B.E. (Biomedical Engineering) Biomedical Signal Analysis and Processing Syllabus - Mumbai University 2026
This is the Second Year Biomedical NEP 2020 syllabus under NEP 2020, in force from the academic year 2025-26. The University also publishes a REV-2019 'C' Scheme syllabus for these same two semesters, which is what ATKT candidates of the earlier batches sit. Check which scheme your examination form names before you revise.
