It is suggested that you have knowledge about computers, its working and its functions. It is preferred that you do your udergraduation from a computer related branch however, if you do not get IT or CS you can do your B.Tech from any other branch available, but doing your B.Tech in IT or CS will make your portfolio more desirable for the hiring committee.I hope this answers your question.
