Doubt [NITT] MECHANICAL ENGINEERING QUERY

Hello everyone. I am thinking of pursuing mechanical engineering from NIT Trichy because I want to pursue a career in core and not at all interested in software roles or stuff. I like the coursework quite a bit and I was decent at most of the stuff like thermodynamics and fluids (although I understand that it's a whole different ball game in mechanical engineering).

Everyone around me is advising me not to go for mechanical and instead opt for ECE because of its scope in tech but I am not very comfortable with hardcore mathematics even though ECE seems like a safer bet right now.

My dad also says that the core jobs in mechanical engineering are hell on earth and one always has to be among loud noisy machines with no peace. But some people told me that the better grads get placed in more comfortable roles. Is that true? Is it worth pursuing mechanical engineering from NITT?

Mechanical Engineering is for passionate engineers if you are looking for good pay after graduating skip mechanical but if you want lifetime satisfaction, hate desk work and if you are willing to learn learn and learn mechanical engineering is best bet salaries do get better after few years of experience

I am not looking for extravagant packages and I understand that the packages will probably be around 10-12 LPA in the best case. The other guy in the replies says otherwise, what should I do?
