B.E. (Automobile Engineering) Tool Engineering Syllabus - Mumbai University 2026
The University has moved this degree onto NEP 2020 one year at a time. The first and second years are NEP 2020 syllabi; the third and fourth years are still examined on the REV-2019 'C' Scheme, which is what the University sets for them this year.
