Hello,

CSE and IT Departments are really similar in many ways. There is a minute difference which seperate these departments apart.

CSE is involved in many aspects of computing from the design of personal computers, to circuit designing and to writing the software to make it work, or to design the microprocessor etc. IT on the other hand deals with the use of electronic computer and computer software to store, transmit and securely retrieve data.

The main difference is that computer science is creating the software and hardware by using programing skills and on the other hand IT is selecting the proper software or hardware for a particular given task to make it work perfectly.

So in the choice between CSE & IT, CSE has the upper hand since it open doors to IT and has more options as compared to an IT student. You can opt for any of them since both has nice placement opportunities across various colleges.

Hello aspirant,

IT and CSE are almost the same but there is difference in the core subjects and their applications

The major  difference between both these field is that IT deals with the application of computing technology to be used in real life processes, while, Computer Science deals with the science that facilitates these applications. In short, Computer Science is the creation of software and hardware by using different programming skills and IT is just the selection of the proper software or hardware for the task.

If you want to go to the field of development, programming or data analysis, you must choose CSE and those interested in finance, defence or such external areas must choose IT.

In every colleges, the cut off for CSE is higher than IT as it has more scope and job opportunities are increasing day by day. In NIT Jalandhar, the last year cut off rank for CSE is 10800 and for IT is 13479. Choose the branch which suits your interest the most.

Hope this was helpful
