There are many students like you who are confused between IT and CSE. To understand in simple language Computer Science is the creation of software and hardware by using different programming skills. On the other hand, IT is just the selection of the proper software or hardware for the task. Both are rewarding career. CSE is the most demanding branch among students. An IT career involves installing, organizing and maintaining computer systems as well as designing and operating networks and databases. Computer science is focused entirely on efficiently programming computers using mathematical algorithms. Both of these careers have excellent growth potential and high salaries. Good Luck!!
