After the internship period- each student or intern has to su'mit a report a'out the respecti!e organi4ation. I ha!e completed m% internship program in National Bank Ltd. And this report is a'out this 'ank. As one of the main o',ecti!es of internship is to gather ,o' e#perience- I ha!e tried to put some of the e#periences that I ha!e learnt from m% internship in this report.

To present an o!er!iew of National Bank Ltd. To appraise the performance of National Bank Ltd. To apprise financial performance of National Bank Ltd. To identif% the pro'lems of National Bank Ltd. To recommendI remedial measures of the de!elopment of National 'ank Ltd.

+.B Limitations of the reportE

To prepare the internship I encountered some limitations. The limitations are gi!en 'elow/ Limitation of time was a ma,or constraint in making a complete stud%due to time limitation. The duration was onl% twel!e weeks. It was too limited to co!er all the 'anking area. .an% aspects could not 'e discussed in the present stud%. Lack of comprehension of the respondents was the ma,or pro'lem that created a lot of confusion regarding !erification of conceptual <uestion. Confidentialit% of data was another important 'arrier that was faced during the process of this stud%.

As 'eing an intern- it also created some pro'lems as I was una'le to ac<uire hands/on/e#perience in all the departments- due to the 'ankJs polic% of maintaining secrec% and also 'ecause I did not get the opportunit% in all the departments.

+.; Organi4ation structureE

Functional oriented structure Organi4ation structure pla%s an important role on the profita'ilit% of an% organi4ation. National 'ank limited is a centrali4ed organi4ation and operates in a.
