Printing & Binding for University of Mumbai
University of Mumbai specifies: final hard-bound copies are accepted at submission after the viva-voce examination. Cover: black. Printster prints and binds to that specification and delivers to Mumbai in 5–10 working days, with black & white from ₹0.60 a page and hard binding from ₹250 a copy. The University of Mumbai's own archive host (archive.mu.ac.in) was unreachable when checked.
The University of Mumbai's sprawling affiliating structure spans dozens of autonomous colleges across Mumbai, Thane and Raigad. Students across streams — from B.Com and B.Sc to MBA and MCA — face a constant need for printed project reports, internship documents, seminar write-ups and university-prescribed readings. Mumbai's dense printing shop lanes (like Vidyanagari campus stalls near Kalina or Fort-area lanes near Churchgate) are convenient but not always open when a submission deadline is the next morning. Printster gives University of Mumbai students a reliable online alternative: upload your file in PDF, DOCX or PPT format, choose your binding and paper preferences, pay online via UPI or card, and receive a printed copy at your hostel, PG or home address anywhere in Mumbai. No COD; no print-shop queue.
Institution type: State University, City: Mumbai, Maharashtra; delivery: 5–10 working days.
What University of Mumbai Students Commonly Print
Affiliated college students submit structured project reports for every semester — commerce students prepare company-study and market-research reports, science students print lab observation records, and management students hand in comprehensive MBA project reports running 80–120 pages. Printster handles single copies or small batches with equal ease.
Binding Options That Meet Submission Guidelines
Most University of Mumbai project submissions require spiral binding or a hard/soft cover. Printster offers spiral (wiro) binding from ₹40, perfect-bound soft covers from ₹110, and hard-cover binding. Check the exact price for your page count using the online calculator — add binding turnaround (1–2 days extra) when ordering close to a deadline.
Uploading and Ordering
Accepted formats include PDF (recommended — embed all fonts before uploading), DOCX, DOC, PPT, PPTX, JPG and PNG up to 100 MB. For multi-chapter projects, zipping them as a single PDF before uploading avoids page-order issues. B&W printing starts at ₹0.60/page; colour prints (useful for charts and diagrams in research projects) from ₹3.36/page.
Delivery Across Mumbai
Printster delivers to all Mumbai pin codes — from Borivali and Malad in the west to Vashi and Belapur in Navi Mumbai, and Thane to Dombivli. Delivery takes 5–10 working days from the next working day after your order is placed. Add 1–2 days if you select spiral, hard or soft-cover binding. Plan accordingly if your submission has a firm date.
University of Mumbai submission specifications
Taken from the institution’s own published guidelines: University of Mumbai — Guidelines for Preparation of Thesis / Dissertation / Project Report (Ph.D. / M.E. / B.E.). Where a specification is not published we say so rather than guess — always confirm the current requirement with your department before printing.
The University of Mumbai's own archive host (archive.mu.ac.in) was unreachable when checked, so this is the same University of Mumbai guidelines document as republished by an affiliated college, Sardar Patel College of Engineering. Verify against mu.ac.in when their site is available.
