Hi Joy,
Computer Science is the study of computers and computational systems. Computer scientists deal mostly with software and software systems; this includes their theory, design, development, and application.
Principal areas of study within Computer Science include artificial intelligence, computer systems and networks, security, database systems, human computer interaction, vision and graphics, numerical analysis, programming languages, software engineering, bioinformatics and theories of computing. Computer scientists design and analyze algorithms to solve programs and study the performance of computer hardware and software.
Many people incorrectly believe that a computer science career is all about programming. While it is true that most entry-level jobs after a Bachelor's degree involve programming, most practitioners eventually graduate to other responsibilities such as design, coordination, testing, planning and management. With advanced coursework and a Master's degree, you can work in an area of specialization that uses your advanced coursework.

I'll give you some data after that you can decide which one is better. Let us compare Harvard University USA and IIM Ahmedabad. Both are in the rank one position in their respective countries.
Fees
The minimum amount to do MBA from Harvard is around RS 60-70Lakhs and from IIM it is around Rs 20-30Lakhs including all fees and stay.
Placement
The average package of Harvard is Rs 76lakhs and IIM is Rs 26lakhs. Some few will get international placement form IIM where the salary will be very high. But the probability of International placement of IIM is very low as compared to Harvard.
Also,the global exposure of Harvard or any other US universities is 50 times more than Indian Universities. So if you are good with the fees definitely go for Harvard or any best US universities but if you are not ok with the fees you can do your MBA from India. Both provides quality education only. The difference is their placement and global exposure.

Hi Rahul,
JEE Main Paper 2 is conducted for admissions to B.Arch/B.Planning courses at NITs, and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions. JEE Mains paper 2 is based on both drawing and maths skills , it has a math section (level is same as the jee mains paper 1) and a sketching and 3D interpretation section. The rank you obtain in paper 2 is independent of the paper 1 rank. The exam, like the paper 1 is conducted by CBSE and helps you secure an admission in SPAs ( School of Planning and Architecture) and the B.Arch courses in NITs. ( SPA Delhi is considered the best in the country).
NATA is a compulsory Exam conducted by the Council of Architecture and most of the institutes /colleges accept only NATA scores. NATA is a test which only tests drawing and 3D interpretation skills and even students from humanities or commerce background can answer the exam.The exam does not test mathematics or science knowledge. The exam is conducted by the Architecture's Association and it helps you secure admission recognized by them and you need to apply to different institutes independently with the NATA scores. CEPT in Ahmadabad is one of the good college which accepts NATA scores.
