Later on I wish to pursue M-Tech in Energy Systems and Engineering.Though I will be eligible after B-Tech in both the branches,which one should I prefer?Power generation is a field which fascinates me the most.

Mechanical engineering will give you a better background for the energy sector than electrical engineering. Power generation is highly mechanical on the thermal and fluids engineering side. Electrical will not touch on thermodynamics which is key to understanding power plants. In that sense, chemical would be better than electrical for that path.

Your mom and dad are precisely maximum suitable. whilst i became into your age, i became into an ignorant hillbilly and theory i may well be a "mad scientist, techniques common practitioner, fry cook dinner or a double naught secret agent. So I planned on a level in chemistry, yet for the time of orientation i found that Chemical Engineers earn countless cases what chemist earn and study lots of an identical issues. I switched and by no skill regretted it. Physics is a huge undertaking, i might say mechanical once you're drawn to mechanics or thermodynamics, electric powered in case your prone that way. i does not forget approximately Chemical Engineering, in case you like quantum physics. Scientist attempt to push the frontiers of awareness yet they do no longer fairly care if there's a pragmatic utility for the understanding or no longer. Engineers use the understanding to produce clever, products.

I think, both the branches would give you an equal opportunity to learn about the subject. It largely depends on your electives (the courses that you choose in your final year) and your final year projects/ internships etc. Just talk to the dean or a senior professor at your college and find out which branch offers more courses in Power systems.
PS - When I chose Electrical Engg branch, I wanted to make a career in semiconductors / solar energy. But, now I'm a software guy!!! Things change over time. Someone rightly said - "Write a detailed plan about your career... but do it in pencil".

For energy system, if it means power networks then you will have to do in Electrical. For Thermal Power generation you should prefer power plant engineering,/Mechanical or Electrical.

Mechanical.
Mechanical is in charge of the designing the equipment and system. Electrical is on the distributions side.
You can also go into Instrumentation.

I picture the mechanical engineer, a roughneck, getting bruised and dirty on some rig in the Arabian desert.
I picture the electical engineer, in the air-conditioned clean room, troubleshooting a fried circuit board.
Gritty, oily bruises or air conditioned environment?
Gritty or air conditioned?
Hot or cool?
So dang hard to make a choice.

Mechanical, by all means!
Electrical engineers don't have that much job security, and electronic devices are easier to replace than fix, but mechanical things breakdown more often, and are usually too expensive to replace.

Mechanical or Chemical, and go into one with a good thermodynamic research group.

Mechanical or chemical. Electrical is for designing circuits.
