If you are a computer science student and you are in early years of your undergradute course or in high school and aspire to make a career in the field of computers and technology, this question might arise in your mind. In this post we will try to bring some clarity for you.
Computer Science (CS): According to Edsger W Dijkstra, a renowned computer scientist "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.” The field of computer science is quite vast. It deals with creating, testing and analysing algorithms, data structures, digital circuits and microprocessors. This discipline mainly focuses on theory.
Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) : It deals with variety of topics viz programming, algorithms, software development and computer hardware. It is closely related to mathematics and electronic engineering. The main focus of this discipline is on the hardware side of things.
Information Technology (IT) / Computer Application : This discipline focuses on deploying Technology and computer science in business environment. Now-a-days IT specialist are in huge demand for administrating networking, maintaining databases, installing and implementing softwares and computer systems and training personals to use it.
In India, an engineering degree in CS, CSE and IT share almost the same curriculum and a person doing B.Tech in any of these branches can have a career interchange and most of the companies don't mind if you are applying for the post of IT officer and you have a degree in CS and vice versa.
