OSWE (WEB-300) is Offensive Security’s white-box web application security certification — the deepest-paid AppSec credential in Delhi NCR’s fintech, insurance-tech, and GCC markets. Paytm, Policybazaar, MakeMyTrip, MobiKwik, Cars24 Gurugram, foreign-bank GCC AppSec teams (JPMorgan Gurugram, Bank of America, HSBC), and Big 4 cyber Delhi/Gurugram practices hire OSWE-certified engineers into INR 22-35 LPA roles. This page covers Macksofy’s 12-week mentored OSWE bootcamp delivered as live online cohorts with monthly Saturday workshops at WeWork DLF Cyber Hub, Gurugram.
Course Overview — OSWE (WEB-300)
OSWE (WEB-300) certification awards the Offensive Security Web Expert (OSWE) credential. Macksofy delivers structured cohort training mapped to the official certification blueprint, with mentored labs, mock exams, and Delhi NCR-context case studies. The audience: Application security engineers, source-code reviewers, fintech AppSec specialists.
Macksofy is not an Offensive Security Authorized Training Partner; this is an independent mentor-led prep program for the OffSec certification exam.
Why Delhi NCR cybersecurity professionals need OSWE
Delhi NCR’s payments and insurance-tech hub — Paytm, Policybazaar / PB Fintech, MakeMyTrip, MobiKwik, Pine Labs Gurugram, Cars24, Acko, Digit Insurance, Bajaj Allianz NCR — treats OSWE as the gold standard for hiring senior AppSec engineers. The cert validates source-code review skills against complex authentication flows, deserialization, blind injection, and chained exploit scenarios that black-box pentest certs (OSCP, CEH) don’t cover at the same depth.
The Big 4 cyber practices in Delhi/Gurugram run dedicated AppSec teams for client-delivery code review across regulated sectors — RBI Master Direction’s secure-SDLC expectations, IRDAI’s secure-coding circulars, and SEBI’s CSCRF require third-party AppSec audit, which OSWE-skilled reviewers handle in volume. Foreign-bank GCCs in Gurugram (JPMorgan, Bank of America, HSBC, Citi) staff dedicated source-code-review functions where OSWE is the highest-value technical filter.
OSWE is harder than OSCP from a code-reading perspective: the 48-hour exam requires writing a working exploit chain against custom application source code, often involving multiple bypasses and a final unauthenticated RCE. Pass rate globally is around 25%; Macksofy alumni achieve significantly higher first-attempt pass through mentored code-review practice, weekly white-box challenges, and instructor-supervised mock exams.
For candidates already holding OSCP, OSWE is the most logical next OffSec step into the AppSec specialization — and it commands a 50-80% salary premium over OSCP-only at the same experience level for Delhi NCR fintech and foreign-bank AppSec roles. Combined with cloud-security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer), OSWE-holders unlock product security engineering tracks at NCR fintech and GCC platforms.

Mode & Delivery
Online live cohort: 12 weekly evenings + Saturday code-review labs, designed for working Delhi NCR senior pentesters, AppSec engineers, and product-security candidates (IST-aligned). Classroom-tier cohort: same 12-week online programme plus monthly all-day Saturday workshops at WeWork DLF Two Horizon Center, Cyber Hub, Gurugram. Workshop days focus on the toughest white-box modules — chained deserialization, framework-specific quirks, type juggling, race conditions — where in-person mentor proximity boosts code-reading throughput.

Sample 12-Week Prep Timeline
The 12-week Macksofy OSWE cohort builds white-box AppSec craft progressively from methodology to chained exploitation:
- Weeks 1-2: White-box methodology — code-traversal workflow, IDE setup (VSCode / IntelliJ), framework-aware reading patterns; Python and Node.js refresher for OSWE candidates without strong dev background
- Weeks 3-4: Authentication & authorization bypass deep-dive; JWT manipulation; OAuth misconfigurations
- Weeks 5-6: Server-side template injection + insecure deserialization (Java, Python, .NET, PHP)
- Weeks 7-8: Blind SQL injection + NoSQL injection + SSRF chain practice with custom labs
- Weeks 9-10: Type juggling, prototype pollution, race conditions, framework-specific quirks; Python exploit script writing
- Week 11: Mock exam #1 (48-hour OSWE-format), mentor-reviewed report and exploit chain
- Week 12: Mock exam #2 + final review + exam-day strategy session; candidates schedule the live OSWE exam within 2-4 weeks of cohort completion

