What's the best way for me to be eligible for express entry and have a chance at getting PR? (Bachelor's with ~1.5 year of experience)

I'm 25Y.O. I've done Economics in my Under graduation and it's completely unrelated to what I'm doing now(Full stack developer).

I've asked a couple of consultancies and they're saying that even after I maintain the eligibility points(67 point criteria after 2 years of exp and CLB 9) "my visa file" won't get picked up by any province due to high competition and completely unrelated bachelors.

I basically have two options right now

  1. Get 2 years of complete experience and score good marks in IELTS and get 67 points for eligibility then apply for different pnps
  2. Do some 1 year diploma in Canada to get more relevancy in my education and learn a thing or two about computers. Then go back to India and try my luck. (I know CEC is there but with just one year of diploma, I'd be getting exactly one year of PGWP and even if I work every single day right from the day of my graduation I still have to leave for India at the final day of the year to make sure my visa doesn't expire which seems a little risky to me).
I just need advice on what can I do to maximize my chances as I know I have the skills that are in demand and also some professional experience and I need to make sure I'm taking the right steps.

I'm leaning more on getting the Education credentials and get done with it. The reason why I want to get it from Canada is because the quality of education is much higher there, one year diploma in India would basically be paper degrees and I'll learn next to nothing and probably had to attend offline.
