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.

Difference in course and core areas:

CSE:Computer Science engineering students study about design, implementation, and management of information system of both software and hardware processes. Students pursuing computer science study: Algorithms and Data Structure, Architecture, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Database and Information Retrieval, Human-Computer Communication, Numerical and Symbolic Computation, Operating Systems, Programming Languages and Software Methodology and Engineering.

IT:Information Technology deals with installation, development and implementation of computer systems and applications. Under this stream, students learn the following: Data Structures and Algorithms, Microprocessors and Interfacing, Computer Communication and Networking, Database Systems, Internet Technologies and Applications, Software Engineering etc.

Career scope:

CSE:Job openings for Software professionals is much higher in the corporate sector than in public sector. Professionals can join as junior programmer, database administrator, junior network manager, Data Analyst, Software Developer, Software Engineer, and Client-Server Systems Manager etc in the initial stage. Students have job opportunities at organizations like IBM, Intel, HP, TCS, INFOSYS, WIPRO, TECHMAHINDRA,CTS and Dell in India and abroad.

IT:Career options after B.Tech in Information Technology are good. IT Specialists are required in almost all range of employment fields such as finance, arts, medicine, defense, and other areas. Many opportunities are available in various IT firms all over India. Some of the leading IT Companies are Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Accenture, HCL Infotech, IBM, etc. These professional can get jobs in many public sector firms. Some of the leading public sector firms are BSNL, ISRO, CDIT, CDAC, etc.

Option in Higher Study:Students who have completed their bachelor degree in Computer Science or in Information technology go for higher specialization in the related area. There are various colleges in India as well as abroad that offer Masters program in Computer Science. Those who have pursued Masters of Business administration can attain both technical as well as administrative skills. Given below higher study options such as M.Phil and PhD also awaits professionals in Computer science and Information technology.

Masters in Technology

Masters in Engineering

Masters in Science

Masters in Business Administrations

M.Phil

Ph.D

Students only have to think about their interest and then select the field . They shouldnt leave any space for any sort of confusion. Taking the right decision at the initial stage, would be a boon to students in the research field and to those who want to do more invention or become innovators for tomorrows world.

Thank you :)

It's a good question for someone who is interested in programming to ask. I had the same question in mind before joining the course but could never manage to get a convincing answer. The difference between CS and IT varies from college to college so this answer may not be applicable everywhere. One can go on and on about the minute differences in the syllabii but the final conclusion I mostly get is this: CS is mostly about understanding the inner workings and concepts behind programming and computers whereas IT is more about applying these concepts in real life. This is more clear when it comes to the R2012 syllabus of IT. You can look at the coursework of CS at cs.annauniv.edu and coursework of IT at auist.net.



With regards to the jobs, 95% of the companies that come to the campus do not openly discriminate between CS and IT. There have been occasional accusations that companies prefer CS but I have never experienced anything of that sort.

IIIT Hyderabad(Its a Public-Private Institute)



Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology



BIT Mesra



LNMIIT, Jaipur



VIT University



Im ending the list at top 6 for private because it is useless studying CSE in any other college than the ones listed above.



P.S I dont consider IT companies for placements. You can get into these IT jobs even without a Engineering Degree.



P.S IIIT Hyderabad and Delhi are HARDCORE engineering which will bring out the best in you.



This is my personal opinion, I do not intend to defame any institute or firm.



Cheers!!!

CSE(Computer Science & Engineering) and IT (Information technology) both are quite similar in some or the other manner. I always have come across students who are confused between these two fields because of the lack of the understanding of the minute differences and similarities between the two engineering streams.

Subsequently, aspirants should also be aware about their own interest/s and in which area would they like to make their career in? Or which one do they think will ensure a better future for them?

Considering these points, lets discuss the difference between both these engineering fields:

Main Difference :

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.

On the other hand, IT is just the selection of the proper software or hardware for the task.
