Printing Vision IAS & Mrunal Notes Cheaply

Updated: February 2025 • 4 min read

If you are preparing for UPSC, you know the burden of "The Pile". Monthly magazines, economy handouts (1000+ pages), and static syllabus books. Printing these at a local shop costs a fortune.

The "Mrunal Handout" Problem

Mrunal Sir's economy handouts are legendary but massive (often 1200+ pages).

Local Market Cost: 1200 pages x ₹2 = ₹2,400
OnlinePrintout Cost: 1200 pages x ₹0.60 = ₹720

That is a ₹1,680 saving on just one subject!

Vision IAS Monthly Magazines

Every month, the Vision IAS current affairs PDF is about 100-120 pages.

Recommended Binding Strategy:

  • Don't bind every month individually. It gets bulky.
  • The "Quarterly" Method: Combine 3 months (Jan, Feb, Mar) into a single PDF using Ilovepdf.com, then upload it for Spiral Binding. This creates a consolidated "Quarterly Current Affairs" book.

Vajiram & ForumIAS Materials

For coaching materials like Vajiram's "Yellow Books" or ForumIAS "Red Books", print quality is key. These contain dense text and diagrams.

  • Double-Sided Printing: Essential to reduce weight.
  • Binding: We recommend Softcover Thermal Binding for these. It mimics a real book spine, making it easier to stack on your shelf compared to spiral coils.
