Conclusion:

 The modern business world is on the fastest flow of competition which is growing wider and wider. To have sustainability in this competitive world the organization are formulating new strategies and business plan with maximum efficiency levels in all sectors. Due to competition it is very difficult to build a strong base for the bank and to uphold the image of bank. Banking is becoming more and more vital for economic development of Bangladesh. in mobilizing capital and other resources. Jamuna Bank, being a third generation bank, is also extending such contributions as to the advancement of the socioeconomic condition of the country. JBL has some problems but it is encouraging that they are trying to overcome these obstacles. It should take necessary steps & spread over their products all over the country. Without a strong footing of deposit it is not possible to grant huge amount of loans and advance that is one of the major sources of income of a bank and without huge amount it is not possible to attract the major portion that enjoys credit facilities. It will more justify for JBL to concentrate on corporate banking than consumer banking i.e. the major portion of the profit will be generated from corporate sector not from consumer section.

 As a BBA student I have completed my internship from Jamuna Bank Limited (Gulshan Branch). I have work with General Banking Department. Jamuna Bank is almost a new player in the banking sector and is committed to provide high quality services to its stakeholders. It contributes to the GDP of a country through different financial product and profitable utilization of fund.

 From the findings it can be observed that JBL trying it level best to maintaining the sustain growth level. Although it could not reach the highest position but it growth rate is continuously increasing.
