Information Science Engineering (ISE) and Computer Science Engineering are having thin line in between. Most of the subjects studied by computer science graduate and information science graduate are same up to the final year. ISE students get to learn more of computer applications to study, store, transmit, retrieve, and manipulate the information. Based on the technologies on which they work, some companies prefer computer science graduates and few other companies prefer information science engineering.
