Inside pageChapter Structure
How Every GAT Chapter Is Built
Each chapter follows the same three-step structure, so you always know where you are and what comes next.
Concept Walkthrough
Rules and patterns explained in simple language, with fully worked examples.
Solved Questions
Exam-level questions with step-by-step solutions and speed tips.
Independent Practice
Test yourself without hints, then check your answers in the chapter answer key.
Target Exams and Weightage
Every chapter opens with which exams test it and how important it is.
Solved Example
If DESIGN is coded as EFTJHO, how is DRAWING coded in the same language?
Solution: Each letter moves one step forward (D→E, E→F, S→T…). Applying +1 to DRAWING gives ESBXJOH.
Speed tip: Check just the first letter (D→E = +1), then apply the same shift to the whole word.
Design & Drawing Module
Drawing, Shown Step by Step
Drawing can’t be learned from text alone. Every chapter breaks a skill into simple visual steps you can follow on paper. Here is how the Perspective chapter approaches a basic box:
01 Draw the horizon line and mark two vanishing points.
02 Draw the nearest vertical edge of the box.
03 Connect both ends of the edge to each vanishing point.
04 Add the side edges and close the top to complete the box.
