@rite dude i know "that" college isn't in the top 100 but trust me it does have the potential to get there, and you will know that once you see it and the faculty.This is just it's second year so definately it isn't in the top 100 list.Anyways as long as i am happy with the institute i don't think anyone else's opinion matters to me.
Back at the topic, chuck the institute but if i get I.T. i should take it right??
First of all, I would recommend that you take rite's post's with a pinch of salt or even better not take it seriously at all. Considering that is the infamous Techboi, he does not know what he is talking about.
As long as the college is recognized and affiliated to a good university (Thats where you get the degree from), its all fine, Don't join any college with the expectation that it will have good faculty or that you will be taught everything. You are on your own once you join B.Tech (especially if its CS, IT or even EC)
Secondly, the difference between IT and CS groups is subject to the university offering the degree. There will be minor differences in the curriculum in places where both degrees are offered, but for the most part, its the same thing. In the university where I got my degree, difference between the two groups was mainly from the third year and only a small bit in the second year. While CS has more core subjects like Electrical and Electronics, Digital Logic, Microprocessor programming, Principles of programming languages, Compiler design, Neural Networks and Image Processing etc, the IT group had more industry oriented subjects and programming stuff. Their subjects were like, COBOL and a bit of mainframes, ERP, Advanced databases, Java Programming and the like. In the end it does not make too much of a difference. If you are interested in the subject, you are going to learn stuff anyway.
Just for the record, I have a B.Tech (CS) and M.Tech (IT) (Specialization in Intelligent Systems). My M.Tech classmates were a mix of B.Tech's belonging to CS, IT and EC groups. The same holds true for the other M.Tech (IT) specialization in Wireless Communications at our college which had a mix of B.Tech's in EC, CS and IT.
