OSCP Training in Mumbai 2026 — Complete Guide to Cost, Syllabus, Exam & Career

The first question almost everyone asks about OSCP is what it costs — and the honest answer is that the sticker price is not the number that matters. OffSec bills in US dollars, sells the exam three different ways, and the cheapest-looking option is usually the most expensive once you account for a second attempt. This is the full cost breakdown in rupees, plus the syllabus, exam mechanics, the 90 days before exam day, and how Mumbai's training options stack up.

What OSCP actually is in 2026

OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional) is the practical penetration-testing certification that's been the entry-level credential for serious pen-testers for over a decade. It's a 24-hour hands-on exam followed by a 24-hour reporting window. Pass and you've proven you can compromise a multi-host network including Linux, Windows and a small Active Directory chain — and write a 100-page professional report about it.

What OSCP costs in India in 2026

Start with the fact that changes every other number on this page: OffSec prices OSCP in US dollars, not rupees. There is no separate India price list. Whatever you pay in INR is that dollar figure converted on the day you buy, plus whatever forex markup your card issuer adds — so any Indian site quoting a fixed rupee price is quoting a snapshot, not a rate card. The dollar figures below are OffSec's own published prices; the rupee columns are approximate and will drift.

Bundle or Learn One? It comes down to the second attempt

Learn One costs $1,000 more than the bundle, and the extra course time is not what you are really buying — most candidates do not exhaust 90 days of lab access, let alone twelve months. What you are buying is the second exam attempt. Price that decision directly rather than comparing headline numbers.

The maths is unsentimental: a bundle plus one paid retake is still cheaper than Learn One, and buys two attempts either way. Learn One wins when you want a full year of lab access, expect to need a long runway alongside a job, or intend to take a second 200/300-level course inside the twelve months. If your plan is to study hard for 90 days and sit the exam, the bundle plus a retake if needed is the cheaper path to the same certificate.

What it costs through Macksofy

Macksofy supplies the official OffSec bundle — the PEN-200 course, the 90-day lab and the exam voucher — at ₹1,45,000, roughly 15% below buying at list, with EMI across 3, 6 and 12 months. That figure covers the vendor bundle and nothing else. Macksofy's own 60+ hour instructor-led bootcamp and mentor-until-pass support are quoted separately on top of it, so ask for a combined quote rather than assuming the training is included in the number.

Syllabus — what you'll actually learn

• Linux + Windows fundamentals (heavy at first, light if you've done CCNA)
• Web application attacks — SQLi, command injection, file upload, SSRF
• Buffer-overflow basics — stack-based, no shellcoding heroics
• Active Directory — Kerberoasting, AS-REP, ACL abuse, GPO abuse, basic lateral movement
• Privilege escalation — Linux SUID, capabilities, kernel exploits; Windows token abuse, services, Unquoted Service Path
• Antivirus evasion (basic) — payload mutation, AMSI bypass at intro level
• Pivoting + tunnelling — chisel, ssh, sshuttle, plink
