What is CSE?

Many people think CSE and IT are one and the same, but its not. Read further to understand that. Computer science engineering is a course that deals with the study of computer programming and core level behavior of software, programming languages and other concepts of programming. CSE engineers are high-level programmers. They understand how an operating system behaves from its core to how it is represented on the user level.  Many subjects are in common for CSE and IT (Thanks to JNTU) but in reality they have a beeline separator always.

Complexity: Lower Medium difficult

Choosing a college: Fortunately, everyone owns a computer and that’s all you need to understand them. And adding to that, every college has enough resources for this course. All you need to look at is for the faculty, is the college subscribed to any advanced training programs (eg: KMIT is linked up with adobe and google programs) etc. Also look at previous placement track. If you don’t get placed when in college, it is not so easy when you come out of college.

Higher Education: Well, who would say higher education is bad? However, as per trends, if you do higher education in India you might probably end up again sitting with B.tech fresher for training and the job. There might be hardly any difference in your pay. You got to think of IITs and other top colleges if you want to go for higher education. Going abroad is a very open option and many exercise it.

Job Opportunities: Unfortunately, if you don’t find a job when in college (campus placements) don’t blame anyone if you don’t find a job after that. Sorry but this is a fact. Every department is eligible to apply for software jobs. All you need is a B.Tech. CSE students have not shown trends where they explore opportunities out of software though some prefer getting into government jobs at times.

Will you enjoy this course? Yes you should. After all, this entire course is fun.  End of your b.tech you don’t need to be surprised if you have a million friends from different colleges. You can keep on attending events and seminars outside your college. If you are a techie freak, start writing some decent software when in college and who knows, you might become a Mark Zukerburg overnight.
