OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional, PEN-200) is the most decisive technical credential for red-team and pentest careers across Hyderabad’s Global Capability Centers, product-tech firms, and BFSI captives. Microsoft Hyderabad, Amazon, Google, Oracle, Salesforce, Deloitte USI, Bank of America Hyderabad, JPMorgan Hyderabad, Wells Fargo, Genpact, every Big 4 cyber Hyderabad practice, and pharma cyber teams (Dr Reddy’s, Aurobindo, Hetero) actively hire OSCP-certified pentesters. This page covers Macksofy’s 12-week mentored OSCP bootcamp delivered as live online cohorts and as classroom batches at our Hyderabad branch in Aditya Enclave, Ameerpet.
Course Overview — OSCP (PEN-200) in Hyderabad
Hyderabad’s HITEC City hosts some of the world’s largest global capability centres, a major pharma and life-sciences base, and a fast-scaling fintech and SOC market. OSCP is the benchmark hands-on penetration-testing certification — proof you can enumerate, exploit and pivot through real networks and Active Directory rather than answer multiple-choice questions — which is exactly what these employers screen for. OSCP (PEN-200) is awarded by OffSec after a 24-hour practical exam; Macksofy delivers it as an independent exam-prep bootcamp with proctor-style labs, Active Directory attack practice and Hyderabad-context case studies for aspiring penetration testers, red-teamers and VAPT consultants.
Macksofy is not an Offensive Security Authorized Training Partner; this is an independent mentor-led prep program for the OffSec certification exam.
Why Hyderabad cybersecurity professionals need OSCP
Hyderabad has emerged as India’s largest GCC city by absolute headcount and one of the deepest cyber-engineering markets globally. Microsoft Hyderabad, Amazon, Google, Oracle, Salesforce, Deloitte USI, ServiceNow, Phenom, Cyient, and dozens of mid-tier captives collectively employ tens of thousands of cyber engineers — with OSCP as the gold-standard filter for offensive-security and threat-hunting hires.
The BFSI back-office captives in Hyderabad — Bank of America Hyderabad, JPMorgan Hyderabad, Wells Fargo, BNY Mellon, Goldman Sachs, Citi Hyderabad — run global red-team and AppSec functions where OSCP is one of two-three most-cited certifications on hiring posts. Pharma cyber (Dr Reddy’s, Aurobindo, Hetero, MSN Labs) plus Hyderabad’s growing biotech security niche add another fast-growing OSCP demand pool aligned to the FDA’s CSV requirements and the EU GMP cyber expectations.
Telangana’s State Cyber Security Coordination Centre, CDAC Hyderabad’s cyber programs, and Hyderabad’s CERT-In empanelled audit firms drive sustained Government and PSU pentest demand — OSCP is the empanelment-aligned skill rubric these firms hire against. Beyond consultancy and PSU work, Hyderabad’s product-tech moat (Phenom, ServiceNow, Uber Hyderabad, Amazon, Cyient, Tech Mahindra Makers Lab) hires OSCP-trained pentesters into product red-team and continuous-assurance roles.
OSCP is the prerequisite cert for moving into OSEP (advanced AD attacks), OSWE (web exploit dev), and CRTO (Red Team Ops) — the cert ladder for senior Hyderabad red-team leads earning INR 38-58 LPA. The OSCP exam is a 24-hour proctored hands-on test against five lab machines requiring privilege escalation + lateral movement + a final report. Pass rate hovers around 30% for first attempts globally; Macksofy alumni first-attempt pass rate is significantly higher because of mentored mock exams + report-writing review built into the cohort.
OSCP (PEN-200) Curriculum for Hyderabad Cohorts
Hyderabad cohorts map the OSCP syllabus onto the HITEC City GCC, pharma and SOC work local teams do. The full PEN-200 syllabus — enumeration, web and service exploitation, privilege escalation, Active Directory attack chains and the lab-to-exam workflow — is identical in every Macksofy Hyderabad cohort and maintained on our OSCP (PEN-200) course page, so the Hyderabad schedule always reflects OffSec’s current exam.

