Hey Sunita Janeja,

CSE and IT both are quite similar & have great scope.



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.



Information Technology deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to store, protect process, transmit and securely retrieve data.

Dear Sunita

The CS engineering programme usually deals with how to build micro processors, how to write a compiler etc. IT is the business side of computers - usually dealing with databases, business, and accounting. One way to think of it is that IT deals with the application of computing technology to real life processes and CSE deals with the science that facilitates these applications.



Further, while CSE focuses on the foundation of computing, IT as a discipline focuses on satisfying the computing technology needs of organisations. So, in a continuum between principles and application, IT focuses more on application, with the goal being to apply knowledge of computing sciences for solving problems. However, as the foundations of IT are in Computer Science, Indian universities and colleges deem it feasible to have a CS-based IT programme. This allows a graduate of the programme to choose a career in CS or IT, based on their choice and availability of job prospects. And mostly corporates make little difference between these disciplines while selecting students.



The final verdict:

If you have to choose between IT and CSE and have both options in hand, it would be wise to decide it on the basis of the reputation and standing of the college rather than the branch. If you have to choose between IT and CSE in the same college, see what excites you more, design of computers and computing systems or using computers to solve information management requirements of organisations. Choose wise decision.

All the best

Not a much difference in cs and it

Computer Science is creation of softwares and hardwares by using different programming skills.



IT is just the selection of the proper software or hardwares for the task



In other words CSE create the software and IT engineers use it to solve various problems.



According, to the latest trend CSE has more scope.



Good Luck!!
