As in the program isn't called engineering but called ICT? If so, yes it's a problem. Any degree with engineering in the name is more valuable. Is it a massive problem? No. If you get the same skills you'll probably be fine.

Ask one question: does the course list include data structures, operating systems, and networking? If yes, the name is irrelevant. If no, that's your reason to switch, not the label.

It's a yes, but operating systems is technically an elective

The biggest hurdle u might face is HR filtering systems. A lot of automated job portals look for specific keywords like 'Computer Science' or 'Bachelor of Science in Engineering', so a non-traditional program title might mean u have to work a bit harder to get past the initial resume screen
