Printing & Binding for Symbiosis International University
Symbiosis International (Deemed University) does not publish a thesis binding requirement, so confirm the format with your department before printing. Printster binds to whatever specification you are given — spiral, soft cover or hard binding with gold foiling — and delivers to Pune in 5–10 working days, with black & white from ₹0.60 a page. The guidelines refer to 'the colour scheme for the cover page' without stating the colour in the text, and do not give a binding type, spine text or thesis copy count.
Symbiosis International University's main campus in Lavale, at the western edge of Pune, hosts flagship programmes across management, law, engineering, media, and health sciences. The MBA at SIBM, the BA/BSc at Symbiosis School of Liberal Arts, and the law programmes at SLS all generate regular print requirements. MBA students at SIBM and SCMHRD produce market research reports, group project submissions, and final-year dissertations; media students at SIMS compile research dossiers; law students at SLS compile reading packs and moot submissions. Printster accepts PDF and DOCX uploads, offers B&W and colour printing, and delivers to Lavale and across Pune in 5–10 working days. Payment is online via UPI, card, or net banking.
Institution type: Deemed University, City: Pune, Maharashtra; delivery: 5–10 working days.
MBA Project Reports and Case Compilations
Symbiosis MBA students routinely submit semester project reports — marketing plans, finance case analyses, HR research papers — that are 60 to 120 pages long. Faculty sometimes distribute case study compilations as printed handout packs, particularly for summer project reviews. B&W double-sided printing at ₹0.60/page keeps the cost of a 100-page double-sided report to around ₹60 for printing alone. Perfect binding (from ₹110) is the standard finish for a project report submitted for evaluation.
Dissertation Binding for MBA and Other Postgraduate Programmes
Symbiosis postgraduate dissertations — whether at SIBM, SIIB, SITM, or other institutes — typically require a formally bound document with a university-specified colour spine or cover. Hard binding or glue binding in the required format is available on Printster. Upload your final PDF with embedded fonts; the system preserves your formatting exactly, including header styles and tables.
Reading Materials and Course Packs
For elective courses or modules where faculty distribute compiled reading packs, printing a personal copy can save significant time during exam season. A 250-page reading pack printed double-sided and spiral bound comes to roughly ₹150 for printing plus ₹40 for binding — a reasonable investment for last-minute revision.
Delivery to Lavale and Pune
Symbiosis's Lavale campus is about 20 km from Pune city centre, in a relatively isolated hill location. Printster delivers to Lavale and all Pune addresses within 5–10 working days. For semester-end submission deadlines, order at least 7 working days before your due date.
