Format of the Internship Report

1. Title Page

The title page of the report will include:

a. Name of the organization

b. Name of the internee, Student ID and session
c. Submission date of the internship report
d. Name of the University

2. Acknowledgement
In this section, students should acknowledge the support
and help of people who helped in the completion of their
internship and the preparation of their report (e.g. the
employees, department, instructor, family, or any other
person).

Here is where you can thank all of the people responsible for making your internship
a happy and valuable experience. Normally, you thank the teacher who helped you put
together the report.

It’s also a chance to thank the people at the company you worked for. Usually you
give the reason why you are thanking them. For example, “I would also like to thank Mr
_________ for all of the time he spent with me, helping me to improve my English speaking
skills”, or “I would like to thank Ms ______________ for teaching me how to use MS Excel
program on the computer.”

Just write your thanks in simple, easy-to-read sentences, and in your own words.
Write it from your heart.

Note that the Acknowledgement section comes before the numbered pages. Usually
you’ll put it before the Table of Contents, right after your page that has the signatures.

3. Executive summary (Note: Half a page maximum)

An executive summary previews the main points of a
detailed report. It helps the reader to get a quick view of
the report before reading it in detail. In this summary,
you should briefly mention everything important that you
have done, discovered and concluded.
 This report is about my internship program with NATIONAL BANK. In this comprehensive report, I have
discussed about every major aspect of the bank, which I observed and perceived during my internship
program. In this report you will find the detail about the bank right from its incorporation to the current
position. Along with it, the processes, policies and procedures of the bank are also discussed in detail.

As the main purpose of internship is to learn by working in practical environment and to apply the
knowledge acquired during the studies in a real world scenario in order to tackle the problems using the
knowledge and skill learned during the academic process.

In this report the detailed analysis of the organization has been done and the financial, technical, managerial
and strategic aspects have been evaluated to analyze the current position of the organization.

This report also contains my perceptions about the employee’s satisfaction, motivation level and the
working environment of the organization.