Frequently Asked Questions — OSWE Training in Delhi NCR
Which Delhi NCR fintech / product-tech / GCC employers actively hire OSWE-certified engineers?
Delhi NCR-active OSWE hirers: Paytm, Policybazaar / PB Fintech, MakeMyTrip, MobiKwik, Cars24 (Gurugram fintech); JPMorgan Gurugram, Bank of America Gurugram, HSBC Gurugram, Citi Gurugram (foreign-bank GCC AppSec); Genpact, EXL, WNS (Gurugram BFSI captives); Big 4 cyber Delhi/Gurugram practice; Acko / Digit Insurance / Bajaj Allianz NCR (insurance-tech AppSec); Lucideus / SAFE Security and Sequretek Gurugram (cyber-product engineering). Salary band 22-35 LPA at 4-7 years post-OSWE.
Is OSWE worth it after OSCP for a Delhi NCR fintech / GCC AppSec career?
Yes — for Delhi NCR fintech (Paytm, Policybazaar, MakeMyTrip, MobiKwik, Pine Labs Gurugram) and foreign-bank GCC AppSec roles (JPMorgan Gurugram, Bank of America, HSBC Gurugram), OSWE adds a clear 50-80% salary premium over OSCP-only at the same experience level. The cert specifically validates white-box code-review skills that black-box pentest certs don’t cover.
How does the classroom OSWE workshop work in Delhi NCR?
The 12-week cohort runs as an online live programme (evening sessions + Saturday code-review labs in your time zone) supplemented by an in-person all-day Saturday workshop once every four weeks at WeWork DLF Cyber Hub, Gurugram. Workshop days focus on the toughest white-box modules — chained deserialization, framework-specific quirks, type juggling, race conditions — where in-person mentor proximity boosts code-reading throughput. Online-only candidates retain full mentor access; classroom-tier candidates pay the slightly higher tier for the in-person workshops.
How much does OSWE training cost in 2026?
Macksofy OSWE bootcamp: INR 95,000 for online live cohort and INR 1,30,000 for the classroom-tier batch (online + monthly Saturday workshop). Pricing is exclusive of the OffSec OSWE exam fee (USD 1,749 — paid directly to Offensive Security, includes 90-day lab subscription). EMI options available across HDFC / ICICI / Axis / SBI / Kotak credit cards.
Is WeWork DLF Two Horizon Center, Cyber Hub accessible from across Delhi NCR?
Yes — the venue is reached via Rapid Metro / Yellow Line / Aqua Line, with primary catchment from DLF Cyber City, Golf Course Road, MG Road, Sector 44, South Delhi, Noida Sector 18, Faridabad, Ghaziabad. Workshop days run 10am-5pm on Saturdays. The site is suited to working Delhi NCR senior pentesters, AppSec engineers, and product-security candidates.
Do I need OSCP before attempting OSWE?
Not strictly required — OffSec doesn’t enforce OSCP as a prerequisite for OSWE — but practically, OSCP-holders absorb OSWE methodology faster because they already understand HTTP requests, web payloads, and basic exploitation flow. About 80% of Macksofy OSWE candidates also hold OSCP. Strong dev / source-code-review background can substitute for OSCP.
Does Macksofy offer EMI for the OSWE bootcamp fee?
Yes — 0% EMI options across major Indian credit cards (HDFC, ICICI, Axis, SBI, Kotak) for 3, 6, or 9 month tenures. The classroom-tier batch at INR 1,30,000 works out to roughly INR 14,500/month on a 9-month plan.
How is OSWE different from OSCP?
OSCP is black-box pentest (find a way in given an IP and goal). OSWE is white-box AppSec (find a way in given application source code). OSWE candidates spend significantly more time reading framework-specific code (Java Spring, Node.js Express, Python Django/Flask, .NET) and writing Python exploit scripts. The OSWE exam is 48 hours (vs OSCP’s 24) with deeper code-reading + chained-exploit demands.
