Which is better mechanical or electrical engineering?

Both are core branches. Both branches are equally good and both are best at their own places.

Electrical engineering is better than mechanical engineering because it has high scope now when compared to mechanical engineering.

Sorry, but all forms of engineering require a solid grounding in maths. However, it's not like you'll be immersed in mathematics for all time, like a theoretical mathematician. It's necessary to have the groundwork because so much of engineering is built on top of it. In everyday work you may find that the field-specific software in daily use does 99% or more of the heavy mathematical lifting for you. It's when the software kicks up an unexpected result that you need to be able to assess whether the result is trustworthy. For this, you need a reasonable understanding of the basic principles and assumptions upon which your software is based. As far as choosing electrical vs mechanical - that's something only you can decide. I would suggest, though, that if your enjoyment with Arduino & RPi is on the coding side rather than the electronic design side, then perhaps EE isn't the best direction. Maybe a B.Tech in Mechatronics would fit the bill better? It is very useful for an engineer specifying "made stuff" to have visited (at least) or participated (if possible) in the trades involved in the actual "making". Understanding the process of "making" makes the design engineer more aware of manufacturability concerns. Why not try to visit some companies doing the "making" and think about whether you'd like a career in designing/specifying those sorts of things.

both are core branches. and both are best at their own place. go for anyone of them according to your liking
