B.E. (Biomedical Engineering) Human Anatomy and Physiology for Engineers Abbreviated As HAPE Syllabus - Mumbai University
This is the Second Year Biomedical Rev 2019 C Scheme syllabus under REV-2019 'C' Scheme, in force from the academic year 2020-21. The University also publishes a NEP 2020 syllabus for Semesters III and IV, which is what the current second year is taught; this scheme is what ATKT candidates of the earlier batches still sit. Check which scheme your examination form names before you revise.
