i've passed 12th. now i am confused between 2 courses for my higher education. They are b.sc(CS) and b.sc(IT). are they good options?

Hi Pallav, If you are planning to become an engineer or specifically software developer then I would suggest you not to opt these programs. These programs will provide you a long way to reach the destination. Say, for an example, if you go with B. Sc. IT then you would require M. Sc. IT and only then you will become an engineer or equivalent to an MCA or B Tech CSE. But there is one more problem that is the duration of M. Sc. IT, which is generally not 3 years and in the case of such programs (B. Sc. CS, B. Sc. IT, BCA, etc.) a 3 years post graduate degree would only be equivalent to B Tech. Now, in this way you will invest number of years and in many cases during employment application you would face problems, if you apply for the same post for which MCAs and B Techs are eligible. You must go for B Tech. If you are not in a mood to become an engineer but you want to get a job in this field then I don't think that there is any problem in opting these programs. IT orientation is more in B. Sc. IT and application based learning is more in B. Sc. CS. So it is upto you to decide a type of job you are willing to opt in future and then make your choice to opt a program. My view says, you should go for B. Sc. CS. Thanks, It helps or not? Tell me and revert to ask. Cheer-up.
