Hi,
May I know you prefer more to calculation (logic) or more to theoretical?
If you were interested in computing better off and pay a visit to APIIT since their institution offered the subject almost pure in IT but they didn't offered computer science course. Last time when I study computer engineering at TARC, I love the lecturer because they willing to help but I surprise that my programming lecturer cannot solve the error in my Java Programming. Everything is normal just the facilities is a little bit outdated and the syllabus you going to learn is not updated.
APIIT is IT-heavy, but doesn't have CS IIRC.
You mention outdated syllabus - at TARC or APIIT? CS syllabus has not changed much in the last few decades.

calculation and theoretical mean by ?
can give some example ? sorry for the noob question i feel to going some edu fair but its all located on tuesday wendnesday ><!
or am i too early to get this information from now ??
There is both calculation and theoretical stuff in CS.
CS is a very wide field, but roughly speaking =
1. Deals with what problems computers can and cannot solve. Some problems can't be solved ("will my program terminate?") or can't be solved fast even if you have the world's fastest computer or even a quantum computer crunching the numbers (computability theory, algorithm analysis etc)
2. Deals with the engineering of software: OO-analysis, formal specification and verification, re-usability, static program analysis etc (software engineering).
3. Other stuff like security (number theory etc), graphic and visualization (matrix math) etc...
CE is more of a mix of electrical + electronic engineering stuff that focuses on computer systems.
