 Preface
It gives me great pleasure to present the guidelines for the 15-days internship program for
Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) and Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) students
affiliated with Bengaluru North University (BNU). This report is the culmination of
collaborative efforts involving the internship committee comprising 15 members from various
affiliated colleges of BNU, chaired by Dr. R S Narendra, Assistant Professor of Commerce and
Management at Government First Grade College, Kolar.
The internship program is designed to provide practical exposure to students in the field of
Commerce and Management, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical
application. Through this program, students will have the opportunity to gain insights into
real-world business operations, develop professional skills, and enhance their employability.
The guidelines outlined in this report have been formulated after three meetings with detailed
discussions, with the valuable support of the Honourable Vice-Chancellor, Registrar, and
esteemed Dean, Faculty of Commerce and Management, BNU. The committee also received
guidance from the Chairman of the Board of Studies (BOS) for B.Com Course, Chairman of the
BOS for BBA Course, Chairman of the Board of Examiners (BOE) for B.Com Course, Chairman
of the BOE for BBA Course, and other faculty members.
The internship program is structured into three phases: pre-internship, internship, and post-
internship. During the pre-internship phase, students will undergo orientation sessions,
industry awareness sessions, resume building workshops, and mentors be assigned. The
internship phase will involve 15 working days of internship training, focusing on both rural and
urban placements, in the fields of Commerce or Management. The post-internship phase
includes obtaining certificates from the organization, submission of internship reports, and
evaluation.
These guidelines aim to ensure that students receive comprehensive support and guidance
throughout the internship process, from selecting internship opportunities to preparing
reports and presentations. The program is designed to enrich students' learning experiences,
enhance their practical skills, and prepare them for successful careers in the field of
Commerce and Management.
I express my gratitude to all members of the internship committee, faculty, and staff who
contributed to the development of these guidelines. I am confident that the internship
program will be a valuable learning experience for our students and will contribute to their
professional growth.
