OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional, PEN-200) is the most-recognized hands-on pentest certification globally — and Mumbai BFSI red-team hiring managers list it by name in interview filters. The total 2026 OSCP cost in India depends on three line items: PWK lab + exam fee (Offensive Security direct), mentored training (optional but high-leverage), and retake voucher if needed. Macksofy is not an Offensive Security Authorized Training Partner (ATP); our OSCP cohort is an independent mentor-led exam-prep program. This page breaks down what you pay at every stage and which path matches your budget and pass-rate goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total OSCP certification cost in India in 2026?
Total OSCP cost ranges ₹1,00,000–₹1,50,000 if buying directly from Offensive Security (PWK course + 1 exam attempt). With a mentored Indian bootcamp (Macksofy, WebAsha, etc.), total typically ₹85,000–₹1,30,000 — mentor-led prep bundles PWK + exam at competitive Indian pricing.
Why is OSCP more expensive than CEH in India?
OSCP includes Offensive Security’s PWK (Penetration Testing with Kali Linux) course + a 24-hour practical exam, both of which are priced in USD by OffSec. CEH is EC-Council’s multi-choice exam with iLabs — different pedagogy, different pricing. The OSCP’s hands-on exam reputation is what justifies the premium pricing.
Is Macksofy an OffSec Authorized Training Partner (ATP)?
No — Macksofy is not an Offensive Security Authorized Training Partner. Our OSCP cohort is an independent mentor-led exam-prep program. We help you prepare for OffSec’s official OSCP exam, which you take through OffSec’s official channels.
What’s the OSCP exam retake fee in India?
OffSec’s OSCP exam retake voucher costs approximately $150 (₹12,000–₹13,000 at 2026 exchange rates). Macksofy provides free 1-on-1 mentoring + lab time before retake attempts for our cohort alumni at no additional charge.
How long does PWK lab access last?
Standard OffSec PWK lab access is 90 days (3 months) with the bundled OSCP exam attempt. Extensions are available from OffSec at additional cost. Macksofy provides additional internally-hosted lab time (40+ vulnerable machines) beyond PWK’s 90-day window during cohort duration.
Are there EMI options for OSCP fees in India?
Yes — Macksofy accepts 0% EMI on HDFC, ICICI, Axis, SBI, and Kotak credit cards for 3, 6, 9, or 12-month tenors. ₹85,000 across 12 months works out to approximately ₹7,083/month — affordable for most working professionals.
Self-study vs mentored bootcamp — which is more cost-effective for OSCP?
Self-study is cheaper upfront (₹1,00,000–₹1,30,000) but OSCP’s industry-reported first-attempt pass rate is ~30% for self-study. Mentored bootcamps cost more (₹85,000–₹1,30,000) but typically deliver 60–80% first-attempt pass rates — so the all-in cost (including likely retake) often favors mentored prep.
Does Macksofy OSCP fees include the PWK + exam from OffSec?
Yes — Macksofy’s ₹85,000 online and ₹1,10,000 BKC classroom cohort fees bundle the OffSec PWK course + first OSCP exam attempt. No additional payment to OffSec required for the first attempt.
What’s the cheapest path to clear OSCP in India?
If you have 2+ years of hands-on pentest experience, self-study via OffSec direct (₹1,30,000–₹1,50,000) is feasible. For most candidates, a mentored bootcamp (₹85,000–₹1,30,000) is cost-effective because the higher first-attempt pass rate avoids the retake voucher fee.
Is OSCP worth the cost in India?
Almost universally yes — OSCP is the single highest-ROI cybersecurity certification in the Indian market based on Macksofy’s 2024–2026 placement data. Entry-level OSCP-certified pentesters in Mumbai BFSI start at ₹9–14 LPA; foreign bank India arms pay ₹14–22 LPA. Total OSCP investment (₹85,000) pays back in 4–6 weeks of net first-year salary.
How much is the OSCP exam cost in India in 2026?
There is no separate OSCP exam price to pay on a first attempt — Offensive Security sells the exam attempt bundled with the PWK lab package, and mentored bootcamps fold that bundle into their fee. So the OSCP exam cost only shows up as a standalone line item on a retake, at roughly ₹12,000, halved for Macksofy cohort alumni. Budget against the totals in the table above rather than against an exam price on its own.
