The 'better' course depends on various factors. Some of the core differences between the two are covered below:

BSc Computer Science: A 3-year UG academic degree in Computer Science. Usually preferred to get into research & academia. Though one can also work in roles like developer, analyst, or engineer after this course if they have a relevant skillset.  Though the curriculum has both theory & lab work included, it is still more of a theory-driven course focused on CS fundamentals. BSc CS has a shorter duration, an easier entry, and an affordable cost.

BTech CSE: By the name, a 4-year tech degree. Comparatively more advanced & application-based approach. Probably the most preferred for tech roles (ofcourse if you have the skills). Extensive labs works in the curriculum. The fee structures are usually high with highly competitive entry in top colleges. A bit more acceptable by foreign companies & universities for pursuing a Master's.

One should preferably have some skills in order to make the most out of their BSc CS degree. Find them listed below

• Keen interest in Computer Science
• Basic Computer Applications
• A hold of top Programming Languages
• Data Analysis
• Problem-solving ability
• Logical Reasoning
• Numerical Ability
