1.4 Limitations

While going through the internship program, it should be noted that period was very pleasant because of cooperation and trustfully access had been given into too many databases for updating. But as it was an internship program designed by the department of B.B.A course some limitations should to be mentioned from report preparation point of view.

There are some limitations I had faced during completing this report. These are:

1. This report is prepared on the basis of data available to me. So any kind of fault or error data would be a cause of misleading result to the reader of this report.

2. A huge number of data is given regarding securities market operation. For time shortage, it’s not possible for me to accumulate and represent all data in the report.

3. As DSE is a sensitive organization, any leakage of internal information may fall a great impact on market. So I was not allowed to access all information.

4. Employees of said organization are so busy that they can not give proper time to cooperate internee.

5. Shortcoming of practical experience to comprehend the conceptual framework of this type of report.
