- I don't know about India, but generally: computer science is focused on the study of the software (programming, computer languages, etc...), and computer engineering is focused on the study of the hardware (computer physical parts)
- Computer science deals with subjects related to computers, e.g mathematical background, languages and algoriths for programming, hardware/software of computer application packages etc,
Informatioin science, on the other hand, deals with information or datastructures, processing, data transmission via satellite/ mobile phones or in other mode, storage/ retieval etc. Computer is only a part of information science.
- Perhaps it is different in India than USA, but in USA information science is a watered down version of computer science. Information science is less mathematical / more business like.
