Internship Report on
Performance Evaluation of Al-Arafah Islami Bank Limited.
PREFACE
After completion our BBA final examination, Internship Program is an important part
for our post graduation degree. For this reason, I perused my Internship Program in AlArafah Islami Bank of Limited, Khilkhet Branch, from 22 th May to 22th Aug 2012. The
duration of the program was three months. Like other employees of Al-Arafah Islami
Bank Limited, I worked there at regular basis aiming to acquire practical knowledge
which will help me in my practical life. In three months, I tried with my best ability to
learn about the instructions, characteristics, natures, functions, competitiveness,
workflows etc. of banking system. AIBL is one of the leading Islami bank in the
country as a banking position. With the banking functions, it is very much huge and
complex.
I tried to understand these complex and huge characteristics, nature, functions etc.
However, I tried my best to blend with these situations and realized most of these
things. In a short time, it is impossible to learn all things.
In the duration of nine weeks, I also tried to gather all the information and knowledge
from different text books, brochures to understand the difficult task of bank. In this
report, I have presented those in proper, chronological and precise way.
At the end, I can only state that by this Internship Program I am able to complete the
hard working BBA course in The University of Asia Pacific. I found all sorts of cooperation and good work environment in three months working with Al-Arafah Islami
Bank Ltd. Everybody concerned with management and administration of the bank was
compassionate to me.

1.5 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Despite my sincerest endeavor in preparing a perfect report, some of the limitations are
inescapable. These are as follows:
Within such a short period of time (nine weeks), it was not possible for me to
study everything about Al-Arafah Islami Bank, Khilkhet Branch.
The officers are so much busy that they cannot properly co-operate with me,
which are a problem.
Banks policy of not disclosing some data and information for obvious
reason, which could be very much useful.
To analysis SWOT of emerging market is a wide spread survey material.

However, time constraint restricted the report to specific feature.
The study requires experience to be fruitful but it was completely absent to

me.
Sometimes the officials were reluctant to give proper information regarding

their activities because they felt hesitation and ambiguity to give data and
information.
Lack of personal knowledge and experience.

The working environment in any branch is not congenial & appropriate. The
working desk provides sound pollution. It looks like a hall room.
The modern technology is not used in the recruitment and selection process. The
backdated methods are using for selection till today.
Salary structure of AIBL is satisfactory comparing with other Islamic Banks, the
pension policy and the payment of pension to the employees are very fair and
transparent.
The transfer and promotion process is fair but the promotion is not faster.
Loan facilities are very attractive to the employees of AIBL.
Page 46 of 49
Most of the policies are backdated. Only the authority amends the policy but
preserve the old policy.
There is no policy to build up harmonious relationship among the employees.

The employees cannot protest the injustice of the authority because the pure
trade union is absent there.
The record keeping system is also backdated, not followed computerized system
properly
Security system of many branches is not sufficient.
5.3 RECOMMENDATION

Raising the capital, statutory reserve and increase the investment.
The number of branches should be increased
Expand and diversify customer base.

Customers are the heart of the organization. They should provide more space in
the office and if possible they should have some entertainment facility.
The employee of the branch should be trained continuously.
Few branches are not under online banking system, so all the branches should
confirm on line banking system.

the Branches to develop the awareness among the clients of the Bank about
Islamic Banking and its advantages.

5.4 Conclusions
Today the banking service is very competitive. From the practical materialization of
customer dealing procedure during the whole period of my practical orientation in ALARAFAH-ISLAMI Bank limited I have reached a firm and concrete conclusion in a
very confident way. I believe that my realization will be in harmony with most of the
banking thinkers. It is quite evident that to build up an effective and efficient banking
system to the highest desire level, computerized transaction is must.
AL-ARAFAH-ISLAMI Bank Ltd. is a new generation Bank. It is committed to provide
high quality financial services/products to contribute to the growth of G.D.P of the
country through stimulating trade and commerce, accelerating the pace of
industrialization, boosting up export, creating employment opportunity for the educated
youth, poverty alleviation, raising standard of living of limited income group and
overall sustainable socio-economic development of the country. The is not so far when
it will be in a position to overcome the existing constraints and it may be expected that
by establishing a network over the country and by increasing resources this bank will be
able to play a considerable role in the portfolio of development of financing.
Success in the banking business largely depends on effective lending. Less the amount
of loan losses, the more the income will be from credit operations. The more the income
from credit operations the more will be the profit of the AL-ARAFAH-ISLAMI Bank
Ltd. and here lays the success of credit financing.
It can be argued that though the results achieved so far are not satisfactory, credit
financing is a modern scientific technique for enhancing AL-ARAFAH-ISLAMI Banks
strength and there lies the opportunities to make it more effective in the future for our
own benefit.
From the learning and experience point of view I can say that I really enjoyed my
internship at AL-ARAFAH-ISLAMI Bank Ltd. from the very first day. I am confident
that this 03 months internship program at AL-ARAFAH-ISLAMI Bank Ltd. will
definitely help me to realize my further carrier in the job market.
