Greetings of the day

Both B.Sc. computer science and BTech computer science are good degree programmes. But the BTech is considered to be more relevant among engineering or computer science courses .

However both these courses have an wide range of career opportunities.


B.Sc Computer Science is a 3-year undergraduate degree. The curriculum of this degree majorly focuses on the basic concepts of computer science. Major topics include Disk Operating Systems, Control Structures and Programming Concepts. This course teaches one about computer applications but it doesn't cover coding in detail whereas B.Tech Computer Science is all about coding


B.Tech Computer Science

B. Tech Computer Science is a 4-year undergraduate professional course. This involves studying computer science in more depth as compared to B.Sc Computer Science. The concepts of hardware, software and applications- all fall under this course. In India, B.Tech Computer Science was one of the first courses offered in the field of computer science. Major topics in this course include Data Structures, Operating Systems, Computer Architecture, Database Management Systems and Digital Circuits & System.


B.Sc Computer Science Career Opportunities

Computer Science is not only one of the most lucrative career options but also requires a lot of analytical skills, and students pursuing it are respected for the same. There are numerous jobs in the field of computer science available for students who have pursued B.Sc Computer Science. Some of them are:


Database Administrator: The profile includes planning of capacity, configuring systems, designing databases, monitoring performances and recovering data. A person who has a passion for problem-solving would do really good in this field. The minimum salary for this job profile ranges between Rs.3 lakhs- 4 lakh per annum.

Games Developer: A games developer specialises in the development of video games and is well aware of all the processes and disciplines pertaining to the video games creation. Passion for art and animation will work here. The basic salary for a fresher is roughly Rs. 2 lakh per annum.

Information Systems Manager: The profile includes implementing IT in the organisation and managing a team of IT professionals. They are mainly responsible for directing and planning activities. A person must have basic managerial skills in order to excel in the field of Information Systems Management. The initial salary is between Rs.1 lakh-2 lakh.

IT consultant: IT consultants take care of all the consulting activities in the organisation. Computer consulting, business and technology consulting, all form a part of it. The starting salary can be Rs.4 lakh.

Web Designer: This profile is all about performing high applications, working on the interface- front end and back end. The starting salary for a web designer is Rs.1.5 lakh.


B.Tech Computer Science Career Opportunities

As a computer engineer, a person can make various choices in both private and public sectors. Depending upon the skill set, the person can choose any of the following job profiles:


Software Engineering: This job involves a lot of coding and programming. The principles of software engineering are applied to design, develop and maintain computer programming. The starting salary is roughly Rs.3 lakh per annum.

Banking Jobs: Clients databases can be maintained and software can be built. The starting salary is roughly Rs.1 lakh per annum.

Mobile Application Developer: People skilled in Java, C, C++ often take up this job. The starting salary in this field is around Rs.2 lakh per annum

Good luck

Dear Student,

B.Sc. Computer Science is 3 years graduation programme while BTech is 4 years of graduation course after which you will get an Engineer's Degree. BSc CS will teach you all about computer and its applications. But, if you have much interest in coding and programming softwares and other applications, you should go for B.Tech. CSE.

Also, if you wish to go for a government job then you can pursue BSc Computer science else to get a placed in a tech-giant company, you should go for BTech computer science.

B.Sc. CS needs a solid Physics & Math Background, and a little tough. B.Tech also needs Solid Physics, Chemistry, and Math Background, and this is a tough course, needs focused learning and support. But it becomes easy, if you have true interest in it.

Happy Learning!
