    SimpleViva wrap-up hai. Short thanks + confirm submission ZIP latest hai.

  1. 1
    Demonstrate
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleDemo script pehle se practice: 5–7 min, Admin + User roles, saare mandatory features.

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

    Viva tipBolte-bolte dikhao. Code tab kholna jab poochhein.

  2. 2
    Frontend what is used cli,cdn and why which api options or composition
    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

    <!-- CDN -->
    <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. 3
    How does Javascript work and how it is initiated
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleCode explain formula: input kya aaya → auth/validation → DB change → response/UI.

    Viva tipFunction signature + 3-4 important lines + edge case.

    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleCode explain formula: input kya aaya → auth/validation → DB change → response/UI.

    Viva tipFunction signature + 3-4 important lines + edge case.

  5. 5
    Diff between vue3 and vue2
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleVue 3 naya engine: Composition API, fragments, better TS, tree-shaking. Vue 2 Options + filters.

    mounted vs onMounted. Filters Vue 3 mein hata — computed/methods.

    Version package.json / Vue.version se dikhao. Jo use kiya uske hooks bolo.

    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 ^3.x. setup() + onMounted fetch.

    Viva tipVersion package.json / Vue.version se dikhao. MAD2 dono allowed usually — jo use kiya uske hooks bolo (mounted vs onMounted).

  6. 6
    What is promise and why used axios
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleAxios JS HTTP client — fetch ka convenient wrapper. Promises, JSON auto, interceptors.

    Example

    axios.get('/api/lots', { headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer ' + token } })
      .then(res => console.log(res.data))
  7. 7
    What are computed and watchers and how are they initiated
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleComputed naya value return. Watcher side effect (API, log) jab value change.

    Search debounce, route param change → watch. Display filter → computed.

    Confusion examiner favourite.

    Component = reusable UI block (Navbar, Card). Props parent→child data, emit child→parent event. Slots parent HTML inner content.

    computed cache + reactive derive (filtered list). watch side-effect (query change pe API). methods events. ref() primitive, reactive() object. Vuex/Pinia global store; localStorage persist, store nahi.

    SFC: template + script + style ek .vue file. Parent-child exam favourite: list parent, row child :item + @delete.

    Example

    watch: {
      query(newQ) { this.fetchSearch(newQ) }
    }

    Project example: q watch → fetchSearch. remainingSeats computed from capacity-booked.

    Then from backend he asked about flasksecurity,userdatastore,rbac,made changes to code like change chart position, apply filters in vue frontend,in backend changes in routes etc
    Times asked 1
    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'))

    Other were project specific so might be different according to your project or routes Best of luck you will need it
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleViva wrap-up hai. Short thanks + confirm submission ZIP latest hai.

Advice: He is strictest examiner i saw in whole projects vivas, doesnot allow code changes for any error if more than 1 line, follows a defined pattern and not supportive in my opinion much , you need complete knowledge of your backend and frontend code what does code do how it does it etc. And how to maked changes if used chatgpt heavily in app then pray to god you donot get him he asks to last detail
  1. 1
    Frontend and backend component in your code and explain
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleCode explain formula: input kya aaya → auth/validation → DB change → response/UI.

    Viva tipFunction signature + 3-4 important lines + edge case.

Advice: talk with good behaviour
  1. 1
    greetings & identification formalities Complete Demonstration
    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
  2. 2
    Vue Lifecycle hooks
    Times asked 1
    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.

  3. 3
    v-directives and binding in VUE
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    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

    <!-- HelloWorld.vue -->
    <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.

  4. 4
    CLI vs CDN (definition and why did u use it?)
    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

    <!-- CDN -->
    <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.

    Coding Challenge: for any given sponsor "campaign name" shouldnt be same.
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleChallenges honestly: relationships/cascade, session bugs, overbooking race, CSS layout, deploy. Seekha kya — woh bold karo.

Advice: Keep calm, and study from the sheet
