internship
The internship program is specially designed for graduating students to transform their
theoretical knowledge into practical experience. Internship helps students develop
confidence to cope with real-life managerial situations. It is a form of on-the-job
training where students become familiar with corporate culture and gain practical
exposure to organizational operations. Hence, internship serves as an important
medium through which students can achieve their career objectives and enhance their
professional skills.
Pokhara University School of Business has been providing quality education to produce
skilled human resources capable of contributing to the economic and social
development of the nation. To expose students to real organizational settings, the
university requires students to participate in internship programs in reputed
organizations. Internship enables students to understand the internal and external
environment of organizations and enhances their ability to handle business challenges
effectively.
In line with the objectives of the BBA program, the internship was carried out at Prabhu
Bank Limited. Prabhu Bank Limited is one of the leading commercial banks in Nepal,
licensed as an “A” class financial institution by Nepal Rastra Bank. The bank was
established after the merger of several finance.;al institutions including Kist Bank Ltd.,
Prabhu Bikas Bank Ltd., Gaurishankar Development Bank Ltd., and Zenith Finance

During the internship period, practical exposure was gained in the customer service
department of the bank. Working in this department provided an opportunity to observe
and understand various banking activities such as account opening procedures,
customer handling, transaction processing, and other daily banking operations. The
internship experience served as an important platform for enhancing professional
knowledge, improving communication skills, and understanding the practical
functioning of the banking sector.

3.3 Challenges Faced During My Internship Period
During my internship period at Prabhu Bank, I experienced several challenges while
adapting to the professional banking environment. Since it was my first exposure to a
real banking workplace, understanding the procedures and handling responsibilities
required patience, focus, and continuous learning.
One of the major challenges I faced was dealing with many customers during peak
hours. Many customers visited the branch for different services such as account
opening, remittance, balance inquiries, and cheque book requests. Managing customer
queries while ensuring proper documentation sometimes became difficult, especially
when the branch was crowded.
I also faced some difficulty in communicating with customers who were not fully aware
of banking policies and requirements. Some customers would visit the bank without
necessary documents like citizenship or authorization letters, which occasionally led to
misunderstandings or delays in service.

CHAPTER: IV

practical exposure to the banking sector. During this time, I gained different skills and
a clearer understanding of how banking activities are carried out in a real working
environment.
• Learned the importance of proper time management while working in a busy banking
environment and adapted myself to a new professional setting.

confidence and practical skills for future career opportunities in the banking sector.

CHAPTER: V
Analysis and Recommendation
5.1 Critical Analysis of the Organization's Operations
This report has been prepared as a partial requirement for the completion of the BBA
program under Pokhara University. The internship program provided me with an
opportunity to gain practical experience in the banking sector and understand how
theoretical knowledge learned during academic study is applied in real organizational
settings. During the 48-day internship period at Prabhu Bank Limited, I had the chance
to observe and participate in different banking activities, which helped me expand my
understanding of professional banking operations. Some of the key things I learned
during my internship are listed below:
3. Became familiar with the use of important office equipment such as printers,
scanners, and other devices used in routine banking work.
7. Learned to identify and use different types of bank stamps required for
document verification and record keeping.
8. Understood the basic functions of the Finacle core banking software used in
Prabhu Bank, which helped me understand how customer accounts,
transactions, and banking records are managed digitally.
14
Overall, the internship period helped me bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge
and practical experience. It provided useful insight into how banking services are
delivered in a commercial bank and helped strengthen my skills and confidence for
future career opportunities in the banking sector.
During my 48-day internship at Prabhu Bank Limited, I had the opportunity to observe
some operational problems faced by the branch during daily activities. Some of the
problems identified during my internship are as follows:
1. The CSD is often congested, especially during peak hours, making it difficult
for employees to serve customers efficiently.
2. Modern banking software and digital tools are not fully utilized, which slows
down transaction processing and record-keeping.
3. Air conditioning and ventilation are not properly functioning, leading to an
uncomfortable working environment for both staff and customers.
4. Many customers are in a hurry and prefer to avoid proper documentation, often
expecting services to be completed quickly without following standard
procedures.
5. Some customers argue with staff when they are asked to provide valid
documents or follow procedures which create additional stress for the
employees.
6. No internet in the bank.
After observing the problems in the Customer Service Department, I tried to address
some at my level. For the remaining issues, the following solutions are recommended:
1. To ease congestion and improve service, the bank could introduce additional
staff during busy hours or create a rotation system so that no single employee is
overburdened.
2. Updating and fully utilizing modern banking software and digital tools would
speed up transactions and reduce manual errors, improving overall efficiency.
3. Proper maintenance of air conditioning and ventilation systems should be
ensured to create a comfortable environment for both employees and customers.
15
4. Customers should be informed through visible notices or verbal guidance that
all standard procedures and documentation are necessary for secure and smooth
banking operations.
5. Staff could be trained in conflict management techniques to handle impatient or
argumentative customers professionally, minimizing stress and maintaining
service quality.
5.4 Recommendations
Prabhu Bank has been performing well in providing customer services, but to further
enhance customer satisfaction and operational efficiency in the Customer Service
Department (CSD), the following recommendations are suggested:
1. Introduce customer flow management strategies, such as token systems or
appointment scheduling, to reduce congestion during peak hours.
2. Regularly review and modernize CSD processes to ensure faster, smoother, and
more standardized service delivery.
3. Implement periodic customer feedback surveys to identify recurring issues and
improve service quality.
4. Encourage a culture of patience and professionalism among staff through
workshops and performance recognition programs.
5. Invest in infrastructure improvements, such as ergonomically designed counters
and better waiting areas, to make the CSD environment more comfortable for
both employees and customers.

CHAPTER: VI
Conclusion
My forty-eight-day internship at Prabhu Bank Limited has been an invaluable learning
experience, providing me with a clear understanding of the operations and challenges
of a modern commercial bank. Working in the Customer Service Department (CSD)
allowed me to witness firsthand how banking services are delivered, the importance of
accuracy and professionalism, and the real-world dynamics of customer interactions.
During the internship, I observed both the strengths and areas for improvement within
the CSD, such as the dedication of staff under pressure, as well as issues like congestion,
outdated systems, and challenges in handling impatient customers. Identifying these
problems and proposing practical solutions helped me develop analytical, problem-
solving, and interpersonal skills.
This internship has not only enhanced my knowledge of banking operations but also
strengthened my ability to communicate effectively with customers and colleagues,
manage tasks under pressure, and approach challenges with a constructive mindset. It
has given me valuable insights into the importance of teamwork, time management,
and adaptability in a professional setting.
Overall, the experience at Prabhu Bank has been both educational and inspiring,
confirming my interest in the banking sector and equipping me with practical skills that
will support my future academic and professional endeavors. I am grateful for the
guidance of the bank staff and the opportunity to contribute, even in a small way, to the
bank’s operations during my internship.
