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You mention outdated syllabus - at TARC or APIIT?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.

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.

That's not true. CS is freakin' heavy on theoretical stuff - the calculation is there to help formalize the theory. Have you ever done algorithm subjects before?
I don't get the logic flow not managing flow part - explain pls.

TS: CE ppl usually be doing stuff like circuit design, systems design etc.

Let's see... ask him about:
1. Turing machine, Chomsky hierarchy, PDA, FSA etc
2. algorithm analysis and efficiency: the whole P, NP, halting problem etc
3. FLP, 2 generals problem, Byzantine generals problem, consistency models etc

These are all fundamental CS theories. You need good logic to understand them, to say algorithm is logic but less theory is wrong.
Theory tells you what is possible and what is not.
