Hello aspirant,


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.

In simple words, 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.

There are abundant job opportunities in both the fields. For Computer science and engineering the options are junior programmer, database administrator, junior network manager, Data Analyst etc and for Information technology the jobs are IT Coordinator, System Analyst, Applications Developer, IT Technical, Content Developer etc. IT professionals are required in almost all fields like commerce, hospitals, finance, labs etc.
