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