Law optional coaching is a costly affair there are multiple coaching in delhi, Bangalore and around India which provide for law optional coaching but the problem is all of them are mainly judicial services coaching Teaching law optional together with reasoning there is same syllabus for both of them.

​

There are certain topics which are similar in both of them, but the type of answer written in both of them is very different, Judiciary in primarily focussed procedural laws.

Those  law optional upsc online or offline coaching Simply club the batches together and once the common portion is complete they remove law optional student from the batch.

​

It is not a good idea to join those coaching. Join which provide separate batch and better still which teaches IAS other subject as well, as it will help you integrate the preparation of GS paper as well. You may see do you need coaching for UPSC law optional at all.
