Which is better, go for IIEST Shibpur for civil or drop a year for an MBBS?

One of my friends was in the same situation last year. He got IIEST Shibpur Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Civil Engineering along with a rank of 1383 in West Bengal State Merit List of NEET for MBBS admission converted with a mark of 462. 

• In West Bengal State counseling he received R Ahmed Dental College in the 3rd round. 
• He refused the seat in KPC Medical College as he knew that his parents will not be able to pay his fees of 8 lakhs over 4.5 years. As he was not interested in Civil so he continued with Metallurgy and Materials Engineering.
• During his 1st semester, he again started preparing for NEET but figured out later that the course pressure at IIEST Shibpur is too much and with so much to study for NEET, he was just falling apart. 
• His CGPA was not good as it was only 8.67 and ultimately decided not to go for NEET as his father advised him to concentrate on IIEST and give up on his dreams of becoming a doctor. 
• It came as a shock but later he realized that preparing for NEET all over again alongside maintaining a proper CGPA at IIEST is doing more harm than good to his career. 
• He felt that he should have taken the drop in the beginning but he was not ready to take any risk and IIEST Shibpur being a renowned college he was not ready to leave it.

So, if you want to become a doctor and serve people and if it's the long-cherished dream of pursuing MBBS then you should leave IIEST and better prepare for NEET again. Different people will have different views regarding the decision of leaving a good college like IIEST but in the end, it completely depends upon your goals.
