Hi, The technical differences in both are: CS takes a more balanced approach between theory and application while IT focuses more on application. CS offers you an opportunity to learn variety of topics related to computers while IT offers you an opportunity to discovers innovative uses of those fundamental concepts. CS generally require a decent background in math while use of math in IT is limited to data analysis / processing / statistics, etc. You may call IT as one of the sub-divisions of CS however there are certain things that are unique to IT like integrated programming, system administrations, maintenance, etc. There are some similarities too None of them involves hardwares. You may have to take one or two courses on digital systems where you will study about ICs and logic gates. That's it. You won't learn how to repair computers in any of them. Most of the courses offered in both the branches are related to programming. You will have to programme on a daily basis in both the branches. The main issue at he hands is to pursue from a good reputed universities like IITs, NITs, BITs, VIT, MANIPAL, LPU, SRM etc. Thanks.

LPU is ranked among the top four Computer Applications Institutes of North India by NASSCOM. Students from all across India and 15 plus countries around the globe are expertly mentored by an experienced and proficient team of faculty members. PROJECTS: Students of MCA M.Sc. BCA and B.Sc. Work on live and entrepreneurial projects and show case their talent at various platforms. An event named Pre Project Expo is organized by the school annually where the students showcase their projects. ENTREPRENEURSHIP CELL: Student Entrepreneurship Cell at Lovely Professional University organized its 3rd annual Indian Entrepreneurship Congress (IE-Con) 2019, where top entrepreneurs stimulated thousands of LPU students including the students of School of Computer Application to Think Big, adopt entrepreneurial career and learn to convert their ideas into society needed sell-able products
ACHIEVEMENTS: School of Computer Applications participated in e-Yantra Lab Setup Initiative (eLSI) sponsored by MHRD under the National Mission on Education through ICT programme (An initiative by IIT Bombay that aims to create the next generation of embedded systems engineers with a practical outlook
LPU student Rohit Kumar has been enlisted in 'Facebook-Hall of Fame 2018 during a security conference 'BountyCon' organised jointly by Facebook and Google in Singapore in March, 2019. He is considered one of India's foremost ethical hackers
Representing India among 1,500+ competitors from 60 countries, our BCA student Shubham Singh has charmed us all by being one of the 19 Young Indian medalists at the prestigious World Skills 2019 competition held at Kazan, Russia. Shubham has bagged the coveted Medal of Excellence award in Cyber Security at this international competition making the entire nation proud! So maximum placements are being done for the students to the best of the ability. Such feats will boost you to study hard. The faculty too is very helpful. Still if you need extra guidance then remedial classes are there for your help. Though the potion of maths is minimum so you need not worry much. You can check details from the website of University. Good Luck.

Yes you can take admission in BCA in LPU but for that you need to meet the eligibility which is Pass with 50% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with English) or equivalent. I also came to know from the counsellor of LPU that LPU promotes following scholarship:

2. LPUNEST
3. Defence/Co-Curricular/Sports
4. COVID-19
5. National Level Test
6. Board Toppers
7. For Orphan students or person with certain disabilities
# From the above mentioned scholarships, candidate will get one that too which will be maximum one
The counsellor also mentioned that the programme is designed to build programming skills for developing efficient and resource optimized software/website/cloud/mobile applications with following outcomes as:
#Ability to analyze, interpret and present findings effectively using mathematical and communication skills. #Understand the fundamentals and applications of programming, data structures, databases, networking, mobile computing, information security and data analysis. #Amalgamate knowledge of information technology and computational tools for simulation. # Ability to effectively apply the computer Science concepts to analyze, design and develop cost effective, efficient and secure solutions to the societal problems. The counsellor highlighted the features and career prospects of course:
Salient Features
#Contemporary Curriculum
#Seminar and Project driven courses are designed to enhance technical and presentation skills
#Professional Enhancement
#Software Skills
#Industry Immersion
#Holistic Development
Career Prospects
