Checksum

Times asked 5

Official solution

SimpleExaminer wohi ZIP chahta hai jo tumne submit kiya, local extra magic nahi.
Portal download → extract → redis, venv, pip, npm, flask, worker, beat.
Checksum maange to hash. Uncommitted files mat dikhana.
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.
Suggested flow1) ZIP
2) Extract
3) Redis + venv + pip
4) npm/vite
5) flask + celery worker + beat
Project example: Submitted zip run. README commands copy.
Viva tipChecksum maange to hash match karke dikhao. Extra uncommitted files mat dikhana.

Demo, she asked each functionality one by one and I demonstrated it

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.

Where have you initialized the app (app=Flask(__name__) )

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleFlask lightweight Python web framework — routes, request/response, templates. MAD1 ka backend yahi hai.
Example
```
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def home():
    return 'Hello'
```
Viva tipFlask micro hai: jo chahiye (DB, login, forms) khud jodte ho.

How is admin created, show in the code

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.
5
DB models

Times asked 1
Official solution

Simplemodels.py = har table ki class: columns, PK/FK, relationships. Yeh Model layer hai.
Suggested flow1) Classes list karo
2) Har table ka kaam 1 line
3) Relationships (1-M / M-M)
4) Constraints (unique, nullable)
Example
```
class Lot(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(80), nullable=False)
    spots = db.relationship('Spot', backref='lot', lazy=True)
```
6
Examples of where frontend and backend validation is used in the code

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleValidation = input rules: required, email format, length, unique. Frontend UX, backend security — dono.
Example
```
if not email or '@' not in email:
    flash('Invalid email')
    return redirect(request.url)
if User.query.filter_by(email=email).first():
    flash('Email taken')
```
7
About db.Relationship, I hadn't used that, so she asked to show the code how i deleted all spots in a lot when the lot is deleted

Times asked 1
Official solution

Simpledb.relationship se object graph: lot.spots, booking.user. backref reverse side auto deta hai.
Example
```
spots = db.relationship('Spot', backref='lot', cascade='all, delete-orphan')
```

Advice: Can keep a list of everything you have made, so that you won't forget to demonstrate it. I forgot to demonstrate API itself or even tell that it's there :)

ORM

Times asked 11
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
```
7
RBAC

Times asked 4
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'))
```
8
Flasklogin and password hashing

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimplePassword plain text mat store. werkzeug generate_password_hash / check_password_hash.

user.password = generate_password_hash(raw)
check_password_hash(user.password, raw)
```
9

MVC

Times asked 4

Official solution

SimpleMVC: Model=data (SQLAlchemy), View=Jinja HTML, Controller=Flask routes/business logic.
Flask loosely MVC follow karta hai — routes controllers, templates views, models.py models.
10
Get vs Post

Times asked 2
Official solution

SimpleGET data read/show karta hai (idempotent). POST create/submit karta hai (form).
Example
```
@app.route('/login', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def login():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # validate + session
        ...
    return render_template('login.html')
```
11
Backref vs Backpopulates

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')
```

Change the position of elements in register form to top right corner.

Times asked 1
Official solution

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

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

Advice: If possible explain each and every functionalities in detailed manner. Proctor is patiently listening and helpful. Must prepare with this sheet.

Jinja-2

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleJinja2 Flask ka template engine — HTML ke andar {{ }} variables, {% %} logic.
Example
```
{% for lot in lots %}
  <li>{{ lot.name }} — {{ lot.spots }}</li>
{% else %}
  <p>No lots</p>
{% endfor %}
```
4
Put & Post

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.
5
Cascade

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleCascade parent delete pe children pe kya ho: delete-orphan related rows hata deta hai.
Example
```
db.relationship('Spot', cascade='all, delete-orphan')
```
Viva tipParking lot delete → uske spots/bookings policy clear bolo.

Advice: Proctor is friendly. Prepare all the questions asked by him present in this sheet .

Diff between http and HTTPS and how is it more secure

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleHTTP postcard (koi padh le). HTTPS envelope (TLS lock).
Same headers, encrypted channel. MITM se password/token bachao. Local viva HTTP OK.
HTTP/1.1 version keep-alive. TCP neeche, TLS security layer, SMTP mail alag.
Browser + API ke beech extra darwaze: CORS origin allow, HTTPS encrypt transit, CSRF cookie-auto-send attack, XSS HTML inject, SQL injection raw query.
MAD2 SPA: Vue :8080 Flask :5000 → Flask-CORS. JWT localStorage XSS se chori ho sakta — v-html user input pe avoid. Password Network tab localhost pe dikhega; prod HTTPS, response mein password echo nahi.
401 unauthenticated, 403 unauthorized, 400 validation. Hash one-way — SHA decrypt nahi hota. Secret key .env, GitHub pe nahi.
Project example: Dev localhost http. Production https:// + cert.
Viva tipProtocols: HTTP/HTTPS app, TCP transport, TLS security, SMTP mail. HTTP/1.1 version — persistent connections.
