Hello Harsh,

The main difference between nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution rxn is that the nucleophilic subs. rxn involves the displacement of a leaving group by a nucleophile whereas the electrophilic substitution rxn involves the displacement of a functional group by an electrophile.

Hope this helped. All the best!
