1.1 Introduction of the study
Internship is a partial requirement of graduation. It offers a great opportunity for any student
to get some tremendous and brilliant ideas about the practical field. It is also a challenging
experience to prepare Internship Report which increases intellectual abilities as an efficient
graduate. This internship report has been based on the Customer’s Satisfaction taken by the
consumers of AIBL, Phanthapath Branch. During the three months long internship period
spanning form November 20, 2015 to 29 February, 2016 in AIBL, Panthapath Branch the
writer of this report gained practical knowledge about the evaluation process of Customer
Satisfaction a consumer product of AIBL, Panthapath Branch and worked on a report titled
“Analyzing Customers’ Satisfaction Level at Al-Arafah Islami Bank Ltd., Panthapath
Branch”. Here the analysis has been made to identify the relationship of the profitability
of the bank and the contribution of the customer satisfaction.
Main Objective: The objective of the study is to measure the customers’ satisfaction towards
services of Al-Arafah Islami Bank Ltd. (AIBL), Panthapath Branch.
Supportive Objectives:

1.3 Scope and Limitations of the Study
I did the report to analyze the customers’ satisfaction level of AlBL, Phanthapath Branch and
also detect the weaknesses of this branch. To do this report I collected data only those people
who are the customers of AIBL, Phanthapath Branch. I did not have any scope to collect data
from other branches because I had to spend my internship period only at AIBL, Phanthapath
Branch. Though this report has been prepared only considering the AIBL, Phanthapath Branch, I
believe this report reflects about the overall satisfaction level of AIBL customers.
Banking is, in fact, a huge operation and it is quite impossible to cope up all the activities
during internship period. And for that reason, limitations prevail while conducting the study.
The basic limitations faced in preparing the report were:
Customers are not interested to give information
As the bank is continuously changing its product offering regarding account, loan
with new interest, flexible loan terms etc, it will be difficult to ascertain the true
performance of the product.
It is difficult to make information based a rich report in a short time period.
