Hello,
I have gained 1.5 years of experience in a post which is Skill Type 0, it was on part-time basis and during my study program. But my job has nothing to relate with my studies, it's not a co-up or internship nor TA/GA. It was solely a different manufacturing company and I got job through interviews and stuff. So, does my experience count for Express Entry?

Since you're posting in the CEC section of the forum I can assume that you studied in Canada?
 
Not relating to your studies is irrelevant. Any work experience obtained in Canada during full-time studies won't add any points to your CRS.

ok got you. So, would you mind suggesting me something to apply for express entry ? or shall I proceed with PNP program and apply for federal PR?
I have Master's degree in Canada of 2 years, Bachelor's outside of canada.
6 months of full-time experience outside canada and 1.5 years part-time experience in canada!
What you think is the right choice?

After a year of Canadian work experience your score will be high enough for a direct ITA. As of now you are not eligible for the FSW program either.

Ok sure, for that I need to make my EE profile right now or I can do it later on?

There's no point in making a profile right now as it would be deemed ineligible, wait until you meet the minimum entry criteria.

Ok sure, And my present employer has given me a job offer letter of more than one year. Would that be a help if I get LMIA?

Getting LMIA would only increase your CRS, it wouldn't have any effect on your eligibility under the CEC program.

So, even after having LMIA, I have to wait for 1 year. There's no way out I can provide something which can let me do Express Entry on CEC or FSW basis as soon as possible ?

There's no quick way out if you're looking to apply via Express Entry.
