What is MVC

Times asked 4

Official solution

SimpleMVC = Model-View-Controller. Code ko 3 hisson mein baant ta hai taaki mix na ho.
Model: data + DB. models.py — User, Trek, Booking classes.
View: jo user dekhta hai. templates/*.html + Jinja.
Controller: beech ka logic. routes / app.py — request lo, model se data, view ko do.
Example flow (register):
Browser form POST → Controller register() → User model save → redirect → View dashboard.html
Draw: Browser → Controller → Model → DB, phir Controller → View → Browser.
ORM na ho to bhi MVC ho sakta hai — Model raw SQL functions ho sakte hain. Structure matter karta hai, library nahi.
MVP/MVVM doosri architectures hain; MAD1 mein MVC expected hai.

Advice: He was very nonchalant , he will ask a question and won't ask any cross question until you answer it or directly tell him you don't know... Viva was exactly for 30 minutes One thing that can impress him is , whatever functionality he asks , know where that part of code is , in your project . He won't talk much , but he is not very strict too.... The coding questions are repeated . So make sure to go through the spreadsheet..Btw mine was level 1 He is very patient and waits for you to search your file . Just don't stay silent

1)Asked to run the project in the portal

Times asked 2
Official solution

SimpleMAD2 orchestra: Redis, Flask, Vue, worker, beat — 5 terminals.
Ports: Flask 5000, Vite 8080/5173, Redis 6379. CORS isliye.
Order: Redis first. Worker bina Redis fail. Beat bina worker queue bharti.
Pehle 1-line definition, phir related MAD2 layer (Vue SFC / Flask route / models.py / tasks.py / Redis).
4-line formula: input kahan se aaya, auth/validation kaunsa, DB ya cache ya Celery, kya return.
Related mix mat karo — cache ≠ Celery, authentication ≠ authorization, v-if ≠ v-show, Beat ≠ Worker. Follow-up ke liye ek difference ready rakho.
Example
```
redis-server
flask run --port 5000
npm run serve
celery -A app.celery worker -l info
celery -A app.celery beat -l info
```
Project example: README local_run. Dikhao 5 processes + browser two roles.
Viva tipPorts batao: Flask 5000, Vite 8080/5173, Redis 6379. CORS isi liye chahiye.

Asked to explain the users dashboard in the admin dashboard

Times asked 2

Official solution

SimpleRoutes/controllers URLs handle karte hain. app.py app banata hai, models.py data, templates/ views, static/ CSS-JS.
Typical structure:
app.py / __init__.py → Flask app, db.init, register blueprints
models.py → tables
routes.py / views → @app.route functions
templates/ → Jinja HTML
static/ → css, images
instance/*.db → SQLite
Ek route explain karne ka template:
1) URL + methods 2) Auth/role check 3) Form/query se data 4) Business rule (duplicate, slots) 5) db.session 6) render ya redirect
Example GET+POST same route: GET form, POST save.
Data HTML se: form name= → request.form. Data HTML ko: render_template(..., items=query).
Nayi .py file: import karke use karo, warna Flask ko pata nahi. Folder rename: imports/paths/templates check.
8

Asked how much ai percentage have u used in particular in front-end, backend etc

Times asked 2

Official solution

SimpleSach % + kahan + kaise verify + kya seekha. Report se contradict mat.
Boilerplate vs business logic. Examiner process poochta. 'Sab ChatGPT' red flag.
Verify: docs, run, edge case. Seekha: CORS, JWT exp, beat vs worker.
Pehle 1-line definition, phir related MAD2 layer (Vue SFC / Flask route / models.py / tasks.py / Redis).
4-line formula: input kahan se aaya, auth/validation kaunsa, DB ya cache ya Celery, kya return.
Related mix mat karo — cache ≠ Celery, authentication ≠ authorization, v-if ≠ v-show, Beat ≠ Worker. Follow-up ke liye ek difference ready rakho.
Project example: Jo number form/PDF mein hai wahi. Example file jo AI se start kiya, khud debug kiya.
Viva tipExaminer 'kya seekha / kaise check kiya' pe marks. 'Sab ChatGPT' red flag. Jo khud debug kiya woh story ready rakho.

What is the purpose of the JWT secret key?

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleHMAC key. Private. Purpose: signature, not encrypt payload.
algo none attack libraries reject.
Authentication poochta hai "tu kaun hai?", Authorization poochta hai "tujhe yeh kaam karne ki permission hai?"
Authentication: login. Username + password hash check. Success pe JWT/session. Galat credentials = 401.
Authorization: uske baad role. Admin hi venue/lot delete kare, student nahi = 403 (logged in ho, allowed nahi).
MAD2: POST /api/login = authentication. @jwt_required identity. @roles_required('admin') ya Vue v-if="isAdmin" = authorization. Frontend hide sirf UX — asli deny backend pe.
Validation alag: form sahi bhara (email format, age 18+). Woh identity prove nahi karta. Password store hash (Werkzeug), JWT payload padha ja sakta hai isliye secret mat daalo.
Project example: JWT_SECRET_KEY config.

