Find print and xerox shops near BU Central College, bengaluru

About this place

Bangalore University's Central College Campus sits on Dr. Ambedkar Veedhi, right behind Vidhana Soudha, and that location alone tells you a lot about its character. Established in 1886 as one of the oldest educational institutions in Karnataka, it houses the arts, commerce, and law faculties and remains a magnet for undergraduates from across Bengaluru and beyond. The campus is compact, heritage-style, and packed with students cycling between the red-brick Senate House and the central library. With the metro running below its edge and government offices bordering it on three sides, the area sees constant foot traffic. Around 17 listed xerox and print shops operate in the lanes radiating from the campus, serving students heading to exams, library work, and project submissions.

Getting here and around

The nearest metro stop is Dr. Ambedkar Stadium station on the Purple Line, which puts you a short walk from the main gate. Cubbon Park and Vidhana Soudha bus stops on KR Road also see frequent BMTC buses from Majestic, KR Market, and surrounding localities. Autos and two-wheeler riders dominate the narrow lanes around the campus; parking inside is limited, so most visitors get dropped at the gate. Students tend to move on foot between departments, the library, and the nearest printing shop, which usually takes under ten minutes.

Why printing demand is high here

This is a print-heavy pocket of Bengaluru. Students from the Central College Campus run through three exam cycles a year, plus internal assessments and viva submissions, and every one of those cycles involves stacks of printed answer booklets, hall tickets, and project reports. Add to that the neighbouring IAS coaching hub on Race Course Road, law students filing court documents at the nearby Karnataka High Court complex, and PG students working on dissertations, and you have relentless demand.

The 17 listed shops in the area, including spots like Sri Durga Xerox Centre, stay busy from morning until late evening, particularly during the weeks leading up to semester and competitive exams.

What people typically print here

Hardbinding project reports for final-year commerce and arts students, spiral-bound assignments for economics and political science coursework, and back-to-back photocopying of previous-year question papers are the bread and butter. Law students frequently need certified copies of judgments and case briefs, while coaching aspirants print study material in bulk. Exam form printouts, admit card reprints, and notarised document copies round out the list during any given week.
