Hello Rushi,
Let me first discuss the technical differences:
CS takes a more balanced approach between theory and application while IT focuses more on application
CS offers you an opportunity to learn variety of topics related to computers. IT offers you an opportunity to discovers innovative uses of those fundamental concepts.
CS generally require a decent background in math while use of math in IT is limited to data analysis / processing / statistics, etc
You may call IT as one of the sub-divisions of CS, however there are certain things that are unique to IT like integrated programming, system administrations, maintenance, etc.

Syllabus of computer science and IT overlap between 80% to 90% in various universities. CS 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. IT engineering is application of CS for enterprises to meet business goals. CS graduates can easily do both application and systems development whereas as IT engineers are trained to work on application development. Indian IT industry prefers CS graduates over IT because CS is branch taken by toppers in all engineering entrance examinations. -
If you are interested in developing, you can go for CSE. But, if you want to learn how to use big software such as Auto Cad, you should go for IT.