Why are you using arrow functions in route components? Couldn't you import the components normally?

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleORM = Object Relational Mapping. Tables → Python classes. Raw SQL kam likhte ho.
Example
```

    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    email = db.Column(db.String(120), unique=True)

User.query.get(5)  # SELECT ... WHERE id=5
```

Write a database query to fetch all treks belonging to a particular manager.

Times asked 2
Official solution

SimpleSQLAlchemy filter examiner ke hisaab se. Role/status/date. .all() list, .first() one.
ilike search. join roles. timedelta days. Empty = []. Password strip serialize.
Examiner 2 cheezein: simple desi line + tumhare project ki exact file.
Pehle ID, GitHub, portal ZIP. Phir run: Redis + Flask + worker + beat + Vue. Feature demo: login, RBAC, cache hit/miss, Celery mail, search.
Line pe ungli: input kahan, kaunsa check, query/cache/task, JSON/UI. Copilot band. Jo nahi kiya honestly bolo + kaise add karte.
Example
```
User.query.filter_by(id=1).first()
User.query.filter(User.roles.any(Role.name=='admin')).all()
Booking.query.filter(Booking.created_at > datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=5)).all()
```
Project example: flask shell ya naya route. Dikhao result JSON.

Advice: My advice for everyone Go through your project line by line. Understand every import, configuration, and dependency. Be able to write important snippets (like router configuration or common database queries) without looking. Learn the concepts behind whatever you've used (JWT, Vue Router, computed, watch, Axios, Pinia, SQLAlchemy, etc.). If you haven't implemented a feature, be honest. Don't try to fake it. Revise common Vue concepts like props, emits, computed, watch, routing, conditional rendering, lifecycle hooks, and API calls. Revise backend concepts like JWT authentication, database relationships, SQLAlchemy queries, and why each package is used. Final takeaway The viva is less about whether your project runs and more about whether you truly understand your project. If you know your own code well, you'll do much better than someone who simply copied everything and hoped it wouldn't be asked. That's all from my side. I hope this helps. Best of luck to everyone appearing for the viva—you've got this!

Which Vue version ae you using

Times asked 2

Official solution

Simple2 or 3 from package.json + 1 difference Composition/filters.
Which version are you using.
SPA = ek HTML, Vue Router se views, full reload nahi. MPA = MAD1 Jinja har URL naya HTML.
Vue Router: routes array, router-view, router-link, meta.auth + beforeEach guard. Dynamic /venues/:id → $route.params.id.
Vite/CLI SFC + npm build dist/. CDN script tag, no SFC. Jo tumne use kiya wahi justify. Flask send_from_directory('dist') production pattern.
Project example: package.json vue field.
Project example: package.json vue field.
2
Difference between vue CLI and Vue CDN and which one are you using.

Times asked 2
Official solution

SimpleCDN = Vue script tag se, jaise pen drive. CLI/Vite = poori factory (SFC, npm, bundle).
CDN: no build, chhote apps, exam PC pe Node nahi to bhi chal. Weak: no .vue compile, 3rd-party cache, scale/team.
CLI/Vite: Single File Components, env, code-split, production dist/. Scalable.
Examiner 'which + why' — jo use kiya wahi justify, doosra naam rato mat.
Example
```

<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@3/dist/vue.global.js"></script>

# Vite
npm run dev
npm run build
```
Project example: CDN: index.html unpkg vue. CLI: package.json, npm run serve / vite.
Viva tipCDN scalable large teams ke liye weak (no SFC compile, caching 3rd party). Examiner 'which + why' poochta hai — jo use kiya wahi justify karo.
3
What is ORM?

Times asked 49
Official solution

SimpleORM = Object Relational Mapping. Database tables ko Python classes/objects se map karta hai, raw SQL kam likhni padti hai.
Bina ORM: cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM user WHERE id=?', [5])
ORM se: User.query.get(5) ya db.session.get(User, 5)
Example model
```
class User(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    email = db.Column(db.String(120), unique=True)
```
FaydePython mein soch sakte ho, SQL injection se protection (parameterized), relationships easy, DB switch thoda aasan.
Nuksaancomplex queries slow/abstract, seekhne ki layer extra, kabhi raw SQL phir bhi chahiye.
MAD1: SQLAlchemy (Flask-SQLAlchemy). Tables db.create_all() ya migrations se banti hain.
4
What is Blueprint and where have you used it.

Times asked 2
Official solution

SimpleBlueprint se app ko modules mein todte ho — auth, admin, user alag files. Scale + clean structure.
Example
```
auth_bp = Blueprint('auth', __name__, url_prefix='/auth')

@auth_bp.route('/login')
def login(): ...

app.register_blueprint(auth_bp)
```
Viva tipViva: 'kyun blueprint?' → separation of concerns, badi app maintainable.
5

Where have you implemented caching.

