Instructional Design Process

State Universities vs Private University?
I am US planning to do MS in Instructional Designing through 100% online. I am still in the process of applying to various traditional universities also I came across a few private universities who are accredited. You get attracted to these universities because of the duration which is 18 months compared to the traditional one which are not less than 24 months. A fast degree and then you off to the corporate world.
I plan to return to India for good after graduating and gaining at the minimum 1 yr experience. Now, what I want to know is what is the qualification normally asked in India for an Instructional Designer?, Does the University name matters (state university vs private university) (online vs on-campus)?
Thanks
The tuition cost at a private University is higher as compared to a reputable public university. This blog post has interesting analysis on Private Vs Public:
