    The difference between CS and IT varies from college to college so this answer may not be applicable everywhere. One can go on and on about the minute differences in the syllabi but the final conclusion I mostly get is this: CS is mostly about understanding the inner workings and concepts behind programming and computers whereas IT is more about applying these concepts in real life. With regards to the jobs, 95% of the companies that come to the campus do not openly discriminate between CS and IT.
