Internship Report

PREFACE

Bachelor in business administration (BBA) is a program in which we


studied about business and finance. In Pakistan the banking sector is at the
maturity stage and banking sectors are the best institutes in which we are
easily understand the practical experience. Bachelor in business
administration gives us an opportunity to touch the practical experience
about business and finance as the internship. The Internship program is an
important part to give students an opportunity to have experience of
practical field. Unless and until the students experience the novelty of
practical work, their knowledge of what they study in theoretical
courses remains incomplete. The most important point in an Internship
program is that the student should spend their time in a true manner and
with the spirit to learn practical orientations of theoretical study framework.
This Internship Report is on my Six weeks practical training at UBL
GHORGHUSHTI (branch) In this Internship Report I have tried to give
details about the United Bank Limited, working and the functions of
different departments of the bank.

UBL ! Internship Report

Executive SUMMARY
All these six weeks were full of events, full of learning and most importantly full of
professional working. Here 'professional' regards in all from clerical to managerial work. In
these six weeks period, the best thing to me was the authority and dependency of
customers upon me, when they come with a hope that I'm there to guide them through
Knowing all is not learning, the real learning is to convey right. I tried to learn real, see real
UBL, and tried to comprehended the difference between what we look from outside and
what is going on inside. UBL is full of experienced and professional traditional
bankers. As it perfectly suit the environment we are operating in, you attitude has In
the private sector, no doubt it’s a fast growing bank, helped UBL in capturing masses. but
here's something that's still unrealistic to the policy makers. The line of unsatisfied
customers is increasing, not because we are not serving well, it's because customers
are not understanding the YOU attitude right. Every customer wants to make sure his
work is done at the first convenience, but they are not concerned about the
responsibility with which every employee is working. We need to put in some guidelines for
our customers, as they walk in. This will not only save their time but will also
motivate staff members to work more prom ptly, because if customer and employee
engage into some unhealthy quarrel, the whole environment will be disturbed. The bank
should bring forward the new talent as fresh knowledge and education is considered
very important to increase the efficiency and production. People have to wait for re-
cashing their cheques and for paying their utility bills, which are not good for reputation of
bank, it should be improved. Bank is retaining its earnings to reinvest it for the further
expansion of bank, which is a good sign because it increases shareholder wealth. At
39 last I want to say that I have learned much experienced how to communicate
with customers.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths

United Bank Limited is one of the largest commercial bank in the country. United
Bank Limited has almost forty-seven years of good standing to its valued clients.
United Bank Limited is the second largest private commercial bank of Pakistan with1044
plus branches and has an international presence. United Bank Limited is growing
bank to achieve WORLD CLASS banking standards bear immense potential/prospects
of employment in the future. United Bank Limited believes insetting the right goals for
the right jobs and we strive to identify the right resource.

UBL is actively participating in international markets and has recently introduced credit
cards in UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar, being backed up by 24 hours call center out of UAE. The
overall efficiency of the bank operations and management ability can be noticed by looking
at to its income pattern and provisions/write off practices. Advances investment of the
bank shows a constant growth pattern. The bank is actively emerging and is
engaged in international trade and foreign exchange transactions.

Weaknesses

The major weakness is lack of adaptability to accept the change.

The Human resource is though experienced but still lack adaptability to change to the
modern technology, products and methodologies of working especially in paper less
environment. The approach to involve and engage fresh/energetic Human resources slow.
The client and customer service standards along with attitude problem are major areas of
weaknesses. Due to risks such as political, economic and legal etc. the bank has suffered
losses the main reason was that of piling up of large amount of unrecoverable loans and
debts which have adversely affected the image of the UBL. Accumulated losses pushed
the bank to cut down its promotional activities in order to reduce expenses for last few years.
Administrative expenses are 51% of them ark up revenue. Promotions are carried out on
annual basis ignoring the importance of capabilities and performance outputs.

Opportunities

Comsats Wah Page 10 of 31!


UBL ! Internship Report

UBL being one the largest bank in Pakistan has great potential to redesign its
products fore existing and fresh Depositors Reconstruction of Afghanistan is a golden
opportunity where the bank can effectively participate. Expansion of IT platform and
internet based banking system.

