Hi! Is anyone here with law optional?
I did my demo with upsclawoptional.in and I agree with you guys.
Just one thing did you found any difference in 150 days and 300 days plans except for number of tests.
My target is 2021 but I want to get over with classes and all by December.
What do you guys think? Longer the better or short & sweet for preparing law
go for the comprehensive course and aftr enrolment tell them that you want to finish by December. They ll make ur planner accordingly. Only thing is you ll have to write the tests in short intervals. U can write the sectional tests as of now till december and leave the full length tests, which u can write after prelims 2021. I have also preferred something like this.
HI FRIENDS,
I AM GIVING ATTEMPT IN 2021..I HAVE TAKEN GEOGRAPHY AS OPTIONAL,COMPLETED ABOUT 30%SYLLABUS BUT I AM NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH WITH IT.
I AM AN ENGINEER AND DONOT HAVE ANY BACKGROUND IN LAW.I WAS THINKING OF OPTING FOR LAW OPTIONAL. CAN YOU GUYS TELL ME WHAT SHOULD BE MY APPROACH,I HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SYLLABUS AND PREVIOUS PAPERS.
ANYONE HAS JOINED COACHING? PLEASE TELL IS COACHING NECCESARY AND WHICH TO JOIN
ALSO TELL ABOUT NOTES WHICH INSTITUTE IS BEST.
I WANT TO COMPLETE OPTIONAL BEFORE FEB2021.
PLEASE HELP
Any comments on Nirvana IAS? Material quality and coverage. Last i saw their material, i thought it was below average. However, the institute has consistently churned out rankers from law optional.
The materials are photocopy of class notes (handwriten) of a student. Though that is concise, you can supplement with materials of ambition and AK Jain.
However, if anyone is planning to join classes over there- Please reconsider.
Its a waste of your time and money.
Based on my personal experience, please don't join Defacto Law. It is a total waste of money. This review on Quora is very relatable - https://www.quora.com/unanswered/How-is-Defacto-Law-Aditya-Tiwari-for-preparing-for-the-law-optional-in-CSE?ch=10&share=072c4e0e&srid=EmMM6
Also, don't takevideo lectures of lawxpertmv classes. Their lectures are pure imitation of their notes. Though you can consider their notes and test series.
Rest I believe, if you are a law graduate, then self-study + any exclusive test series of law optional (not the ones which provide both for judiciary and UPSC), would be enough to sail through.
Upsclawoptional.in notes are very average, nothing extraordinary. You cannot substitute them for your books. Dukkis are the bare minimum you need to read, and there is no getting around that.
Some of their notes are extremely outdated. For example, Plea Bargaining notes do not mention the CrPC. Evaluation is okay, quite detailed. However, more emphasis is given on presentation rather than content. I do not get the feeling that the evaluators are updated on recent developments. Quite bookish.
Test series does not have new questions, but only PYQs. PYQs are extremely relevant during preparation; if you can be honest with your prep and do them on time, nothing like it. Otherwise, through their test series, you can cover them.

I had a talk with my mentor regarding questions. Through the sectional tests they ll cover the last 20 years questions...thereafter in full length tests new questions covering current developments will be covered. Anyone who has written full length tests can confirm.
dont waste your money guys,full marketting is going on.
beware of defacto law also/he is more dangerous than upsclawoptional.
talked to some serious frnds who cleared mains with law,they suggested only self study and books can help you in mains and not any coaching notes.
hope it helps
Lol.
