There is scope for every branch, All these three are highly in demand programs, its you who has to SEE and decide his/her ambition. And this depends on your own introspection. Ask these questions to yourself and answer honestly. You will get your answer automatically:
What am I passionate about? What do I like to do? What subjects do I enjoy most at school? Which subjects am I good at? Are they also the subjects I enjoy? What are my marks in these subjects? If my marks are low can I improve them? Can I SEE myself studying further? What careers support my subject choice? More importantly choose a college/university which has all the supporting infrastructure and intellectual capital to curate the programme in a way that industry immersion is good. For individuals dreaming of JTO (Junior Training Officer), DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation), ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) andGATE, EEE is not a good choice. This is because they have a separate paper for ECE, while students pursuing EEE have to study a lot of other things. Besides this, EEE students cant take IES while ECE students can. ECE:In ECE, the scope to land into government jobs is great. An electronics engineer can find a job in Central Government, State Governments and their sponsored corporations, private industries dealing in manufacture, sales and services of electronics consumer goods and appliances. Additionally, electronics engineers are also absorbed into the broadcast industry, research establishments, and defence. Though in India core electronics companies are rare but the market is still flooded with job opportunities both in core and software sectors. More importantly choose a college/university which has all the supporting infrastructure and intellectual capital to curate the programme in a way that industry immersion is good. LPU has all these trades with placements in each and every one of the, with recent NIRF rankings putting it amongst top 100 institutions in the country it is a great choice.

Well, people say mechanical engineering is better but to me electrical engineering would be better because of less jobs for mechanical engineering students but it more depends on ones skill and expertise. Whatever you do, just upgrade your skills.

Comparisons between both are not possible due to their vast scope. I would seriously not suggest going with your passion but instead, go for the thing which you want in your job. If it is money then go for simpler but high-paying jobs like management and CS or if you really want things to be exciting & are ready to compromise with the pay and social life then go for the more complex electrical, civil or mechanical engineering.

Electrical engineering is better than mechanical engineering because it has better scope now when compared to mechanical engineering and also has good placement opportunities.

Hello Udit, Electrical engineering is the design and study of electronics, power, and electrical systems while mechanical engineering is the design and study of power, energy, weapons systems, aircraft and transportation products, and other equipment.
Electrical engineering is one of the main branches of engineering which is concerned with the use of electricity to transmit energy while mechanical engineering is concerned with the design, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical devices and tools.
Both can involve the field of mechatronics and robotics, but electrical engineering is also concerned with electronics and telecommunication

It depends on your interest, but the better scope is in mechanical engineering. In electrical engineering, opportunities are less. You should pursue engineering from a good college with decent placement assistance.

If you talk about today's world, then electrical is far better branch in terms of requirement for company but in future nothing can be said according to me you should go for electrical because it has more scope than mechanical now. But your interest depends as both have their own value in their field.
