What BHU's ordinance settles about binding, and when the two copies are due

The specification we hold here is BHU (Banaras Hindu University)'s Ph.D. Ordinance 2016, on bhu.ac.in, checked on 2026-08-31. Its binding line is a timing rule as much as a finish rule: two hardbound copies are submitted after the viva-voce committee recommends the award of the degree. The entry records no cover colour, spine wording, paper weight or margins, so take those from your department.

Our card prices binding by method, per copy, 1 to 50 copies, before GST: hard binding ₹250, with golden print on the front ₹275, on the front and spine ₹350, soft cover ₹110, spiral ₹40, comb and wiro ₹45. No institutional specification names a Printster product. If the wording you are given mentions lettering, ask whether the spine carries it too: that is a different line on the card.

Covers, not coils: the binding mix on Varanasi orders

Shares here count printed items, one line on one order, and a Varanasi order usually carries several. Loose sheets with no binding is the finish chosen most often on Varanasi work, 53.0% against 53.9% across India, on 907 items. Soft cover (perfect) binding is next at 23.6% on 404 items against 11.4% nationally, about 2.1 times, and hard binding with color cover 3.0% on 52 items against 1.2%. Spiral runs the other way: 14.1% on 241 items against 17.6%.

The product table is a separate count. Varanasi's 535 orders over 24 months carry 1,928 lines in it, rank 5 of the 82 places we serve in Uttar Pradesh. PDF and document printing takes 70.0% of those lines, on 1,349 items averaging 186 pages at 2.0 copies. Paperback books are 17.7% against 10.7% across India, on 341 items averaging 405 pages; hardbound books 2.9% against 1.3%, on 55 items averaging 408 pages; art and graphic prints 1.0% against 0.2%, about 5.3 times.

Ordering against a date somebody else sets

Hard binding, soft cover binding, glue/tape and saddle stitch each add 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5 working days of production; spiral, comb, wiro and staple do not. The published window to Varanasi is 5 to 10 working days, production already inside it, starting the working day after we accept the order. It is an estimate, not a commitment to a calendar date.

That matters here because the BHU rule puts the two copies after a committee recommendation, a date set by other people. Count forward from that point rather than from the viva, and allow the window plus the binding days. If your department also wants a copy earlier, that is a second order to Varanasi and it starts its own count. If you need four pages this afternoon, print them near you.

What a 405-page file is charged at, and the four totals we publish

On a standard order, meaning 1 to 49 copies of a file of 21 pages or more on 75 GSM Normal, A4 black and white runs ₹0.60 a page on both sides and ₹0.85 on one; a shorter file is ₹0.63. Binding is charged per copy on top and 5% GST is added. At 100 copies or more the A4 double-sided rate falls to ₹0.54, which the two copies BHU asks for will never reach.

Only four totals are published on this site, all for one file: a 200-page A4 document, black and white on both sides, 75 GSM Normal, 1 to 49 copies, before GST. Pages alone are ₹120; with hard binding ₹370; with golden print on the front ₹395; on the front and spine ₹470. Varanasi's hardbound rows average 408 pages and its paperback rows 405, so none of those four is your total.

47 pincodes on the 221 series, and what the carrier band is not

Our courier network is configured for 47 serviceable pincodes in Varanasi, 87% of them on the 221 prefix. The district page above covers 49 serviceable pincodes across the 4 places we serve in the district; Uttar Pradesh runs to 1,766 serviceable pincodes in 85 districts. The 289 locality names listed below, Sarnath, Bhelupura and Varanasi Cantt among them, are addresses we deliver to, never premises.

For the leg after printing, the carrier network publishes a transit band of 3 to 4 days for Varanasi, and 50% of its serviceable pincodes are configured on it: 23 there, 13 in a 4 to 6 day band, 10 in a 5 to 7. That is configuration, not a record of how long a parcel took, and not the figure to plan a submission around. DTDC is configured on 20 of them, but we pick the carrier per order.

Frequently asked questions

What does BHU's ordinance say about binding a thesis?
It says two hardbound copies are submitted after the viva-voce committee recommends the award of the degree. That is the whole binding requirement we hold, from the BHU Ph.D. Ordinance 2016 on bhu.ac.in, checked 2026-08-31. It names no cover colour, spine wording, paper weight or margin, so confirm those with your own department.
How far ahead of a BHU submission should the order go in?
The window to Varanasi is 5 to 10 working days from the working day after we accept the order. Hard binding adds 1 to 2 working days beyond production. Because the ordinance places the two copies after the committee's recommendation, count from that date rather than from the viva, and treat the result as an estimate.
What does a page cost on a Varanasi order?
On a standard order of 1 to 49 copies of a file of 21 pages or more, A4 black and white is Rs 0.60 a page double-sided and Rs 0.85 single-sided; a shorter file is Rs 0.63. A5 is Rs 0.38 and A4 colour Rs 3.36. Binding is per copy on top, plus 5% GST.
The carrier band for Varanasi reads 3 to 4 days. Is that the delivery date?
No. That band covers the leg after printing and describes how the carrier network is configured, not how long parcels took: 50% of Varanasi's serviceable pincodes are set up in it. It does not replace the published 5 to 10 working days.
Why does spiral binding show up less often on Varanasi orders than nationally?
We do not know why; the tables record what was ordered and shipped, never the reason. What they show is that spiral binding is 14.1% of what we print for Varanasi against 17.6% across India, while soft cover (perfect) binding is 23.6% here against 11.4%.
Can I hand a file over or collect a finished order in Varanasi?
No. Every order to Varanasi leaves by courier for the address written on it, and the 289 locality names on this page, Sarnath and Lanka among them, are places we deliver to, not places we occupy. Pickup exists at the Delhi production facility, for Delhi orders.
Is it worth sending a multi-copy job like an e-book to Varanasi?
E-book printing for Varanasi averages 5.3 copies per item, higher than the other rows listed here, most averaging one. That is the row where the copy tiers repay a look: the A4 double-sided rate steps down at the 50 to 99 copy tier, and again at 100 copies or more.
