Both IT and CSE are good. Its up to you to decide which subject you want to pursue, based on your interest.
IT is more of a professional track course. You are taught about systems and their functioning on a need-to-know basis. You are taught regarding the basic applications of a technology. It makes you an expert at the surface level of the tech, which will aide you to develop skills required at the industrial level. A good example would be a Network Administrator. You need to know about Networking and some basic hardware and software rules. IT can teach you what you need to know about their functionalities.

Computer Science and Engineering on the other hand, is dedicated to both professional and research tracks. A Computer Engineer is someone who would have in depth knowledge about the Hardware systems as well as the Software systems. Although, Computer Engineers are often categorized with electrical Engineers. As they are both dedicated to expertise in the Hardware division while having above average knowledge on theoretical or software division of computers. You will observe that most universities have a common department for CS and EE. E.g. EECS in MIT.
Career Scope:
CSE - Job openings for Software professionals is more in the corporate sector than in the public sector. Professionals can join as junior programmer, database administrator, junior network manager, Data Analyst, Software Developer, Software Engineer, and Client-Server Systems Manager etc. in the initial stage. Students have job opportunities at organizations like IBM, Intel, HP, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, CTS and Dell in India and abroad.
IT - IT Specialists are required in almost all range of employment fields such as finance, arts, medicine, defense, and other areas. Some of the leading IT companies are Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Accenture, HCL Infotech, IBM, etc. These professionals can get jobs in many public sector firms. Some of the leading public sector firms are BSNL, ISRO, CDIT, CDAC, etc.
Students who have completed their bachelor degree in Computer Science or in Information technology go for higher specialization in the related area. There are various colleges in India. There are various masters courses offered by various colleges such as-
Masters in Technology
Masters in Engineering
Masters in Science
Masters in Business Administrations
M.Phil
Ph.D
M.Phil and PhD also await professionals in Computer Science and Information Technology.

Hello Bedanta,
As far as the distinction between CSE and IT is concerned, you may opt for the one of your choice. CSE will be teaching you about software and programming. IT is more on the surface level. All the best.

CSE is a better option. B.Tech from a good engineering colleges like IIT, NIT, BITS or IIIT will give you a good exposure to the fields of computer science. This field includes various programming languages, which are missing in IT.
Most of the engineering graduates getting hefty packages after engineering are CSE students. Even top IT companies like Wipro, TCS or Infosys offers good job offers to CSE students. So, CSE is better than IT.

CSE has maximum scope among the four. This field is in demand these days and has a lot of opportunities as well. The job opportunities are available for the graduates in government as well as private sector. If you want to go for computer science engineering, you can get a decent salary packages.
Computer science has a very wide scope. Indian IT companies such as Wipro, Infosys, TCS, HCL, etc. have been able to garner gains even during the recession and have hired a number of computer professionals. Even the MNCs look for good computer engineers from India.
The graduates may take up following jobs:
1. Software engineer.
