B.E. (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science) Computer Networks Syllabus - Mumbai University 2026

This is the TY BE AI and DS syllabus under CBCS REV-2019 'C' Scheme, in force from the academic year 2022-23. The University has published no NEP 2020 syllabus for Semesters V to VIII of any engineering branch, so this is the scheme you are examined on — exam form 1T01815 and 1T01816. The first and second years of the degree are on NEP 2020.
