  5. 5
    Celery
    Times asked 9
    Official solution

    SimpleCelery = background naukri. HTTP request ko 10 second email bhejne ke liye mat rokna.

    Distributed task queue: aap function ko abhi nahi, worker process mein later/retry/schedule pe chalaate ho.

    MAD2 typical jobs: daily reminder mail, monthly HTML report, user-triggered CSV export.

    Web request 200ms hona chahiye. 10,000 emails request thread mein = timeout. Worker alag CPU pe kaam kare.

    Redis broker chahiye. Beat alag process schedule ke liye.

    Example

    @celery.task
def daily_reminder():
    for u in User.query.filter_by(active=True):
        send_mail(u.email, 'Book something today!')

    Project example: User Export click → 202 Accepted. Worker CSV + email. Daily 6pm Beat reminder.

    Viva tipWorker + Redis bina Beat ke user-triggered chalega. Scheduled jobs ke liye Beat bhi chahiye.

  6. 6
    Asynchronous tasks
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleSync line pe ruk jao (2+2). Async I/O pe wait karte hue baaki kaam chalte (fetch, Celery).

    JS async ≠ Celery async jobs. Context se bolo.

    Why async jobs: slow/scheduled/bulk off request thread.

    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: Login sync hash check fast. Email Celery async. Vue fetch async.

  7. 7
    Debugging any unimplemented work
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleDebug: terminal traceback padho, print/logging, Flask debug, browser Network/Console, reproduce minimum steps.

Advice: Absolute angel, will let u use GitHub or documentation of the crashed module to fix it Waits patiently (Hope this guy gets everything he wants in life😭)

    2- have you implemented the jobs
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimplePehle 1-line definition, phir apne MAD1 project mein file dikhao, phir chhota example.

    Suggested flow1) Concept kya hai?
    2) Mere code mein kahan?
    3) Example / demo

    Example

  3. 3
    3- write a code to take two numbers from the frontend and backend will need to perform the addition of those to numbers and return to the frontend
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

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

    Example

    class User(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    email = db.Column(db.String(120), unique=True)

User.query.get(5)  # SELECT ... WHERE id=5
  4. 4
    4-show export csv and mailing functionality
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleClick → Celery → worker CSV → email/download. Columns verify.

    csv module. Auth required. Don't freeze UI — 202 + poll.

    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

    @celery.task
def export_venues_csv(user_id):
    rows = Venue.query.all()
    # csv.writer, mail.send
    return 'ok'

    Project example: Admin export venues. MailHog attach ya file open.

    Viva tipNetwork tab mein job trigger API dikhao, phir MailHog/file open karke columns verify karo.

Advice: Just go through your code thoroughly and keep in mind to test the whole app run once before the viva and if any bug occur at the last moment in the viva , you should be able to fix it on the spot, keeping in mind that what all possible reason could be there

  2. 2
    RBAC how implemented?
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleRBAC = Role Based Access Control. Roles (admin/user) se permissions milti hain, har user pe alag list nahi.

    Example

    if current_user.role != 'admin':
    flash('Not allowed')
    return redirect(url_for('user.home'))

    2 are u using jwt where it 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.

    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.

    Viva tipAlgo HS256. Secret env var. jwt.io pe payload dikhao, secret public site pe mat paste.

Advice: current term vivas are going very easy so try to learn theory from sheet and practice code like login route and proctore was really good all the best those who getting this proctore.
