Hello,

Computer science and Information technology are two different subjects despite having many similarities.


Field of work
Computer Science Engineering deals with the design and development of computer components. IT is the branch of Engineering that deals with the application of computers in businesses.

The main difference between CSE and IT engineering course

Computer science engineers (CSE) are involved in many computing perspectives, from the design of microprocessors, PCs, supercomputers to circuit designing and writing programs that power them.

Information Technology (IT) involves using computers and software to save, preserve the process, transmit, and securely recover data. IT professionals deliver various tasks that range from installing applications to designing complex computer networks and information databases.

I am providing a table below that will make you more clear:
