Hello student,

There is nothing like one is good and one is bad between CSE or CSE with specialization . In fact, if you want one line answer of this question then I will say that the better one CSE is that which have got your interest and attention.

Let me explain it to you. See, normal CSE deals with all the aspects which are related to computer science and engineering, whereas CSE with specialization involves mostly your specialization . For example, if choose CSE with Artificial Intelligence then the major focus will be to make you excellent in Information AI areas whereas, Normal CSE is a comprehensive course in computer applications and system. Generally it involves with designing and developing computer software/applications and hardware processes. If a student opt for this course, he/she will be able to understand, learn and use various programming languages, networking and telecommunications, digital and analog electronics, etc.

But there is a catch, with normal CSE too, you can study that specialization technology too being in normal CSE and there are lot of supplements available for you on Internet to help you, not only this many colleges nowadays are giving options for AI, ML when a student enters in 5th semester.

Placement wise too there is n ot too much difference but a very slight difference as of now. In some cases, you might be getting the benefit of taking Computer Science with specialization . For example, a company whose major work is based on AI & ML then for the obvious reason they will first give priority to the guy who has done CSE with AI & ML as a specialization. But remember that, specialization makes you confined too because there are not a large number of companies that are based on your specialization, so in this case, Normal CSE has an edge, as there are bulk of companies for them, though most of them allow to sit the specializations students, too but few of them might not allow sitting.

Now coming back to you one another question, which is what are the subjects in these CSE specializations then below I am mentioning the subjects.

CSE with Big Data Subjects:-

• Engineering mathematics
• Statistics
• Operating System
• Programming
• IT systems
• Internet technology
• Information security
• Data structures
• Data mining
• Data warehousing
• Data analytics
• Hadoop administration
• Communication skills
• Project work

CSE with AI&ML Subjects:-

Now in this you will have almost same subjects but AI and ML will be there. There is no specific names of subjects in AI and ML, these itself are the topics.

I hope this analysis clear your doubts.

Feel free to connect in comment section if having any doubts.

Thank you!
