Hey Suraj

The difference between information systems and information technology is that the first focuses on the need to know systems and analysis, and it is the process of planning or converting systems in various forms, whether computer or ordinary or administrative information and systems that are easy to deal with, Which is established as a financial reporting, and find answers to questions and visions of the future, and the information technology focuses on technology, and the technical use of the results of the analysis of the information organizer and applied to the available hands of technology Or technical matters.

A degree in information systems often includes courses in:
  • Information Theory
  • Foundations of Management
  • Social Science
  • Information Technology
Careers in information systems can include a variety of fields, such as actuarial sciences, analytics and programming, communications, computer security and auditing.
Degree programs in information technology typically include courses in:
  • Mathematics
  • Database Design
  • Computer Science and Forensics
  • Programming Languages
Information systems and information technology are growing fields that offer a variety of job options and long-term professional growth.
Talking about placement as per my view you'll easily get placed in IT sector for now as it is in the trend while you may face some problem for IS so have a wise decision for your career.
All the best!
