Hi Amisha,
I don't know of any other discipline that makes you feel so much like a wizard. Even engineering doesn't really feel that way, because you actually have to do real work fitting things together and what not.
In contrast, when you program something, you're basically just muttering incantation

Hi Amisha,
My view is that what is and isn't "science", pure or applied, is determined by method. Pure science is characterized, broadly, by the scientific method. Different branches take it to different extents and in different directions, but they all share a similar core: theories based on observa

Hi Amisha,
Computer Science is the study of computation. It informs how we create software (ideally). Topics might be: Complexity, algorithms, models of computation, automation. It is arguably a branch of discrete mathematics, and builds upon set theory, logic, etc.

Hi Gunjan,
Getting into Computational fluid dynamics (either focusing on applications in industry or by doing research) might potentially help you combine both.

I think that chances for such an entry are not many , as they can not justify their outsourcing. It is better for you to plan your further education in the USA.
