Which one is better: CSE or IT? What should I choose from these two?

I am a 12th pass student who wants to join engineering, but I always face this problem. As cutoff for IT is always less than that of CS, a student finds it difficult to choose the right one between them. Also, 80% of the syllabus remains same in both the cases but recruitment differs by a margin.

Subjects are almost equal and at the end, after the end, you will eventually end up cooking software [not necess

Countries like Germany and Norway are excellent options. Because public universities there charge little to no tuition fees.  The cost of living and education is significantly lower compared to the USA or UK. You must factor in living expenses and language requirements.
