B.E. (Biomedical Engineering) Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering Syllabus - Mumbai University 2026
This is the First Year Biomedical NEP 2020 syllabus under NEP 2020, in force from the academic year 2024-25. The University still sets the earlier Choice Based papers alongside it for ATKT candidates, so check which scheme your exam form names before you revise.
