B.E. (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science) Design Thinking Syllabus - Mumbai University 2026

This is the SY BE AI and DS syllabus under NEP 2020, in force from the academic year 2025-26. 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.
