    Download the submission and show the model
    Times asked 1

    Suggested flow1) Classes list karo
    2) Har table ka kaam 1 line
    3) Relationships (1-M / M-M)
    4) Constraints (unique, nullable)

    Example

    put vs 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.

    asked me to modify the code such that the admin should see no of users
    Times asked 1
    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):

Advice: proctor was patient and calm
  1. 1
    Where is cache in your code
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleCache = pehli baar hisaab karke copy rakh lo, doosri baar copy dikha do.

    Baar-baar same expensive kaam (DB query, counting bookings) mat karo. Result Redis jaise store mein timeout ke saath rakh do.

    Cache hit: key mil gayi, DB skip. Cache miss: DB se lao, SET karo, return karo.

    Tradeoff: speed vs stale data. Admin naya venue add kare aur cache 50s ka ho to user purani list dekh sakta hai — isliye write pe invalidation zaroori hai.

    Browser cache, Flask-Caching, Redis alag layers hain. MAD2 examiner Redis + @cache.cached code dekhta hai.

    Example

    @cache.cached(timeout=50, query_string=True)
    @app.route('/api/shows')
    def shows():
        return jsonify([s.serialize() for s in Show.query.all()])

    Project example: Admin dashboard counts / venues list cache. Create/update/delete ke baad cache.delete('venues').

    Viva tipprint('DB queried') function ke andar laga ke miss/hit demo karo — hit pe print nahi chalega.

  2. 2
    If implemented all the features,
    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
    4) Edge case

    Example

    # related file: models.py / routes / template
    # formula: request → check/auth → DB → render/redirect

    Viva tipExact line yaad nahi to honestly related part dikhao. Bluff mat karo.

  3. 3
    No theory questions because I was already late in demonstrating the project, he check all the features instead with correction feedback

    Monthly and daily reminder
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleLive jobs: Redis, worker, beat, crontab abhi, logs + email/CSV.

    Scheduled vs user-triggered dono dikhao. Missing feature honestly.

    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) redis
    2) worker
    3) beat
    4) crontab now
    5) logs + MailHog

    Example

    CELERY_BEAT_SCHEDULE = {
      'daily-reminder': {
        'task': 'jobs.daily_reminder',
        'schedule': crontab(hour=18, minute=0),

  1. 1
    1)v-if vs v-show
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    Simplev-if ghar se nikaal deta hai (DOM se). v-show sirf light band karta hai (display:none).

    v-if false → element exist hi nahi — costly create/destroy, lekin secret HTML DOM mein nahi.
    v-show → hamesha DOM, CSS hide, toggle tez.

    Rare / permission UI: v-if (admin panel). Dropdown bar-bar: v-show.

    : shorthand v-bind ka, v-if ka nahi.

    Example

    <div v-if="isAdmin">Admin panel</div>
    <div v-show="open">Dropdown</div>

    Project example: Admin links v-if="role==='admin'". FAQ accordion v-show="open".

    Viva tipSecurity ke liye sirf v-if kaafi nahi — API 403 bhi chahiye.

  2. 2
    2)create a button below login that if it is pressed the login button disappears
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleServer-Sent Events: server → browser one-way stream (text/event-stream). WebSocket full duplex hai; SSE simpler notifications ke liye.

    Example

    # client
    const es = new EventSource('/stream');
    es.onmessage = (e) => console.log(e.data);

  5. 5
    Then he checked the export CSV trigger button on the frontend
    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'

    JWT implementation
    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>

    focused mainly on celery, redis, basics of vue -> explaining the approach of them
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleRedis box hai, Celery us box se kaam uthane wala worker hai — same cheez nahi.

    Redis: store (cache keys) + queue (broker lists).
    Celery: Python library jo tasks define karti hai, .delay() se queue mein daalti hai, worker execute karta hai.

    Dono localhost pe ho sakte hain. Alag Redis DB index use karo. Redis band = cache miss + Celery stuck.

    Example

    Celery: broker_url='redis://localhost:6379/0'
    Cache:  CACHE_REDIS_URL='redis://localhost:6379/1'

    Project example: export_csv.delay(user_id) Flask se. Worker Redis se task uthata hai, CSV+email. Cache alag keys venues.

    Viva tipAgar possible ho to cache db=1, broker db=0 — keys mix nahi hoti.

Advice: Really friendly and makes you feel at ease. He also explains if you have gone wrong. He mainly focused on how would you approach the implementation (for eg. adding a button)

    What is JWT
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleJWT = JSON Web Token — signed string jisme user id/role hota hai. Har request header mein jaata hai. Session server pe store, JWT client pe.

    Login → server token deta hai → Authorization: Bearer <token>
    Payload: {sub: user_id, role: admin, exp: ...} — padha ja sakta hai, change nahi (signature).
    Session: browser cookie, server-rendered Flask ke liye simple.
    Token: mobile/Vue SPA, scaling (server memory nahi). Store: memory/httpOnly cookie, localStorage XSS risk.
    MAD1 mostly session. Flask-Security session+login, JWT APIs ke liye.

    Where is jwt stored in the application?
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleLogin token create. Decorators protected APIs. JWT/Security init factory.

    Where JWT authentication implemented backend. Show auth code.

    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: auth.py + decorators.

    Official solution

    SimpleCache = pehli baar hisaab karke copy rakh lo, doosri baar copy dikha do.

    Baar-baar same expensive kaam (DB query, counting bookings) mat karo. Result Redis jaise store mein timeout ke saath rakh do.

    Cache hit: key mil gayi, DB skip. Cache miss: DB se lao, SET karo, return karo.

    SimpleDecorator + Redis ping + invalidation line + miss/hit demo idea.

    Kaunsi routes, timeout, key_prefix, query_string. POST pe nahi.

    print after set sirf miss. Timeout chhota karke expiry.

    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.

    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.

        const r = await fetch('/api/venues')
        this.venues = await r.json()

    Difference between PUT and POST.
    Times asked 6
    Official solution

    SimplePOST nayi cheez create karta hai, PUT existing cheez ko replace/update karta hai.

    POST /books → naya book add. Har baar naya ID banega. Idempotent nahi — 2 baar POST = 2 records.
    PUT /books/5 → id=5 wale book ko poora update. Same PUT dubara bhejo to same result (idempotent).

    PUT se create bhi ho sakta hai (agar ID client decide kare), lekin REST convention: create = POST, replace = PUT, partial = PATCH.

    Example

    @app.route('/user', methods=['POST'])          # register naya user
    @app.route('/user/<int:id>', methods=['PUT'])  # poora profile replace

    HTML <form> PUT nahi bhejta, isliye Flask apps mein edit pe bhi POST use hota hai. Examiner ko yeh reason clearly bolo.
