Printing & Binding for SRM Institute of Science and Technology
SRM Institute of Science and Technology specifies: each of the six evaluation copies is sewn and bound with a flexible cover of thick white art paper.

SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST), with its main campus at Kattankulathur near Chennai, is one of India's largest private engineering universities. SRM students — across B.Tech, M.Tech, MBA and medical programmes — face heavy printing demands throughout the academic year: laboratory observation records for every practical subject, mini-project reports each semester, comprehensive final-year project reports, and internship documentation packages. The Kattankulathur campus is somewhat removed from Chennai city's dense printing market, making on-campus or nearby shop access the primary option. Printster gives SRM students a fully online alternative — upload your project PDF from your hostel room, configure printing and binding preferences, pay via UPI, and receive your document at the Kattankulathur campus area or any Chennai address within 5–10 working days. Students travelling home to other cities can also redirect orders to their home address.
Institution type: Deemed University, City: Chennai, Tamil Nadu; delivery: 5–10 working days.
Final-Year Project Reports
SRM's B.Tech and M.Tech final-year project reports follow a department-specific format: A4 double-sided printing, a specific cover page, and hard-cover binding for the copy submitted to the department. Printster supports all of these requirements. Hard-cover binding is available and adds 1–2 working days to the timeline — plan your order at least two weeks before submission.
Laboratory Observation Records
SRM's laboratory courses require students to maintain printed observation records submitted for continuous assessment. These are typically 30–60 pages per subject per semester. At ₹0.60/page for B&W, a 50-page lab record costs ₹30 in print. spiral binding from ₹40 is the standard choice for lab records.
Internship and Industrial Training Reports
SRM's mandatory industry internship between third and fourth year generates a structured internship report — usually 40–80 pages including photographs, organisation certificates and technical documentation. Colour printing is useful for embedded photographs and charts (from ₹3.36/page). A soft-cover perfect-bound copy is commonly acceptable for internship submissions.
Delivery to Kattankulathur and Chennai
Printster delivers to Kattankulathur and Chengalpattu district, as well as all Chennai pin codes including Tambaram, Chromepet, Velachery and Anna Nagar. Delivery takes 5–10 working days from the next working day after order confirmation. Binding adds 1–2 days.
