The IIT Kanpur guide binds a Ph.D. and an M.Tech differently
The thesis guide we hold for IIT Kanpur, checked on 2026-08-31 at iitk.ac.in, asks for a fully bound thesis in soft cover for a Ph.D., and a partially bound one — coiled wire binding, clamping or filing — for an M.Tech. Proper binding comes after the thesis has been accepted, and the copies then go to the P.K. Kelkar Library and the department.
On the spine the guide is exact, then stops. The front cover should carry printing on the side giving the author's name, degree, department, year and an optional abbreviated title. It names no colour, no process and no supplier, and records no cover colour. A spine line specifies words, not a binding product, so nothing on our rate card follows from it.
75 gsm or heavier, 35 mm on the left, and a half-A4 option
On paper the same guide recommends A4, printed on both sides of good quality white paper of 75 gsm or more. Margins are exact: 25 mm at the top, bottom and right, 35 mm on the left, on textual and non-textual pages alike. Our standard per-page rate is quoted on 75 GSM Normal, which meets that weight. Margins live inside your file, so fix them before uploading.
The guide permits a book format roughly half the size of A4, but names no paper size, so ask your department. Our card prices double-sided black and white at ₹0.60 a page on A4 and B5, and ₹0.38 on A5, at the standard tier of 1 to 49 copies of a file of 21 pages or more. Kanpur does send long files: paperback book jobs here average 368 pages.
What 137 Kanpur orders actually contain
A printed item is one line on one order: the 137 orders shipped to Kanpur over 24 months carry 469 product lines and 463 binding lines. That is rank 22 of the 82 places we serve in Uttar Pradesh, 0.8% of our volume there, and rank 125 nationally. PDF and document printing takes 81.9% of those lines against 79.3% across India, on 384 printed items averaging 108 pages and 1.8 copies each.
Six product lines here carry a national comparison, and three sit above it. School books are 2.6% of everything we print for Kanpur against 0.1% across India, about 24.5 times, on 12 printed items averaging 201 pages. A4 printing is 3.6% against 0.7%, about 4.9 times, on 17 printed items averaging 43 pages. Study material and guides are 2.1% against 1.0%. An average will not price your file.
The no-binding line is 63.9% of what we finish for Kanpur
The most-chosen finish on Kanpur work is loose sheets with no binding: 63.9% of what we finish here against 53.9% across India, about 1.2 times, over 296 printed items. A second loose-sheet row is recorded separately, at 2.6%. Spiral sits level with the country, 17.5% against 17.6%, on 81 printed items, and is ₹40 a copy in the 1 to 50 copy band.
Soft cover (perfect) binding is 10.4% of what we finish for Kanpur against 11.4% across India, on 48 printed items, at ₹110 a copy in the same band. Centre staple with lamination is 2.6% here against 0.3% across India, about 10.2 times, on 12 printed items, at ₹35. Corner staple runs the other way: 1.9% here against 5.4% across India, at ₹2.
Working a Kanpur order backwards from the deposit date
Kanpur is outside Delhi NCR, so the published window is 5 to 10 working days, counted from the next working day after we accept the order, with production already inside it. The finish moves it. Production runs 3 to 5 working days. Soft cover binding, chosen on 48 printed items here, adds 1 to 2 working days on top of that, as do hard binding, glue/tape and saddle stitch. Spiral, on 81 of them, does not.
Proper binding follows acceptance, and the copies go to the P.K. Kelkar Library and the department after that, so an order for the deposit copies belongs in the gap between acceptance and deposit rather than before it. A reading copy now and a bound deposit copy later are two orders with two windows. If you need two pages this afternoon, a courier is the wrong instrument.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the IIT Kanpur thesis guide say about binding?
- Checked on 2026-08-31, it asks for a fully bound thesis in soft cover for a Ph.D., and a partially bound one — coiled wire binding, clamping or filing — for an M.Tech. It names no supplier, no product and no price, so confirm the wording with your department.
- Does the guide require gold lettering on the spine?
- It does not say so. The guide asks that the front cover carry printing on the side — the spine — and names no colour and no process for it. Our card does price hard binding with golden print, Rs 275 a copy on the front and Rs 350 on front and spine in the 1 to 50 copy band, but that is our price list, not the guide's requirement.
- What does printing a thesis for Kanpur cost?
- Double-sided A4 in black and white is Rs 0.60 a page at the standard tier, meaning 1 to 49 copies of a file of 21 pages or more. Binding is charged per copy in the 1 to 50 copy band: soft cover Rs 110, hard binding Rs 250. GST at 5% goes on top. Two published totals: a 200-page thesis is Rs 120 pages-only, Rs 370 hard bound.
- Is the 4 to 6 day band how long delivery to Kanpur takes?
- No. What we promise is 5 to 10 working days, production already inside it. The 4 to 6 day band is what the courier network publishes for the leg after printing: a configuration setting, not a measurement. Three Kanpur pincodes are configured at 4 to 6 days, two at 3 to 4 and one at 5 to 7. The window is an estimate, not a date we commit to.
- Why does the school books line run so far above the national rate for Kanpur?
- We do not know; the table was never built to answer it. School books are 2.6% of everything we print for Kanpur against 0.1% across India, about 24.5 times, but that is 12 printed items out of 469. The table records the product chosen in the cart, not who chose it.
- Do you deliver to every pincode in Kanpur?
- Our network is configured for 6 serviceable pincodes in Kanpur, across the 208 and 209 prefixes, 50% of them on 208, and serviceability is confirmed by pincode at checkout. Kanpur district counts 3 serviceable pincodes across the 1 place we deliver to inside it — a separate count on a separate footing, not a subset of the city figure.
- Can I collect the order in Kanpur, or pay when it arrives?
- Neither. You upload the file, choose paper, colour, sides and binding, pay by UPI, card or net banking before we print, and the job is couriered to the Kanpur address on the order. The 22 localities we list, Kalyanpur and Naubasta among them, are delivery destinations, not counters. Collection is at our Delhi facility, for Delhi addresses only, and cash on delivery is not offered.
