Hello Kshama,

Yes why not , you can sit for CSE placements . CSE is computer science engineering and CST is computer science and technology. Both are almost same CST may be a little more software oriented ,however, the name of these courses does not make any difference in their content/syllabus . Ultimately its computer science and the target companies are going to be the same.Moreover , irrespective of the branch you take, it is your knowledge, skills and passion towards the field that will bring opportunities , if you are good at what you do , then placements won't be that big a deal,because anyway you will end up in a good job and company . The field by itself is has the highest demand and supply in terms of employment.

Hope it helps
