Advice: Very patient proctor, but ensure you don't waste time during viva for setup and Own your application, you should know where each logic is implemented/ Ensure your theoretical knowledge is good. They do not expect expert level programming from you, but only want you to at least confidently answer basic concepts which was taught as part of the MAD 1 course.

Theory:What is ORM and how you have used?

Times asked 1
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
```

Theory:Put vs patch. Speak with an example

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleTheory = concepts: ORM, MVC, auth vs authz, Jinja inheritance, sessions. 1-line def + project example.
10
Theory:Backref vs backpopulate, try to show these in code if you have used any.

Times asked 1
Official solution

Simplebackref reverse attribute auto banata hai. back_populates dono sides explicitly naam dete ho — clearer.
Example
```
# backref
spots = db.relationship('Spot', backref='lot')
# spot.lot available

# back_populates
spots = db.relationship('Spot', back_populates='lot')
# Spot.lot = db.relationship('Lot', back_populates='spots')
```

then told me to run the project

Times asked 1
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.

and asked the difference between put and patch in the middle

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimplePOST naya janam (har baar naya id). PUT poori photo replace. PATCH sticker chipkao.
POST create, not idempotent. PUT full update, idempotent. PATCH partial.
POST ki jagah PUT se REST semantics toot. GET typically no body.
CRUD map: POST create, GET read, PUT/PATCH update, DELETE delete.
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
```
POST /api/venues
PUT  /api/venues/1   {all fields}
PATCH /api/venues/1 {only name}
```
Project example: POST /api/venues create. PUT /venues/1 saari fields. PATCH sirf name.
