Hi Piyush,

Yes, Imperial is quite good.

As far as MBA is considered, I always suggest a Full time course, but since you have 7 years industry experience, you can also opt for a Part time course.

Thanks,

1) I would forget MBAs with a particular specialisation, your prior education and experience give you this. Go to the best school you can get into. Taking consulting as an example, and given the way that hiring occurs at the top firms, the person with good experience pre-MBA and a generalist MBA from Harvard, Wharton, LBS etc is a more competitive candidate than the person with equal experience and a 'hi-tech' MBA from a lesser known school. In summary, you need to be where recruiters are actively looking for their recruits.

2) Full-time if you are looking to change company, role etc, which it sounds like you are
