B.E. (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science) Environmental Chemistry and Non Conventional Energy Sources Syllabus - Mumbai University

This is the FY BE AI and DS syllabus under NEP 2020, in force from the academic year 2024-25. The third and fourth years of this degree are still taught on the earlier CBCS REV-2019 'C' Scheme, because the University has published no NEP syllabus for Semesters V to VIII of any engineering branch.
