B.Sc. (Computer Science) IoT Technologies Syllabus - Mumbai University
This is the SY BSc Computer Science syllabus under NEP 2020, in force from the academic year 2025-26. The University still sets the earlier Choice Based papers alongside it — her Summer 2026 third-year timetables name that scheme — so check which scheme your exam form names before you revise.
