1.4 Data Sources:
It is collected through structured questionnaire by conducting survey.
(Direct Interview or telephonic interview)
Internet, journals, books, magazines, etc.....
1.5 Research Design:
Our research is Descriptive in nature as the banking industry is well-developed in India and lot of research has already been done in this area.
1.6 Research tool :
SERVQUAL is an instrument for measuring how customers perceive the quality of a service. In the mid-1980s Berry and his colleagues Parasuraman and Zeithaml began to investigate what determines service quality and how it is evaluated by customers. As a result of their study they developed the SERVQUAL instrument for measuring service quality, which initially included 10 service quality dimensions, which were later reduced to the following five: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy.
This instrument has been widely used by researchers, but still, there are some controversies in its applicability across different service industries. In some studies the five dimensions of the instrument (determinants) have been found to be unstable across different types of services. Therefore, the SERVQUAL tool should be applied very carefully and the set of determinants and attributes used should be adapted to the specific situation.

Chi-Square test of independence
The test is applied when there are two categorical variables from a single population. It is used to determine whether there is a significant association between the two variables.For example, in an election survey, voters might be classified by gender (male or female) and voting preference (Democrat, Republican, or Independent). We could use a chi-square test for independence to determine whether gender is related to voting preference. This approach consists of four steps: (1) state the hypotheses, (2) formulate an analysis plan, (3) analyze sample data, and (4) interpret results.
1.7 Hypothesis:
A chi- square test for independence has been conducted for knowing the relation between the age group and the preference towards the two types of banks.
-
Ho: Preference towards public/private sector banks and age group are independent of each other.
-
H1: Preference towards public/private sector banks and age group are dependent of each other.
-
1.8 Limitations of the Study:
-
Respondents may give biased answers for the required data. Some of the respondents did not like to respond.
-
In our study we have included 50 customers of each bank because of time limit.
