We do not host the official scheme PDF. Download that from vtu.ac.in and match the subject code on your admission ticket before you trust any module title on this page.
The 2022 core for CN is commonly taught as 5 modules: Unit 1 Introduction and fundamentals; Unit 2 Core methods; Unit 3 Analysis and design; Unit 4 Advanced topics; Unit 5 Applications.
CIE work for a theory paper is usually internals plus assignments; a lab companion, if any, is marked separately. CN lists a lab component on VTUHub — treat the lab record as its own CIE bucket.
Elective baskets and college-specific experiments do not always appear in a generic CSE list. If the code on your ticket is not BCS502, you are on the wrong page.
