CS and IT are almost equal in terms of software programming subjects. Look at the syllabus before deciding.

Do you like electric work or electronics work ? Both are different areas.

What's the actual difference between cs and it in terms of subjects and future scope. Why people say "IT has no future scope".
I am currently studying in IT 3rd year.

Care to look at the syllabus and see what's the difference ?

Who says IT has no future ? If you are a good programmer, you have a good future.

Doesn't seem much difference in syllabus except few IT subjects such as IT infrastructure.

There you have the answer. Get better at programming. Pick a language and start developing on your ideas.

You have interest in Coding, Programming and testing . First find out you have interest to online learn coding , programming or actually implementing it .
Who says IT has no scope?
If your are good You have scope .

You should choose computer engineering or electronics Stream.
I think it is suitable for you.
