Psychology Optional Course

Psychology Optional Coaching

Psychology optional offers a fascinating glimpse into the workings of the human mind—its thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—which makes it a powerful choice for UPSC aspirants aiming to master both theory and application.

At Legacy IAS, we design our Online and Offline Psychology Optional Coaching in Bangalore to cover both papers comprehensively:

• Paper I builds your foundation—covering cognitive processes like memory, motivation, personality, learning theories, attitude development, perception, and developmental psychology.
• Paper II focuses on real-world applications—in areas like education, mental health, sports performance, workplace dynamics, rehabilitation, and military settings—strengthening your ability to integrate theory into answers.
