Computer Science is the study of computers. You typically learn about hardware and operating systems. Things like registers, multitasking kernels, data buses, address buses. It's real techy stuff.
Information Technology is the more about the study of the use of computers to solve human/business problems. You study some programming, databases, applications, etc.

I would say that computer science is geared more towards computer theory and software programming.
Information technology on the other hand encompasses computer repair, networking, and a broad range of technology related areas.

if you're referring to the difference in the engineering degrees BE/BTech in computer science or IT,
computer science is actually computer science and engg, where there's a concentration on hardware as well... you'll have more papers on subjects like computer architecture, hardware design, organization etc.
IT on the other has minimal hardware papers - maybe 2 or 3 that too in the lower semesters. you'll be more focussed on areas like programming, programming methodology, multimedia systems etc...
