Conclusion and Recommendations

5.1 Findings and Learnings

 Learned different codes Daybook is maintained on daily


basis respective to the codes assigned to different heading. I
learned basic knowledge about debit and credit item to be
recorded in daybook along with different code assigned to
respective heading. With the knowledge of different codes,
I had to record the respective items under particular
headings.

 Knowledge of voucher Different types of vouchers are


collected in day book section from other different sections.
The vouchers related to purchase, sales etc. are provided by
bill payment section. The voucher of salary related to
employee is provided by salary section. Similarly voucher
related to employee loan, pension, NRB transaction,
government transaction are provided by employee loan,
pension, NRB transaction, government transaction sections
respectively. Thus, I got to know about the practical
knowledge of the vouchers.

 General understanding of Nepali terminology used in


banking As everything has to be written in Nepali
vernacular, initially it was difficult to understand the Nepali
terminology used in the bank. Hence, through practice and
guidance from the supervisor, I had the basic understanding
about the
1
meaning of such Nepali terminologies used for recording
banking transactions.

5.2 Conclusion
Self-assessment as future professional
In the modern education system internship plays a crucial
role as the act of mediator for the student to connect the
theoretical knowledge with practical working environment.
Internship program provides an opportunity to provide
practical knowledge along with academic program. Exact to
the motive of the internship program during the internship
period, I got an opportunity to explore the theoretical
knowledge into the real working environment. As an intern I
was assigned in various departments for different tasks in the
department like day book, balance certificate, central store
department, NRB department etc. The main purpose of the
internship program is to help the students by allowing them to
be practically involved in the activities carried out by the bank
on daily basis. Internship program has provided us an
opportunity to gain practical exposure in the real banking
world and obtain some experience that acts as a stepping stone
before entering into professional world hence, enhancing our
personal skill and capacity and developing managerial skills
and behavior. This program has helped in improving the
people skills, human skills and analytical skills. It has also
helped in developing the ability to work under pressure and
how to work in a team. Although the three months internship
period was not full enough to understand all the banking
system as a whole, but still the period has proved to be very
valuable in understanding the practical implications and
knowledge exposures. The internship program helped to learn
the dynamics of work culture, professionalism and systems in
1
the business world. The intern is able to learn various
new knowledge as well as the practical implications of
various theoretical knowledge after the three month
internship
exposure. As a self assessment, the achievements that I
gained through this internship are:

a) Internship program teaches us the importance of time


and how important it is in the professional world to follow
it.

b) Developing the capability to handle the work pressure was


one of the important skills learned while working in the
bank.
c) Being a partial employee, punctuality was one of
the attitudes developed while working in the bank.

d) Gained practical knowledge of importance of team


work and coordination.

e) Became more socialized while dealing and interacting


with customers and colleagues.

f) Confidence level to communicate and coordinate


with customers has gradually increased while working
in this organization.
