Computer science the study of automating algorithmic processes that scale. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems. IT degree has a major focus on computers and technology, it differs from a computer science degree in that students are also expected to study management and information science, and there are reduced requirements for mathematics and theory of computation. Software engineering (SE) deals with building and maintaining software systems. It is more applied than computer science, placing greater emphasis on the entire software development process, from idea to final product. It is also more disciplined than computer science, applying more systematic practices to help ensure that products are reliable and safe. There is only a subtle difference between CSE, IT and SE. IT Industry accepts all three to start a career as a software developer.
