Software Engineering

Hello,
Software Engineering is a 4-year course.
To be able to become a software engineer, you need to have PCM (physics, chemistry and mathematics) combination in your class 12th. After your class 12th board examinations are over, you need to appear for various entrance examinations.
I would suggest, you should appear for IIT-JEE and AIEEE. These two entrance examinations provide admissions in IITs/ NITs and other government colleges, which are cost-effective.
I would also suggest, you should 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 counselling procedure for the respective entrance examination. During the counselling procedure, you can select a college of your choice and the branch of engineering which you wish to opt for (depending on availability). Here you can choose software engineering, computer engineering or information technology. All the three branches mentioned have more or less the same syllabus.

In private sectors one can initially earn a salary ranging from Rs. 8000 to Rs.15000 per month and the salary increases up to Rs.8,00,0000 per annum with an experience of 3-4 years.
Private sectors offer an attractive salary when compared to the public sector. In India students who pass out from a reputed IT institutes can expect a direct placement in good firms with pleasing salary packages.

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.

Hello,
To be an engineer, you need to have science with PCM (physics, chemistry, mathematics) background. So unfortunately, in your case, you're not eligible to be a software engineer.
However, If you had mathematics and computer as your subjects in 12th board examination, you can get for BCA (Bachelors in Computer Application), which is a 3 years course, followed by MCA (Masters in computer application) which is also a 3 years course. In case, you didn't have mathematics as a subject in 12th, then you can learn a course of your interest from reputed computer coaching institutes like NIITs etc.
