Computer science and Information Technology (CSIT) is one of the most popular courses in engineering. It is the dream of every student to take up either computer science or IT in their engineering and it is all the more advantageous as this program has the benefits of both fields.

Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT)
Computer science is more about computer applications, operating systems, software development, coding, programming, systems engineering and web development. Computer scientists understand the how and why of computers. On the other hand, information technology is more about the applications of computer science and engineering. An IT professional is more into technology development. They are into fields such as information security, network engineering, database managing and caring for the day-to-day maintenance of the network, LANs, communication systems, etc. During the engineering course, you are provided with the opportunity of doing an internship at a relevant industry or IT concern.

Career Opportunities
A bachelor's degree in this field of engineering lands you the most lucrative of jobs. Based on your area of interest you can opt for a purely computer science-based job in any of the software companies or may go for an IT job in the vast expanding IT sector. You also have the opportunity to go for a post-graduate degree course in India or abroad.
