Apart from rstv and orf, you can watch some programs of The Print such as

1. #Daily5
2. Cut the Clutter
3. National interest
4. Pure Science
5. Know your constitution
6. Ilanomics

i used to follow faizan sir channel, but he take political cases that are in limelight. mostly controversial so little chance of comming in exam.

mere lie toh hindu and IE gets so heavy that i'm not watching any of the above.
however if some judgment comes and it looks interesting, i follow the blog of gautam bhatia. I dont have law optional so i just skim through his points

Indian Constitutional Law and Philosophy
