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)
OSCP (PEN-200) certification awards the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) credential. Macksofy delivers structured cohort training mapped to the official certification blueprint, with mentored labs, mock exams, and Hyderabad-context case studies. The audience: Penetration testers, red teamers, and offensive security professionals.
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.

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 Macksofy candidates complete OSCP exam prep in 12 weeks of mentored cohort training, plus 4-8 weeks of independent lab grind on the OffSec PEN-200 platform. We provide 50+ hours of Macksofy-curated lab machines mirroring exam difficulty plus the candidate-purchased OffSec PEN-200 lab subscription (Macksofy candidates typically purchase the 30-day subscription directly from Offensive Security).
How does Macksofy deliver classroom OSCP training in Hyderabad?
Our Hyderabad classroom is a full Macksofy branch at Macksofy Trainings — Hyderabad (Ameerpet) Center — Aditya Enclave, Ameerpet (500016). The 12-week cohort runs as weekday-evening + Saturday in-person batches at the branch, with Macksofy mentors physically present. Online cohort candidates from across Hyderabad / Telangana / Andhra Pradesh attend live online sessions in parallel. Both formats include 50+ hours of Macksofy-curated lab time and full mentor access.
What’s the OSCP exam fee in 2026?
Offensive Security charges USD 1,749 for the OSCP exam attempt + 90-day lab subscription (varies — check OffSec.com for current pricing). Macksofy bootcamp pricing is exclusive of the OffSec exam fee, which the candidate pays 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 both online and classroom batches, we offer 0% EMI options across major Indian credit cards (HDFC, ICICI, Axis, SBI, Kotak) for 3, 6, or 9 month tenures. EMI works out to roughly INR 11,000-12,500/month on a 9-month plan 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?
Macksofy provides 60 days of post-cohort mentor support including additional mock exams and lab time. If you fail the live OSCP attempt, our trainers analyze the failure with you, then design a focused 4-6 week remediation track at no additional fee before your second attempt. About 88% of Macksofy alumni who fail attempt #1 pass attempt #2.
