Find print and xerox shops near GAT, bengaluru

About this place

Tucked into the southern sprawl of Bengaluru, Global Academy of Technology sits off Mysore Road in the Rajarajeshwari Nagar belt — a self-contained engineering campus that draws its crowd mostly from the surrounding blocks. GAT runs undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in computer science, electronics, mechanical, civil and information science, and it functions more like a small academic township than a roadside college. The campus owns its own hostels, an auditorium block, and a workshop yard that swallows a chunk of the layout. Around its gates, the neighbourhood is a mix of paying-guest buildings, tiffin rooms, and two-wheeler showrooms, with residential colonies like Kenchenahalli and Hosakerehalli feeding students in every morning. Fourteen listed xerox and print shops ring the college, scattered roughly across the 560098 pin code zone, and most stay open past midnight during submission weeks.

Getting here and around

The closest BMTC feeder stop is right outside the main gate, with regular 401M and G-3 services running toward Kengeri satellite town and Majestic. Students who drive park two-wheelers along the service lane opposite block C, while cars usually use the visitors' bay near the security office. The Nice Road flyover cuts about four kilometres west of campus, giving a fast lane to electronic city and Mysore Road junctions. There is no metro station within walking radius yet, so most students rely on auto-rickshaws or college buses — autos charge a flat ₹30 to the nearest junction mall. Auto drivers know the campus by its "GAT" shorthand, which is honestly easier than pronouncing the full name for outsiders.

Why printing demand is high here

Semester submissions are brutal, and almost every department schedules at least two bound report deadlines per term, so the printing economy around this campus never really cools off. Placements are the second engine — recruitment drives pull in forty-something companies a year, and each candidate usually walks out with five to ten copies of CVs, cover letters and project abstracts. Add in lab manuals, record books, IEEE-format papers for final-year students, and the steady photocopy traffic from hostel residents collecting bonafide certificates, and you can see why fourteen shops handle the load. During the week before project reviews, queues at Sri Maruthi Xerox Centre regularly spill onto the pavement, and that pattern repeats across every engineering college in this corridor.

What people typically print here

Colour project reports with coil or hard binding dominate the counters, alongside spiral-bound lab manuals for first and second-year cycles. Black-and-white notes — theory handouts, question banks, two-mark PDFs — move in bulk, usually priced per page. Students come in for ID-size photos, passport applications during winter break, and printouts of railway tickets or admit cards from downloaded PDFs. Final-year batches also print posters on A1 sheets for symposiums, and placement season brings a surge of laminated certificates and crisp CV stacks. Maps, route charts and circuit diagrams are staples from the electronics and mechanical streams.
