Economy of Bangladesh is in the group of world’s most underdeveloped economics. One of the reasons may be its underdeveloped banking system. Modern banking system plays a vital role for a nation’s economic development. Over the last few years the banking world has been undergoing a lot of changes due to deregulation, technological innovations, globalization etc. These changes also made revolutionary changes of a country’s economy. Present world is changing rapidly to face the challenge of competitive free market economy. It is well recognized that there is an urgent need for better-qualified management and better-trained staff in the dynamic global financial market. Bangladesh is no exception of this trend. Banking sector in Bangladesh is facing challenges from different angles though its prospect is bright in the future. Money and banking is the center around which all economic science clusters. In 1993 during the implementation of Financial Sector Reform Project the international expert Harris Jafry proposed first to introduce MBM program at BIBM to mitigate the deficit of efficient manpower in banking sector. In his FSRP report he said “The MBM degree program would be developed and implemented in collaboration with some well-known foreign university that would approached to provide support to the program during the initial years”. The two year MBM program consists of eight terms, having three months in each term. As per the requirements of the MBM program we were placed to different banks for the matter of having practical exposure to banking practices. As a student of MBM I have been deputed to Dutch-Bangla Bank Limited (DBBL).