Interest of businesses in leasing facilities provides a healthy opportunity for banks


There is a large pool of unemployed MBAs who can be hired to achieve
professionalism on its organizational culture. Outsourcing of promotional companies
and also use the excellent promotional facilities.

Entering new market segments, Increase the product range to meet the broader range of
customer’s needs. In wake of current economic conditions and with vast network of 1044
Branches, UBL can earn a significant leverage in competition among other banks
through with its quality service and standards. The brand name is strong that can
have a competitive edge in comparison to other banks in the town as people still rely
on old banks like HBL,NBP etc.

Threats

The greatest of all challenges is to maintain the speed on which UBL is running.
Increase in competition due to increasing number of foreign and domestic private
banks offering highly specialized and attractive services. Growing rate of global
technical advancements and adaptation of modern style of management in banking sectors
of Pakistan. Unemployment, lower level of income and prices like problem sin the
motherland coupled with low rate of industrialization, geo political adverse conditions.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations are considered to be the most important part of an internship report,
without which no report is considered complete and meaningful. This part of the report is
based on the previous sections.

6.1 HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT

The importance of manpower cannot be denied in any organization. In case of banks it is the
most valuable asset, because the bank is very sensitive organization and to be in harmony
with this sensitivity, need for proper human resource is felt badly. Critical analysis of

Comsats Wah Page 25 of 31!


UBL ! Internship Report

UBL necessities recommending suggestions that would increase bank’s efficiency and
effectiveness.

6.2 POLITICAL INTERFERENCE

The political intervention in the bank needs to be stopped so that the top hierarchy as well
as the personnel placed at other important levels of the institution is not changed Just on
political grounds and the on going developmental work is not obstructed. It will enable the
management to formulate long term strategies and their proper implementation
because the long term policies, accurately based on calculated risk, have proved the
pivotal role players for organizational sustainable development.

6.3 BASIS FOR PROMOTION

A sizable portion of the officers of UBL, are promoted in without test and interviews to
officer’s cadre. The promotion policy must be too tight and transparent that no one may have
the chance to be promoted on criteria other than the required qualification,
experience and performance.

6.4 NEEDS OF CHANGE IN RECRUITMENT POLICY

It is important to say that the external level market is full of the required talent like MBA, M.
Com etc, But on the country only graduation with simple subjects is still the requisite
qualification for officer’s cadre, which has already worked amply in the devastation of
UBL.

6.5 REFRESHER COURSES

The Human of the bank should frequently conduct meaningful refresher courses,
seminars and workshops with a view to improve the knowledge of the staff. Due to
severe competition and technological developments, the banking business is
experiencing rapid changes therefore the HRD should have arrangements for staff
trainings to cope with the new changes that may become threats for the interest of the
bank.

6.6 TRAINING FOR CREDIT MANAGEMENT

Special trainings on credit management should be imparted to the finance dealing staff.
Financing is main fountain bank’s income. Sound finance is extremely necessary for
opening of springs of the smooth inflow of the income.

6.7 INTRODUCTION OF NEW COURSES


The human recourses division of the bank should focus on the restoration of the
corporate image of the bank by floating programs such as, marketing excellence,
courses on corporate culture and others. Usually in businesses the wholesalers,
retailers and other intermediaries are finished by opening a network of the business own
outlets. It works as profit maximization devise.

6.8 CAREER DEVELOPMENT

As a matter of personnel policy HRD of UBL should prepare a plan showing the future
growth potential of employees on the job performance and evaluation and it should be
made known to the employees. In this regard, employees should be given opportunities to
show their performances, which would help in their career development.

CONCLUSION
Every work we have done on our lives has it failure and successful aspects. The
internship main purpose was to understand the practical life that how professionally we have

Comsats Wah Page 30 of 31!


UBL ! Internship Report

to start our work and in manner that can reveal our path to the future. As I worked in a
practical environment I am confident to work in a financial institution. The main
intrinsic worth is being more confident through meeting and understanding the behavior of
people (customers, employees). It is to convince someone according to their requirements
and their psyche and to drive some one to get products or services. As according to
demerits there is always usual in our environment where different types of personalities
meets and do work at one place. I have learnt that how management is difficult to do
and how we can make it more effective. Now after my internship I know how the bank works.
How is the professional environment and how we have to do work there?
