Zero advantage.

No advantage for H1b holders in any way. If you have master degree, that helps big time. If that makes or breaks for you.

With 12+ experience, I'm pretty sure you must nearing 35.. without a master degree it'd impossible to qualify for the PR as you won't have sufficient points to get invitation.

There are PNP options, but god knows when they open and what occupations get called for.

Check sticky threads in express entry section of this forum to get A to Z of how this all works.

Yes, I have Master Degree in Computer Science (MCA) and 12+ years of experience in IT. Yes, I'm 38 yrs. How many points require to qualify the express entry? Any minimum age restrictions for express entry?

There is an official CRS score calculator. Use that assuming a score in IELTS and see how much you get.
Even if the score is less, PNP is an option. Ontario is a good option as they don't need jobs or ties in Ontario. In the past, they used to invite anyone to apply with score above 400. This is not true anymore, the minimum score is determined by the director or something like that.

Besides, in 2017, Ontario even invited folks with scores like 320 for ICT but that lasted just for a week. So get the ball rolling.

If you have MCA from India, lot of times its evaluated as 2 year bachelor and not masters. If that happens, you will have 2 or more bachelor level degrees and not master. Do run CRS calculator for both scenarios and ensure you have sufficient points to qualify for express entry. Getting qualified might be very difficult for you considering your age but don't completely rule it out until you verify it yourself.
