Go for CSE, much better than IT..
I believe IT isnt even a core subject

But One Advisor Told Me This

IT is more general--you would be exposed to networking, system administration, and programming/databases. CS is usually just programming and a lot of math.

Go for CSE. IT is almost same subjects in 8 sems, but CSE people get preferences as they tend to have better rank and are also eligible in a few places where IT isn't allowed.

Core/Non Core isn't really a classification which concern recruiters. They take according to your dept./specialization.

Although IT in a better college should be preferred over CSE in a not so good college.

^^ You'll have to go through programming whether it is CSE or IT.
Both of them are mostly similar except that in IT you would need to study some management stuff too.
For your second question mitraark has already answered. If you're getting IT in a college which is much better than the college where you can get CSE, then go for IT, otherwise stick to CSE.

Mine was CSE and now there are lots of IT firms and plenty of opportunities. So go for Computer Science and Engg.
