Comparison between computer science engineering and IT engineering.

Hello Aspirant,



The Computer science engineering : 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.





Hope you understand

All the best!

Hello,



Let me first discuss the technical differences.

• CS takes a more balanced approach between theory and application while IT focuses more on application

• CS offers you an opportunity to learn variety of topics related to computers. IT offers you an opportunity to discovers innovative uses of those fundamental concepts.

• CS generally require a decent background in math while use of math in IT is limited to data analysis / processing / statistics, etc

You may call IT as one of the sub-divisions of CS, however there are certain things that are unique to IT like integrated programming, system administrations, maintenance, etc.



While these differences exist on paper, in India the line of difference between IT and CS courses is very blurry.



Here are the similarities :

• None of them involves hardwares. You may have to take one or two courses on digital systems where you will study about ICs and logic gates. Thats it. You wont learn how to repair computers in any of them.

• Most of the courses offered in both the branches are related to programming. You will have to program on a daily basis in both the branches.

CONCLUSION:



If you can get CS go for it but if you like programming and your rank cant fetch you a CS seat, then IT wont disappoint you. If you are hard working, you will get what you need to become a successful programmer from IT branches.

The comparison matters only if you are not hard working and you keep looking for something to put the blame on. There are great programmers from Civil and Mechanical branches also.



I hope this would help you. For further queries please feel free to write me down in the comment box.
