The difference is with the layers,         

OSI has both, the session layer and the presentation layer, whereas TCP/IP combines both into an application layer.

OSI is open  system interconnection . OSI consists of 7 layers
like apllication layer , presentation layer , session layer, transport layer , network layer, datalink layer ,  physical layer .

TCP/IP - Transport control protocol / Internet protocol .

Basically,OSI-Open System Interconnection is a model designed to explain the characterstics/way to achieve data communication using different layers (7 Layers )never been physically used to make communication. Because it is just a model desiged by ISO.

Whereas TCP/IP- Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol, contains only 5 layers, And is the system using which data communication can be achieved practically.

in osi model it contain 7 layers and in tcp/ip it has 5 layers

OSI model is a 'reference model' that describes how the protocols should interact with each one another invented by the Department of Defense.

Where as TCP/IP model becomes one of the standards that enabled the Internet what it is today.. the application layer of TCP/IP model can handle the resoponsibiltes of the layers 5,6,7 in OSI model. The transport layer in TCP/IP does not always guarantee reliable delivery of packets at the transport layer, while the OSI model does. TCP/IP also offers an option called UDP that does not guarantee reliable packet delivery.

The OSI implies Open Source Interconnection,which is a 7 layer network technology but tcp/ip implies transmission control protocol+internet protocol, which used to develop a connection between client and server.

OSI is a 7 layer architectural model but TCP is a 5 layaer model.
