Well, not really. According to HR leaders of IT /ITeS or E commerce and technology space, newer areas which are coming up in Computer Sciences will witness a rise in demands for Computer Science. The skill sets and specialisations of a CS engineer may change with AI/AR or ML / Data Science but demand will remain if not grow, in Computer Science. 

Rather core engineering and allied streams are predicted to get a boost due to the developments around computer sciences. For example robotics engineering may see a rise in demands for mechanical engineers along with computer science engineers or Information Technology (IT) engineering. 

While CS will see opportunities not just in software companies but in manufacturing, bioinformatics and various other sectors too both in the private and government sector.

Due to covid pandemic situations most of the entrance exams are cancelled and colleges are either considering admissions on the basis of academic scores of 10th and 12 th class.
