Mechanical engineering has more scope than Chemical because Mechanical has more career options as compared to Chemical engineering. Chemical engineering is specific and deals in the same field bit through Mechanical engineering one can choose career options in various fields like automobiles, aeronautical, aerospace, automation, robotics, mechanical designing etc. So mechanical is better. Also it depends on your interest area and your caliber. Mechanical requires hard work and chemical requires less hard work but it doesn't mean that chemical engineering is too easy. As such both are different courses and have different scopes in their respective fields. So it is not like that chemical engineering is not good.
