Printing & Binding for IIT Kharagpur
IIT Kharagpur students can upload project reports, thesis chapters and lab records to Printster.in and get printed, bound copies delivered to Kharagpur, West Bengal in 7–10 working days. Hard binding is available for PhD theses; B&W printing from ₹0.55/page.
IIT Kharagpur, India's oldest IIT, is a self-contained campus town in Kharagpur, West Bengal — about 120 km from Kolkata. With over 10,000 students across 19 departments and schools, ranging from Civil Engineering and Metallurgical Engineering to Architecture, Law and Business Management, the printing needs are as diverse as the student population. B.Tech, Dual Degree, M.Tech, MBA and PhD students all produce formal printed documents: project reports, theses, dissertation drafts, and technical presentations. The campus has printing and reprographic facilities, but the volume — especially near end-semester project submission periods in November and April — regularly creates bottlenecks. Printster's fully online model is a practical solution: scholars and students can upload files from the campus network and have printed copies delivered to their hostel or a Kharagpur town address.
Institution type: IIT, City: Kharagpur, West Bengal; delivery: 5–10 working days.
Final Project Reports and Theses
IIT Kharagpur's B.Tech final-year project reports, M.Tech dissertations and MBA project reports follow institute-prescribed formats. The Academic Section guidelines specify binding type: PhD theses require hard (case) binding; M.Tech theses and senior project reports are commonly perfect-bound (from ₹110). Draft copies shared with supervisors are typically spiral-bound (from ₹35) for easy reading and annotation. Printster supports all these formats.
Architecture and Engineering Drawing Prints
The Department of Architecture and Regional Planning at IIT Kharagpur generates large-format design prints — site plans, floor plans, section drawings — that students submit for studio review and jury presentations. While Printster focuses on A4 document printing, architectural presentation booklets consolidating A4-reduced versions of drawings into a design report are a common use case.
Research Compilation and Lab Records
Research scholars at IIT Kharagpur's active labs in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Science and Biotechnology regularly print literature review compilations, research progress reports for sponsors, and internal lab meeting summaries. Lab records for undergraduate students in Chemistry and Engineering science courses are typically 40–80 B&W pages.

Frequently asked questions
- How far in advance should an IIT Kharagpur student order for a project submission?
- Allow 8–12 working days before your submission date: 7–10 days for delivery to Kharagpur plus 1–2 days for binding. For PhD thesis copies (multiple bound volumes), ordering 12 working days ahead is wise.
- What binding does IIT Kharagpur require for PhD and M.Tech theses?
- PhD theses at IIT Kharagpur require hard (case) binding with the institute details on the spine. M.Tech theses are typically perfect-bound (soft cover, glue spine). Confirm exact cover colour, font and spine labelling requirements with the Academic Section.
- Can IIT Kharagpur research scholars order multiple copies in one job?
- Yes. Specify the quantity (number of copies) when configuring your order. All copies are printed in the same job run, which is more cost-efficient than placing separate orders.
- Does Printster deliver to IIT Kharagpur hostels on campus?
- Printster ships to any valid Kharagpur address, including on-campus residential addresses. Use the full hostel block and room address at checkout. Delivery takes 7–10 working days from the next working day.
- My IIT Kharagpur thesis uses figures from MATLAB — will colours print correctly?
- Yes, provided you upload the figures as part of a colour-page order. Colour printing is available from ₹3/page. If only specific pages have MATLAB plots, select those pages for colour and print the rest in B&W to manage costs.
- Is there a minimum order size for using Printster?
- There is no minimum page count or minimum order value. A single 10-page document or a full 300-page thesis are both accepted. The per-page rate applies regardless of volume, and you can calculate the exact total using the online price calculator.
