Hello,

There isn't any significant differences in between Information Technology and Computer Science. In IT you will study more about the practical applications and in CSE you will study both theory and practical aspects on Computer Science. To study IT or CSE one must have strong Mathematics knowledge. IT leads to innovation and we use CS knowledge to perform the operations etc.

Computer Science is where you apply your logical and mathematics thinking to do programming. Coding and the software part largely comes in Computer Science and IT is largely about the hardware part, infrastructure, cloud part.
