Viva College students must format Black Book submissions with a 1.5-inch left margin gutter (38mm) and 1-inch (25mm) top, bottom, and right margins on 85–100 GSM executive bond paper. Hardbound rexine covers require die-cast golden foil embossing with college crest and university seat numbers. Virar Stationery delivers finished copies in 3 to 5 hours right opposite Old Viva College.

1 Mumbai University Gutter & Margin Formatting Rules
The most common pitfall in student project submissions is using default 1-inch Word margins. When pages are bound into a hardcover volume, approximately 0.5 inches is stitched into the spine, concealing text and chart axes if the left gutter margin is not set to 1.5 inches.
Always convert your final document to PDF/A format before submission to preserve embedded fonts and vector diagrams.
- Left Margin: 1.5 inches (binding allowance)
- Top, Bottom, Right Margins: 1.0 inch
- Font family: Times New Roman or Georgia, 12pt for regular text
- Line Spacing: 1.5 lines with 6pt spacing after paragraphs
- Pagination: Arabic numerals bottom center starting after preliminary declarations
2 Official Viva College Cover & Spine Embossing Layout
Viva College departments require the full project title in all-caps golden lettering, followed by candidate names, seat numbers, guide designation, and the academic calendar year. The spine must feature the project title and year for college library archiving.
At Virar Stationery, our stamping equipment uses brass dies that ensure crisp, indelible foil impressions that do not peel or flake.
3 Same-Day Pickup for Viva Students on Ram Mandir Road
Because our store is situated opposite Mahavir Hospital right beside the Old Viva College campus gate, students can drop their PDF on WhatsApp before their morning lecture and collect their bound black book before the afternoon submission deadline.
Always save documents as standard PDF/A format before sending them for printing. This locks the typography, margins, and page breaks so your document prints with 100% precision. Send your file directly to our WhatsApp (+91 70210 72757) and we will check the resolution and margins before printing!
