Computer Engineer

Hello Sajid,
To be able to become a software engineer, you need to have PCM (physics, chemistry and mathematics) combination in your 12th standard. After you 12th board examinations are over, you need to appear for various entrance examinations.
I would suggest you to appear for IIT-JEE and AIEEE. These two entrance examinations provide admissions to IITs/ NITs and other government colleges, which are cost-effective.
I would also suggest you to appear for individual state examinations (OJEE in Odisha, EAMCET in Andhra Pradesh/Telangana, COMEDK in Karnataka, etc.). These exams also guarantee you good colleges and serve as a backup in case things don't end up the way you've planned for IIT/ AIEEE.
Every state has its own share of good engineering colleges. So, don't underestimate or overlook them. They can prove to be vital. The more the entrance examinations you appear for, the more the options you will have for choosing colleges.
Certain private colleges like SRM, KIIT (Odisha), GITAM (Vishakhapatnam) and ITER (Odisha) conduct their own entrance examinations. You can opt for these as well.
After the results of those entrance examinations are announced, if you have a valid score and rank, you can attend the counseling procedure for the respective entrance examination. During the counseling procedure, you can select a college of your choice and the branch of engineering you wish to opt for (depending on availability). Here you can choose software engineering or computer engineering or information technology. All the three courses mentioned have more or less the same syllabus.
I hope it helps. If so, kindly, upvote this answer. If you've any further questions, kindly revert.

Hello Shubham,
After diploma in computer science, it is better to study B.Tech or B.E. because diploma is not engineering. To increase job opportunity and scope, you should complete your graduation in engineering.
After diploma in computer science, you will also get a job. You also may join in software company like TCS, WIPRO, INFOSYS and many more. But your salary will be less as you have only diploma degree. Your opportunity will be also less.
So, try to first complete your graduation and then try for a better job. Or, go for further higher study. You may take lateral entry directly in second year of B.Tech if you wish after your diploma.

Hello,
Computer science engineering, equally covers both hardware and software aspects. Information technology engineering and software engineering has a lesser focus on the hardware aspect. However, this difference hardly matters as universities frequently keep updating the syllabus for each branch.
Unless and until, you get a job in a hardware manufacturing company like Intel, Logitech, etc. this little difference in the syllabus hardly matters. Most of the jobs offered is in the software domain. If you opt for information technology engineering, you can become a software engineer. If you opt for computer science engineering, you can become a computer engineer, which covers both hardware and software.
So, there is no need to compare the little differences between the branches. You can get admission in a good college in any of these branches. You should keep a percentage of over 70% without any backlogs.
All the best.

Hi,
At this moment, it is good. With lot of new technologies coming in like cloud and Big data (not wholly new, but relatively new at least in the Indian space), there is some growth that is deemed to be possible until at least the next 5-10 years. This duration should be good enough to establish oneself firm footed.
Also, another mandate is the operation of Indian IT industry of late in the mode of "survival of the fittest". So, one should constantly be on their toes to keep up with the dynamic nature of this work space.
