1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study:

Lincoln University has designed various management degrees under faculty of


management. Among them, one of the outstanding developments is in the form of
bachelors of business administration (BBA). This program is introduced in a way so as to
reduce the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge provided to the students. The
BBA program focuses on the development of the students through field visits, report
preparation, presentation and internship program.

The internship program is one of the important components of the 4 year BBA program.
It provides the platform for the BBA products to do the self-evaluation of them in the
practical business world. Internship provides students hand-on work experience in a
particular organization and field. An internship is an extensive program through which an
intern can learn the practical aspects of what is taught between 4 walls of a classroom. It
provides golden opportunity to generate quality education because it enables us to learn,
observe and understand the real corporate world. Most importantly, the internship could
be regarded as the first step of career development. The purpose of internship is to gain
the in-depth knowledge through a direct contact with the organization and be well
acquainted with the corporate culture of the organization.

For the partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor in Business
Administration (BBA) every eighth-semester student should prepare an internship report.
