What's different about OSCP exam compared to certifications like CEH?

CEH — multiple-choice, 4-hour exam, theoretical knowledge of tools/concepts. ₹100K. Pass rate ~60%. OSCP — 24-hour practical exam in custom lab environment, requires actually compromising machines + writing professional report within 24 hours. ₹135K+. Pass rate ~30%. Skills tested: Linux + Windows enumeration, web exploitation, AD attacks, privilege escalation, post-exploitation. CEH proves you know the tools; OSCP proves you can use them under pressure. Both are valuable — most senior pen-testers have both. CEH for HR filter, OSCP for technical credibility.
