TU BIM and BBM Internship Report Format: 8th Semester Structure, Marking and the BBM Project Option
6 October 2026 · 8 min read
BIM (Bachelor of Information Management) and BBM (Bachelor of Business Management) students at Tribhuvan University both finish with an eight-week internship in the final semester. Both write the report to the Faculty of Management's common format. But the course behind it is different in each programme, and BBM students also have a choice that BIM students do not. This guide uses the FOM curricula for batches from 2021 and the eighth-semester course documents dated November 2025.
BIM vs BBM at a glance
BIM: IT 350 Internship, 3 credit hours, eighth semester. Eight weeks attached to an organisation, and an individual report in the prescribed format. Marking is based on the organisation's confidential report, your project report and its presentation. The BIM documents give no percentage weights.
BBM: MGT 350 Internship or PRJ 351 Project Report Writing, 6 credit hours, eighth semester. You take one or the other. The internship is eight weeks with an individual report, marked 25% organisational evaluation, 50% written report and 25% presentation.
Not to be confused with: BIM's IT 352 Project, a separate sixth-semester course with its own guideline, and the summer project in other FOM programmes.
The minimum grade: B, not C
Both curricula say a minimum grade of C in the internship course text, then require a minimum of B in their graduation requirements. FOM's internship format sheet also says B, calculated on the average of the organisational evaluation and the presentation-and-report component. Plan for B. A C may pass the course and still leave you short of graduating.
The report format both programmes use
FOM's “Format of Internship Report of All Program” sets a five-part body, followed by references or bibliography:
1. Introduction: background, objectives, and methodology — how you selected the organisation, your placement, the duration and the activities.
2. Brief introduction of the industry: for BIM usually IT services, banking technology, telecom or software; for BBM, the organisation's sector in Nepal.
3. Brief introduction of the organisation: history, structure, products or services, and where your department fits.
4. Analysis of activities done and problems solved: the core of the report.
5. Conclusion: the lessons learnt, tied to specific work.
The format sheet sets no page count, font, spacing or citation style. Those come from your college. Where it says nothing, A4, Times New Roman 12, 1.5 spacing and APA are a safe default, and match what other TU FOM templates use.
For BIM students: make Part 4 technical
FOM does not prescribe a separate IT format for BIM, so the five parts apply. But Part 4 is where a BIM report should show it is a BIM report. If you worked on a bank's core system support, describe a process and the system behind it: a data flow, an issue-ticket workflow, a database table you queried, or a module you tested. Report what you measured, such as response times, ticket volumes or defects found, and what you would change. A Part 4 that reads like a business-student report with “computer” added in loses the marks it could have won.
For BBM students: internship or project report?
PRJ 351 Project Report Writing is a research report supervised by a college faculty member. It is marked 70% on the written report and 30% on a presentation run as a college seminar, with FOM appointing independent external evaluators. The internship moves a quarter of the marks to your organisation's evaluation, which rewards turning up, cooperating and contributing.
Choose the internship if you can secure a placement with real work, and want the experience and possibly a job offer from it.
Choose the project report if you cannot get a meaningful placement, or prefer a research topic you control, such as a questionnaire study or an analysis of published financial data.
Either way, FOM requires the report in its prescribed format, so the structure and formatting discipline is the same.
What the organisation is scoring
The organisation's evaluation form rates you from 5 to 1 on regularity, performance, contribution to solving problems, behaviour and cooperation, and overall impression. For BBM that form is a quarter of your mark. Ask your supervisor in the first week what a useful contribution would look like. It gives you a better Part 4 and a better score.
Why reports come back
Part 4 written as a weekly diary, with no process analysed and no problem addressed.
Parts 2 and 3 copied from the company website. These sections flag on similarity checks, so paraphrase and cite them.
Internal figures, client data or system screenshots included without permission.
A conclusion of generic lessons (“I learnt teamwork”) instead of lessons tied to specific tasks.
A missing or unsigned organisation evaluation form.
Internship report help — Structure, analysis and formatting reviewed against FOM's format.
Finished your BIM or BBM internship and need to turn eight weeks of notes into a report? Send your notes or draft on WhatsApp at +977 9768768340. We will structure it to FOM's format and check the industry and organisation sections for similarity.
Not sure if your work has plagiarism? Don't worry. Send it to us.
Tell us what you need checked and when it is due. Your document is checked without being stored in any student-paper repository, so the check never counts against your real submission. The reports come back with what each match means, not just a percentage.
Plagiarism report — The full similarity report on your assignment, proposal or chapter: every matched source listed, every flagged passage marked, and a plain read of which matches matter and which are your reference list doing its job.
AI report — The AI writing indicator read separately from similarity, because the two scores behave differently. If the flag looks like a detector artefact on work you wrote yourself, we tell you so, and what evidence answers it.
Thesis report — Similarity and AI reports for a full thesis or dissertation, run chapter by chapter so a problem in the literature review is found while you can still fix it, with each flagged passage explained for your supervisor.
