Yes, you can consider web development or software development courses as strong alternatives in your domain.

With your background in Information Technology and an 8.5 CGPA, you meet the academic criteria for most Master's programs in these areas. Your English proficiency, as shown by your medium of instruction, usually aligns with typical language requirements.

These programs are designed to help students from related fields build the necessary skills for a career in software development, even if your undergraduate degree isn't strictly in computer science. If you need help shortlisting suitable courses or universities, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
