The six major fields (domains) in which IT professionals work are:-

Hardware & Networking

This includes the physical elements of the computer system and deals with the designing, manufacturing and maintenance of computers. This area also includes the assembling of the manufactured components of the computers and installing & integrating the computer systems through Networks for efficient utilization. Hardware & Networking are two separate disciplines having some common subject / understanding.

Software Engineering & Development

This includes the set of instructions by which a computer is programmed for working and performing the specified tasks. This realm includes the work of designing the programs for various purposes. Programs may be for controlling the functioning of the computers or they may also be some user-friendly programs for specific needs. The programs may also come in the form of packages, which are designed for specific needs, or meeting the different kinds of requirements for large number of people. Custom made programs & solutions for special applications are also needed on a huge scale.

Services & Application Support

Systems integration & applications management; Networking & data base management; installation & maintenance of software applications etc. are some of the support & services rendered.

Business Development & Customer Relationship Mgt. (CRM)

In IT, these are akin to the Sales & Marketing activities. As Software solution providing is essentially a consulting discipline the marketing is highly technical & termed Business Development.

Research and Development

It involves designing of chips and circuits, computer architecture and integration of peripherals. It also includes improvement and upgrading of the existing systems, software & applications.

I.T. Infrastructure Management

Managers ensure that the development and operations work goes on smoothly. They look after the allocation of resources and planning. Qualifications (like BCA/MCA/B. Tech (CS or IT)/MBA-IT) are much sought after in this segment.

Scope/Career Prospects: After completion of B.Tech Information Technology, students can opt for higher studies like M.Tech/MS in various specializations. IT sector is one of the most significant sectors today that is growing rapidly. The career scope for IT professionals is comprehensive.
