The focus of options classes is on the core practical papers. These papers require regular practice and regular sessions to understand and score. However, at our coaching, we also provide regular sessions on the theoretical papers. Study material, question and answers based on past trend is also provided to students. For the language papers and non-core subjects no coaching is provided. Students mostly cover these papers based on self-study.
