Printing & Binding for Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU)
Savitribai Phule Pune University specifies: submitted in compact bound form with a soft copy on CD. Cover: the hard-bound thesis cover shall be black. The cover card must not be more than 330 GSM. Printster prints and binds to that specification and delivers to Pune in 5–10 working days, with black & white from ₹0.60 a page and hard binding from ₹250 a copy. The paper size in the PDF reads '44 size' where the original almost certainly says A4; the OCR of this document is imperfect.
Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) is one of Maharashtra's largest affiliating universities, serving hundreds of colleges across Pune, Ahmednagar and Nashik districts. Engineering students under SPPU submit semester-end project reports; MBA and MCA programmes require full dissertations with hard-cover binding; B.Sc and M.Sc students print lab records and research project write-ups every term. The Aundh Road and Ganeshkhind printing lanes near the university campus are a familiar haunt — but for students in affiliated colleges scattered across Pune city and its outskirts, travelling to a shop is not always practical. Printster offers SPPU students the ability to place a print order entirely online: upload PDFs or Word documents, pick single-sided or double-sided printing, select a binding style, pay via UPI or card, and get it couriered to your Pune hostel, flat or home. No walking to a shop, no COD.
Institution type: State University, City: Pune, Maharashtra; delivery: 5–10 working days.
Project Reports and Dissertations — the SPPU Staple
SPPU's engineering affiliates require B.E. and M.E. final-year project reports in soft or hard binding; many college guidelines specify A4 double-sided printing with a specific margin. MBA and MCA students submit dissertation reports that typically run 80–150 pages. Printster prints double-sided to save paper and cost, and the online calculator gives you an exact quote before checkout.
Binding Styles Suited to SPPU Submission Norms
Spiral (wiro) binding suits shorter seminar reports and reference copies. Perfect-bound soft covers are common for MBA dissertations; hard-cover binding with lamination is the norm for B.E./M.E. final submissions. Spiral starts at ₹40, perfect bound from ₹110. Binding adds 1–2 working days, so factor this into your order timeline.
Uploading Files for Pune's Engineering and Management Colleges
PDF is the recommended format — flatten your fonts before saving. DOCX and PPT are also supported, up to 100 MB per upload. If your project has appendices saved separately, merge them into a single PDF to preserve the page sequence. Colour printing (from ₹3.36/page) works well for circuit diagrams, graphs and cover pages.
Delivery to Pune and Affiliated Districts
Printster delivers to all Pune pin codes — Kothrud, Viman Nagar, Shivajinagar, Hadapsar, Pimpri-Chinchwad and beyond. Delivery takes 5–10 working days from the next working day after order confirmation. Students in Ahmednagar and Nashik (both SPPU jurisdiction) can also order with the same timeline.