Times asked 2

Official solution

SimpleGET lists/stats @cache.cached. Mutations pe delete. CACHE_TYPE Redis.
Why each route: public repeated reads. User-private careful.
Redis in-memory key-value store hai — fridge pe sticky note, poori kitchen (SQL database) har baar mat kholo.
MAD2 mein Redis do kaam: (1) cache — same venues/shows/dashboard JSON baar-baar DB se nahi (2) Celery broker — Flask task queue mein daalta hai, worker uthata hai.
Flow: cache.get(key) → hit pe return, miss pe SQLAlchemy + SET with timeout. Admin write ke baad cache.delete, warna stale list.
Source of truth database hi hai. Redis crash/band = cache miss (app chalni chahiye) + queue ruk sakti hai. Important bookings sirf Redis mein mat rakho.
Alag: Redis ≠ Memcached (Celery broker nahi). Redis ≠ localStorage (woh browser). redis-cli ping → PONG viva proof.
Project example: File+line decorator. redis-cli get key optional.
6
Write a route to show the list of blacklisted companies. Also write frontend code for the same.

Times asked 2
Official solution

SimpleLive Flask coding: chhota route likho, save, browser/curl se test. Syntax error terminal mein padho.
Example
```
@app.route('/ping')
def ping():
    return jsonify(ok=True)

@app.route('/even/<int:n>')
def even(n):
    return 'even' if n % 2 == 0 else 'odd'
```

- Asked me where JWT is stored

Times asked 2
Official solution

SimpleJWT teen tukde ki signed chitthi: header.payload.signature. Padhi ja sakti hai, badli nahi ja sakti.
Encoded (Base64) + signed, encrypted nahi (JWE alag). Payload mein password mat daalo — koi jwt.io pe dekh lega.
Login pe server secret se HMAC (HS256). Har API Authorization: Bearer <token>.
Expiry exp. Change payload → signature fail → 401.

- Asked me what are lifecycle hooks in Vue

Times asked 2
Official solution

SimpleLifecycle = component ki zindagi ke stages. API call tab jab DOM ready ho — mounted.
created: instance bani, this data, DOM nahi. mounted/onMounted: page pe aa gaya — fetch, Chart.js, setInterval.
updated: data change ke baad. unmounted: cleanup (clearInterval) warna memory leak.
Dashboards onMounted isliye: canvas/API tab valid. created mein $el nahi.
Composition: onMounted(() => {}) setup ke andar.
Example
```
export default {
  async mounted() {
    const r = await fetch('/api/venues')
    this.venues = await r.json()
  }
}
```
Project example: Venues.vue mounted fetch list. Clock component unmounted pe interval clear.
Viva tipcreated: data setup, DOM nahi. mounted/onMounted: $el mil gaya — fetch yahi. Dashboards isliye onMounted use karti hain.

SimpleVue = UI ka smart assistant. Data badlo, screen khud update. MAD1 Jinja har click pe naya HTML.
Progressive frontend framework. Components, reactivity, directives.
MAD2 SPA: ek index.html, Vue Router pages, Flask sirf JSON.
Fayde: easy, SFC, docs. Vs React: templates HTML-like, course sikhata hai. Vs plain JS: baar-baar DOM mat chhedo.
Example
```

<template>
  <h1>{{ msg }}</h1>
</template>
<script>
export default { data() { return { msg: 'Hello' } } }
</script>
```
Project example: Navbar.vue + views (Login, Dashboard). data() / setup() reactive. fetch APIs.
Viva tipFayde: easy, SFC, reactivity. Vs React: chhota learning curve. Vs plain JS: UI state auto-update.

What are HTTP status/error codes? like 201, 403 etc.

Times asked 2
Official solution

Simple2xx jeet, 4xx teri galti, 5xx meri (server) galti.
200 OK, 201 Created, 400 validation, 401 no/invalid token (authentication fail), 403 role (authorization fail), 404 missing, 409 conflict, 500 crash.
403 vs IntegrityError: 403 permission. Duplicate unique → 400/409, 500 mat chhodo.
Example
```
return jsonify(msg='ok'), 200
return jsonify(msg='login required'), 401
```
Project example: Login fail 401. User admin API 403. Duplicate booking 400.
Viva tip403 vs IntegrityError: 403 permission, IntegrityError DB constraint (duplicate unique) — 400/409 banao, 500 mat chhodo.

Are JWT tokens encrypted or encoded? What is their purpose?

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleJWT teen tukde ki signed chitthi: header.payload.signature. Padhi ja sakti hai, badli nahi ja sakti.
Encoded (Base64) + signed, encrypted nahi (JWE alag). Payload mein password mat daalo — koi jwt.io pe dekh lega.
Login pe server secret se HMAC (HS256). Har API Authorization: Bearer <token>.
Expiry exp. Change payload → signature fail → 401.
Session MAD1 server yaad rakhta. JWT MAD2 client rakhta, server stateless-ish.
Example
```
eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.{"sub":1,"role":"admin"}.signature
# Authorization: Bearer <token>
```
Project example: POST /login → token LS. fetch interceptor header. @jwt_required APIs.

Suggested flow1) Register/login user
2) Admin login — CRUD
3) Approval/blacklist
4) Booking/apply + edge case
5) Search + charts
6) CSV export / email job
7) Logout
