I want to know that will it be beneficial for a computer science student to take up a course in Basics of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and learn this topic? I mean will this knowledge be useful in later stages?

I did some PLC-programming before even knowing what python was, and unless you are planning to work in industry automation (like assembly lines, pumping facilities, etc.), you probably won't need it right now. I got pretty decent at it with no CS or programming-experience, so if you get proficient in those two, you will most likely learn it very quickly later if you have to.
