B.Sc. Computer Science and B.Tech Computer Science - Which is better?
Degree doesn’t matter in the era in which we are living. Dedication matters a lot. But candidates at times may find it difficult to decide between the two courses: B.Sc Computer Science and B.Tech Computer Science. Pursuing any of the two guarantees a good career path forthe students. Both vary on a lot of factors and are similar on a few others.
The difference is in degree, not in skills. Skills matters on your wills. The more you have the will power to learn, the more you can earn too.
B.Sc in CS / IT
B.Sc Computer Science is a 3-year undergraduate degree. The curriculum of this degree majorly focuses on the basic concepts of computer science. Major topics include Disk Operating Systems, Control Structures and Programming Concepts. This course teaches one about computer applications but it doesn't cover coding in detail whereas B.Tech Computer Science is all about coding.
B.Sc Computer Science Subjects
The following subjects are taught in B.Sc Computer Science:
Programming Fundamentals Using C++: C++ is the most basic programming language taught in Engineering
Computer System Architecture
Data Structures
Theory of Computation
Internet Technologies
Computer Graphic
Computer Organization
Digital Electronics
Database Management Systems
B.Tech Computer Science
B. Tech Computer Science is a 4-year undergraduate professional course. This involves studying computer science in more depth as compared to B.Sc Computer Science. The concepts of hardware, software and applications- all fall under this course. In India, B.Tech Computer Science was one of the first courses offered in the field of computer science. Major topics in this course include Data Structures, Operating Systems, Computer Architecture, Database Management Systems and Digital Circuits & System.
B.Tech Computer Science Subjects
B.Tech Computer Science includes the following steps:
Programming Fundamentals Using C , C++ and Java
Data Structures and Algorithms
Computer Organisation and Architecture
Web Technologies
Applied Chemistry
Multimedia Technologies
Applied Mathematics
Applied Physics
Algorithm Analysis & Design
Management Systems
Database Management Systems
Computer Networks
Artificial Intelligence
Machine Learning
Cyber Security
Data Mining

In the Indian Software Industry, to be eligible for BTech career opportunities you need to do a Master's degree (MSc / MCA). To appear for the GATE exam as well you need to complete MSc or MCA. But BTech candidates are eligible to sit for the GATE exam directly. So, prepare your career choice accordingly after your 12th board exam. All the best!
