INTERNSHIP

Introduction

The BBA and MBA programs of AIBA are a full time multidisciplinary course. Undergoing through internship program is essential for completion of the program. These rules outline the details of the internship program and job placement guidelines.

 

General Information

Internship is an important academic program in any business related program. It provides the interns with exposure to real life situations in business organizations. It acts as a window to the world outside the familiar academic surrounding. The interns can use their theoretical knowledge in actual situations in real organizations. Further, this program also provides interns an opportunity to be assessed by prospective employers as well as establish and expand their network of contacts.

 

The duration of the internship program is 12 weeks and will be equivalent to 3 credits. Out of this, 10 weeks are for organizational attachment and 2 weeks for internship report finalization, deposition and defence. During organizational attachment, the interns will have to work on a project concerning a business problem of the organization. The project is selected either by the intern in consultation with the supervisor (explained later) or it is selected either by the organization. Faculty advisor (explained later) approves/modifies the project in consultation with supervisor.

 

Purposes

Internship program serves a multitude of purposes for all the involved parties. Following are some benefits that can be derived through a planned and well coordinated internship program:

 a.  All Students.  All interns get an exposure to the real business environment and become familiar with organizational practices and culture. They grow an ability to work on real business problems and learn to apply acquired theoretical knowledge to practical fields. Internship also helps them learn the concepts of various fields of management practically, thereby the program itself works like a laboratory work.

 

b.  Network of Students.     Internship program can especially help them to grow a network of contacts in the business world. Through internship, these students get an opportunity to be evaluated by the prospective employers. This is likely to shorten their subsequent job search procedure, leading to possible employment.

 

c. Host Organizations.   All organizations need efficient management staff to excel. Finding the right and most suitable candidate is a difficult job, especially when recruitment has to be done basing on past performances in different educational institutes and an interview. Internship program gives the organizations an opportunity to evaluate and select the most suitable candidate for employment. Any dynamic business organization continually evaluates various projects for future expansion of their business. Such studies are expensive when done by professional management consultants. Internship allows them to get professional standard project works done at the cheapest.

Selection of Organizations

Most important criteria for selection of organizations will be that the organizations must be suitable to fulfill the learning purpose. It must be realized that the major market of the BBA and MBA in Bangladesh are in the private sector. Some of the criterion that may be further looked into while choosing may be:

 

• Reputed international organizations dealing with development like World  Bank, ILO, UN affiliated bodies (UNDP, UNICEF etc), MIF etc. Internship in these organizations may elevate the overall image of AIBA to a great extent.
• Multinational companies and large local business companies (preferably in the private sector) where a close to ideal management setup exists.
• Multinational organizations those are involved in manufacturing some products with their manufacturing plants in Bangladesh.
• Service industries like leasing companies, banks, insurance companies, airlines etc.
• Organizations which are expanding their product/service lines and operating in the growing/ maturity stage of the Life Cycle.
• Organizations which have the ability to accommodate large number of management staff and are prime players in the private sector job market of Bangladesh.
• Organizations of Sena Kallyan Sangstha, The Army Welfare Trust etc who needs professional management assistance in order to excel, provided those business ventures are large enough to be useful and has suitable potentialities to grow.
• Organizations run or managed by the three services or AFD, like Khulna Shipyard, BMTF etc.

Outline of Schedule

Grading

Grades of internship will be based on the proposal, the report itself, the presentation and comments in the intern evaluation sheet. Passing grade will be C, failing which an intern will have to rewrite the report or redo the whole internship before he/she can be awarded the degree (Tabulation sheet is attached as annex C)

 

Repeating Internship

a. If the problem is mainly with the report itself or minor in nature and can be rectified within a short span of time, the student will be asked to rewrite the report or part of it and deposit within one week.

 b.  If the problem is of major in nature for example, a copied work, a low quality work or if the problem relates to personal behavior, responsibility, sincerity or discipline of the intern, the student will be asked to redo the internship with next batch of students.

 c.  Chance of repeating the internship (whether rewrite or redo) will be allowed maximum once. In case of a student failing to attain a passing grade after rewriting or redoing

Result

Computation of CGPA

CGPA will be computed after each semester to determine the academic standing of the student in the program. Calculation of CGPA will be done following a 4 step procedure as following:

a.         Step-1. Grade Points earned in each course will be computed basing on credit hours in that course and the individual grade earned in that course by multiplying both.

b.         Step 2. All subject grade points (determined at Step 1) will be added to determine the Total Grade Points Earned.

c.         Step 3.  Credits of all courses will be added together to determine the Total Number of Credits.

d.         Step 4. CGPA will be determined by dividing the results of Step 2 by result of Step 3.

Incomplete Grades.     

For any incomplete course work, a student may be assigned the grade ‘Incomplete’ (if permitted by Academic Council of AIBA), which will be recorded as ‘I’ with an alternative grade based on the work completed at that point in time. The alternative grade will come into effect if the student fails to complete the course requirement within 4 weeks from the publication of the provisional results.

Repeating/ Retaking Courses.     

Since passing of all courses individually is a degree requirement, a student earning an ‘F’ grade in any course shall be required to improve the grade by retaking the course offered in the subsequent available semester. A student earning a grade of A- or below may also elect to improve the grade by retaking the course when offered in the subsequent semester. In order to retake a course, the student must apply as such at least 4 (four) weeks before the commencement of the semester. However, a candidate can notretake any course after graduation. In this case, the student desiring to retake a course shall have to apply to the Head of Department to withhold his/her graduation. The grade earned on the retaken course will be shown in the transcript along with an ‘R’ symbol depicting ‘Retake’. However, the grade earned on such course(s) would be used for computing the final CGPA. A course can be retaken only once.
