B.E. (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science) Reliability Engineering Syllabus - Mumbai University
This is the Fourth Year BE AI and DS syllabus under CBCS REV-2019 'C' Scheme, in force from the academic year 2023-24. The University has published no NEP 2020 syllabus for Semesters V to VIII of any engineering branch, so this is the scheme you are examined on — exam form 1T01817 and 1T01818. The first and second years of the degree are on NEP 2020.
