Answer 1

Thank you for your answer, Morpheus.

Answer 2

Thank you so much.

Answer 3

don't know about CIS, but I wont suggest CSE they teach a lot of things that is wastage of time in today's modularized world.

you will be taught everything from

Mathematics - graph theory, statistics, Discrete mathematics, permutation and combinations, and much more that I forgot

low level languages and stuffs - ASM, microcontrollers, Arm ,8086, Arduino, etc, computer organisation and architectures, logic design

high level languages- java, C#

you shall eat and sleep with Data structure and algorithms with C, C++

Database - data models, schema design , query, CRUD OPERATIONS, other high level operations like joins etc, SQL, NoSql

Now this is where It gets tricky

computational theory- highly abstract concepts figuring out which makes u a nerd

software engineering- boring 70s to 90s practices that doesn't make sense today

System software- not that tough but what's the use when u intend to be a web developer ( just a scenario)

network engineering- start strong with Data communication and computer networks or die later( and network engineering is so different stream in itself that u will be taking a separate course for that, then y bother in cse)

OS- at introductory or theory level it's ok, but in reality proper studying of os design takes months and years with coding,

and much more optional and elective courses junk that's not of any use when u specialize in a certain domain,

but they say degree matters !

this guy has a good reply to that
