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.

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.
