Hey Momin Danish,
Definitely yes, they are completely different than each other. Computer science is defined as “the study of the principles and use of computers.” While information technology is defined as “the study or use of systems (especially computers and telecommunications) for storing, retrieving, and sending information.”. While IT and CS degrees can lead to similar jobs, the differences between the two are quite pronounced. IT professionals should enjoy installing computer systems, using software and maintaining networks and databases, while computer scientists should enjoy mathematics and software design. They have different careers and different work environment, each is unique in one thing than the other. You need to identify which one is your career to go on its track. There are things in common which you might take in the beginning of your study if you feel confused or not determined and later on you can decide which one you need to continue in. computer science careers are the following (but not limited to):
· Software applications developer. Daily duties: ..
· Computer systems analyst. Daily duties:
· Computer systems engineer. Daily duties:
· Network systems administrator. Daily duties: · Database administrator. Daily duties: · Business intelligence analyst. Daily duties:
· Web developer.
· Computer programmer.
While information technology careers are:
1. Computer systems analyst
2. Information security analysts
3. Computer user support specialists
4. Computer network support specialists
All the best!
Below is the difference between IT and CSE
CSE: Computer science Engineers are involved in many aspects of computing, from the design of individual microprocessors, personal computers and supercomputers to circuit designing and writing software that powers them.
IT: Information Technology deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to store, protect process, transmit and securely retrieve data. IT professionals perform a variety of tasks that range from installing applications to designing complex computer networks and information databases.
The major difference between both these field is that IT deals with the application of computing technology to real life processes, while, Computer Science deals with the science that facilitates these applications. To make it short and simple, Computer Science is the creation of software and hardware by using different programming skills. On the other hand, IT is just the selection of the proper software or hardware for the task.
If we compare the scope between both the branches then CSE is the most demading branch among students and it has better scope in future in terms of Job, placement and package.
All the Best!!
