Printing & Binding for IIT Roorkee
IIT Roorkee students can upload thesis files and lab records to Printster.in and receive printed, bound copies delivered to Roorkee, Uttarakhand in 7–10 working days. Hard binding is available for PhD theses; B&W printing from ₹0.55/page and spiral from ₹35.
IIT Roorkee, established in 1847 as Thomason College of Civil Engineering and now one of India's premier technical universities, is located in Roorkee, Uttarakhand — a smaller city compared to the metros where most IITs are found. This geographic reality means students cannot easily access the same range of print shops that metro-based IIT students take for granted. The institute's civil, electrical, mechanical, earth sciences and biotechnology departments all generate substantial academic print work: B.Tech project reports, M.Tech dissertations, PhD theses, and the lab observation records that Roorkee's engineering curriculum demands. Printster's online-first model is particularly valuable here — students can upload files from the institute's network, have prints professionally processed, and receive bound copies delivered to their hostel or Roorkee city address within 7–10 working days.
Institution type: IIT, City: Roorkee, Uttarakhand; delivery: 5–10 working days.
Thesis and Dissertation Printing
IIT Roorkee's PhD thesis format is governed by rules set by the Dean of Academic Affairs. Hard (case) binding is required for the final copies submitted to the institute, with specific spine text including the scholar's name, programme and year. M.Tech dissertations and B.Tech project reports are typically perfect-bound (from ₹110) for final submissions. Since both thesis types require binding that adds 1–2 working days to Printster's processing, scholars should plan to order at least 10 working days before their submission date.
Lab Records and Practical Files
IIT Roorkee's long engineering tradition means laboratory work is central to the curriculum, particularly in Civil, Mechanical, Chemical and Electrical Engineering. Students maintain observation records throughout the semester and submit printed practical files at the end. These typically run 40–100 pages in B&W. At ₹0.55/page B&W, a 80-page observation record costs around ₹44 to print, plus spiral binding (from ₹35) — affordable for a document submitted every semester.
Research Reports for Sponsored Projects
IIT Roorkee has a strong track record of industry-sponsored research, especially in civil engineering, earthquake engineering and hydrology. Research groups regularly produce formal printed progress reports for sponsoring agencies. These are typically 30–60 pages in B&W with a cover page and may require soft binding. Printster handles such B2B-style print jobs without any minimum quantity requirement.
