IT deals with the use of computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and retrieve information.
The difference between Computer Science and IT is that while CSE deals with the design and development of new software and hardware parts of computer, IT aims at designing, developing, implementing and managing computer-based information systems including software applications and computer hardware. When computer and communications technologies are combined, the result is Information Technology, or ‘InfoTech’.
