To provide timely and updated information, MCB has also provided a new look to its website which is user friendly and considerably easy to browse. The Islamic Banking initiative has been very successful in attracting new customer, both individuals and companies.

Summary and recommendations Overall summary In a nut shell it can be concluded that the overall performance of the bank is quite satisfactory. MCB's total assets, investments, deposits and equity has increased but profitability has decreased by a soaring percentage of 58.23%. The reasons which I have traced out of my analysis and studies are as follows; •

Increased financial costs of funds for which expected investment revenues did not open up.

•

Return on lending has been reduces

•

Bank has increased its classified advances by 35% to fulfill the requirements of Prudential Regulations. The fresh increase is mainly 51% in the other assets especially mentioned

classification. According to the prudential regulations requirements, accrued markup cannot be credited to income but to suspense A/C. •

During the year 2008, the economy of the country remained in sluggish. In spite of various policy measure initiated by the government for confidence building of the domestic and foreign investors and steps taken such as: o Creation of small and medium entries development authority (SMEDA). o Financing under prime minister's self employment scheme. o Launching of Mera Ghar scheme etc. o For revival of economy, the expected investment environment could not be created and economy did not pick up.

•

The large number of non-commercial banking institutions (DFI's and NBFI's) also competed for limited resources and investment avenues- thus further narrowing the spread of banking industry.

•

Although, economic sanctions imposed as a result of nuclear blast and the country's level of foreign debt and directly impending economic growth, but the debt rescheduling at the Paris Club and large financial commitments by the multilateral agencies will improve country's external position and provide a sound footing for medium term planning. In this improved and stable economic environment, the bank will get opportunities and by making sincere efforts can increase its profitability and equity. Previous year is expected to pose a tough market environment.

Shortage of rains and electricity can seriously impact overall GDP growth. The tight monetary policy is impacting the country's exports

with a ripple effect on the manufacturing sector. The documentation drive, which is good for the country over a long period of time, is being expectantly viewed with concern by certain segments. The combined impact of these factors may cause a slowdown of economic activity in certain pockets of the economy. On the positive side, the resolution of issues in political and pragmatic handling of the documentation deive by the government and continuous efforts to normalize international relations should bring positive results. MCB is and will positioned and flexible enough to operate effectively in the changing scenario. We will continue to broaden our customer base, harnessing the growing strength of the MCB brand and expand the platform to provide value based propositions to our customers.

Specific requirements for the organization 1. Banking today has entered into a new era of computer technology. With introduction to intern on line banking, the distance between branches has reduced in such a way that a customer maintains his account thousands of kilometers away. Branches avail full facilities from other branches. This facility is very common in foreign banks. My suggestion is that like many other sectors of banking MCB should also take a lead in this

IBIT

- 43 -

sector. 2. As discussed above, this is an age of computer technology and the banks having skilled working (in computer technology) will certainly be able to attain a faster growth rate. My suggestion is that MCB should stress upon its employees to learn computer technology and following incentives should be given to them for this purpose. 3. Special training programs at staff colleges or computer training institutions should be arranged. 4. Interest free loans to employees for purchase of personal computer may be extended. 5. Special allowances for computer training will also help in achieving desired goals. 6. It is a fact which cannot be denied at any stage that both ladies and gentlemen are facing great problems which they deposit utility bills no proper counter is available. People have to stand outside the bank peeping in the window. The collector sitting inside the bank does not care anything and doing the job at his will/desire. This must be improved providing adequate facilities to customers. 7. Loan advances to bank employees are free from interest that is why huge amount is taken as loan. This is not good as they are availing other benefits from bank like bounces etc. Restriction must be imposed up to specific limit. 8. After privatization is seen that attitude and mal-treatment of staff towards people has considerably changed ethic has promoted the business a lot, further improvements also depends upon more good behavior. 9. Now a days a large number of books / documents / registers are

IBIT

- 44 -

being prepared on computerized system. It saves time. All other books may be computerized if possible to avoid error and mistakes. 10. New recruitment should be made on merit basis so that efficient, honest, hardworking, reliable and dependable persons may be at hand to run the bank easily on sound profit. 11. Bank should make a plan to gear up its recovery efforts on war footings and re-organize the recovery function on global basis. 12. Bank should tighten up a control on expenditure. At the end I wish for a rapid and successful growth and prosperity of MCB bank limited which is already known as a progressive bank.

Specific recommendations for IBIT to improve its curricula and methods of teaching to MBIT students As the students of MBIT I learned a lot from respected teachers who always found cooperative, helpful, and kind the know which I gained from them is treasure for my whole life belongingness and affiliation with teachers and the department that is why when I rewind the last two and a half year. I was unable to find out any weakness in any of them. Following recommendations are only places for the improvement and betterment. These are only the step which I think should be taken to achievement. ●

Degree of business education need recognition there should be effective advertising for awareness of people.

●

Faculty of MBIT department is not sufficient to satisfy the educational need of students. Department lack experienced, skilled and professional permanent faculty so new teachers should be appointed.

●

Case study should be major part of the studies because it creates more confidence in the students. So they could be able to adjust in multicultural organization.

●

It courses teachers only instruct it thorough books or slides while practive in terms of concrete work in labs is lacking. That is why the students of IBIT remain always confused what he knows in it in real sense. The market demands us much in the field which we normally failed to provide them.

●

Favoritism of teachers towards some specific students not only give that student credit through unfair means but also upset and

IBIT

- 46 -

dampen the spirits of others. The students who spend more and more time in the office of teachers get good grades more easily. So there should be proper check and balanced on this issue. ●

At the end MBIT burden should be reduced. Stress should be given on practical and field work instead of bookish knowledge.

●

IBIT

The specialization must also be offered in more areas like HRM.

- 47 -

Specific recommendations for institute for the next internship in this organization Department should provide proper guide line to the students during learning about their practical application in the field of business so that students becomes familiar with business environment. Our department must have developed close relations with reputed organizations adequate help for management of internship can provided to the students. The department should try to promote IBIT as a prestigious institute for

clearing

and

pay attention

toward

its

promotion

and

advertisement in business sector. The department should maintain a record of all its old students working in various fields and present them as a source of motivation inspiration for the present students in the department. 1. Practical field is quite different from theoretical knowledge. So an internee should adopt himself / herself to know situation. He / she should be able to get firsthand knowledge. 2. Have the quality of confidence. 3. Have a good communication. 4. Should be able to judge the situation. 5. Should have effort to doing best. 6. Have flexibility in opinion making. 7. It is golden rule for relaxation, satisfaction and success.
