Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing well.

Computer Science is the study of how data and instructions are processed, stored, and transmitted by computing systems, such as computers and other electronic devices. Computer Science is a modern descendant of Applied Mathematics and Electrical Engineering that studies algorithms for data processing, the symbolic representation of data and instructions, the design of instruction languages for data processing, techniques for writing software that processes data on a variety of computing platforms, protocols for reliably and securely transmitting data across networks, and other topics. As a result, computer scientists are scientists and mathematicians who research and create methods for processing, interpreting, storing, communicating, and protecting information.


Information Technology (IT) is the use of technology to the problem-solving of corporate operations. IT is concerned with the administration of computers rather than with computation. An IT professional combines programming, hardware administration, software administration, network administration and network security into a single job description. In computer science, algorithms, complexity theory, automata theory, distributed computation, parallel computation architecture, machine learning, cryptography, compiler construction, microprocessors and embedded systems, computer architecture, computer organisation, computer graphics, databases, digital signal processing, operating systems, and control systems are some of the topics that can be studied.

The course of study for a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Computer Science is usually coupled with the course of study for a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Computer Engineering. Today, both of them play an equally essential part in the development of new technologies in the next years. A narrower and more focused field than computer science, information technology encompasses subjects such as networking technology for digital devices, financial accounting and management of technological innovation, digital communication, Internet technology and applications and computer simulation modelling. It also includes subjects such as image processing, multimedia systems, and project management.

No one can definitively claim which is superior. It is entirely up to you to decide which one is best for you. Naturally, many people would argue that CSE is superior, but at the end of the day, you have to perform engineering and not something else entirely. As a result, you must make a decision after doing thorough research.


If you want to understand both theoretically and practically about hardware, software, and everything network-related tasks, consider studying CS. If all you want is software with a few management tricks and relational shop management that is becoming more and more realistic, IT is the way to go.

Hope that you got the answer to your question. Feel free to comment back incase of any doubts. All the Best!