Frequently Asked Questions — OSCP Training in Hyderabad
Is OSCP worth it for a Hyderabad cybersecurity career?
Yes — OSCP is the most-cited technical cert in Hyderabad red-team and pentest hiring posts. Microsoft Hyderabad, Amazon, Bank of America Hyderabad, JPMorgan Hyderabad, Wells Fargo, Deloitte USI, every Big 4 cyber Hyderabad practice, and pharma cyber teams (Dr Reddy’s, Aurobindo) hire OSCP-certified pentesters into INR 11-22 LPA roles within the first 1-4 years post-cert.
How long does OSCP preparation take with Macksofy?
Most Hyderabad candidates complete OSCP exam prep in the 12-week Macksofy mentored cohort plus 4–8 weeks of independent lab grind. We provide 50+ hours of Macksofy-curated lab machines that mirror exam difficulty; the 30-day OffSec PEN-200 lab subscription is purchased separately, directly from Offensive Security (Macksofy does not resell the OffSec voucher).
How does Macksofy deliver classroom OSCP training in Hyderabad?
For Hyderabad classroom-tier learners, the 12-week cohort runs online live (evening + Saturday lab clinics) plus an in-person all-day Saturday workshop once every four weeks at our local venue, focused on the toughest exploit-development and Active-Directory attack-chain modules. Online-only candidates keep full mentor access; classroom-tier pays a slightly higher tier for the in-person workshops.
What’s the OSCP exam fee in 2026?
The OSCP exam fee is set by Offensive Security, not Macksofy — currently USD 1,749 for the exam attempt plus a 90-day lab subscription (always confirm current pricing at OffSec.com). For Hyderabad candidates the Macksofy bootcamp fee is exclusive of this OffSec exam fee, which you pay directly to Offensive Security.
How accessible is the Macksofy Trainings — Hyderabad (Ameerpet) Center venue for Hyderabad candidates?
Highly accessible — the venue is reached via Ameerpet Metro (Red & Blue Line interchange), with primary catchment from Ameerpet, Begumpet, Punjagutta, Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Madhapur, HITEC City, Gachibowli, Kondapur, Kukatpally, Secunderabad. Weekday batches run evening 6:30pm-9:30pm; Saturday batches run 10am-5pm; weekday-intensive on request. The Ameerpet location is the most-connected cyber-training hub in Hyderabad — equidistant to HITEC City / Gachibowli (15-25 min) and Banjara Hills / Jubilee Hills (10 min), accessible from Secunderabad (15 min Metro).
Does Macksofy support EMI for the OSCP bootcamp fee?
Yes — for Hyderabad learners we offer 0% EMI across major Indian credit cards (HDFC, ICICI, Axis, SBI, Kotak) over 3, 6 or 9 months; on a 9-month plan that works out to roughly INR 10,000–11,500/month depending on tier.
Do Hyderabad foreign-bank captives like JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs hire OSCP-only candidates?
Yes — for junior-to-mid pentest / threat-hunting roles, OSCP alone is sufficient. For senior roles (4+ years), foreign-bank captives prefer OSCP + at least one of OSEP (PEN-300), OSWE (WEB-300), or CRTO (Red Team Ops). The combo OSCP + cloud-security cert (AWS Security Specialty / Azure Security Engineer) is also highly valued.
What if I fail the OSCP exam after Macksofy training?
OSCP is hard and many Hyderabad candidates pass on the second attempt. Macksofy provides 60 days of post-cohort mentor support with extra mock exams and lab time; if you don’t clear the live attempt, trainers analyse it with you and design a focused 4–6 week remediation track at no additional fee before your re-attempt (OffSec retakes are booked and priced separately). Around 88% of our alumni who miss attempt #1 pass attempt #2.
