Information Technology

Originally Answered: What is the difference between a B.Tech in CSE and one in IT? Why is CSE preferred over IT?
The syllabus is, of course, the major difference between CSE and IT. Some core subjects like Data Structures, DBMS, Algorithms remain common in both the branches but while IT is about software and information, CSE, on the other hand, has a different scope as it is also about hardware working. Let me show it with some subjects in our university. First one is for CSE while the other one is for IT
Microprocessors/ Information Theory and Coding
Computer Graphics/ Multimedia and animation
Computer organisation/ Management of Information Systems
This might give you a little idea about the difference but this may vary across many universities and some times the line is very thin. One reason to prefer CSE is that it would benefit you if you plan to sit for GATE. In IT you miss some really important subjects. Subjects like computer organisation and microprocessors are very important for exams of isro and other psu too. These subjects are not in syllabus of IT.
