  1. 1
    I was asked to write an SQL query and a flask function to pass a parameter from the url and project it in the frontend. Wrote it in notepad.

    Official solution

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

  2. 2
    Explain url_for and redirect.
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    Simpleredirect dusre URL pe bhejta hai. flash one-time message session mein rakh ke next page pe dikhata hai.

    Example

    flash('Login successful', 'success')
    return redirect(url_for('user.dashboard'))
  3. 3
    What is put and patch functions.
    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.

    CDN or CLI — what am using and explain the difference
    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.

  6. 6
    Token based or session based authentication — explain how auth works in both frontend and backend line by line
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleMAD1 mein usually session-based auth: login pe session['user_id'], har request pe verify.

    Example

    session['user_id'] = user.id
    uid = session.get('user_id')
    user = User.query.get(uid)

    Coding — write a Flask route that accepts role as a URL parameter, queries the database and returns all user names belonging to that role
    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):

  10. 10
    Coding — write a JavaScript function that accepts firstname and lastname and returns them combined as one string
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    Simplefunction full(a,b){return a+' '+b}. Write JS firstname lastname combined. Combine first last.

    Template string OK.

    JS browser ki language. const rebind nahi, let block. Arrow () => this lexical.

    Promise: pending/fulfill/reject. async/await usko seedha padhne jaisa. try/catch await pe. Yeh Celery nahi — Celery Python worker.

    fetch native AJAX. array.filter/map computed lists. Vue data reactive; plain JS DOM querySelector se manual.

    Project example: console.log(full('A','B')).

    Project example: console.log(full('A','B')).

    Explain all API routes (examiner may pick any 3–4).
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    Simple3–4 routes deep: auth, validation, status, cache? Method body response error.

    Login, list, create. Why each.

    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: Open resources, pick examiner's choice.

  7. 7
    Show where caching is implemented.
    Times asked 6
    Official solution

    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.

    Project example: resources list GET cached. create_venue delete key.

  8. 8
    Explain how cache hits work.
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleHit = Redis ke paas jawab already hai. Miss = pehle DB se lana padega.

    Hit pe database queried nahi hota — yahi examiner prove karwana chahta hai.

    Typical flow:
    1) cache.get(key)
    2) mila to return (hit)
    3) nahi mila to query + cache.set + return (miss)

    Timeout ke baad key expire = next request phir miss. cache.clear() sab hataata hai, cache.delete(key) sirf ek route.

    Example

    data = cache.get('venues')
    if data:
        return data          # hit
    data = Venue.query.all() # miss
    cache.set('venues', data, timeout=30)
    return data

    Project example: Pehli GET /api/venues — terminal mein SQL/print. Doosri GET turant — koi DB log nahi.

    Viva tipHit pe database queried nahi hota. print() after set sirf miss pe chalega.

    Explain authentication flow in both frontend and backend line by line.
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleLogin JWT LS header. Teen fails: wrong pass 401, no token 401, user→admin URL 403.

    Register, login both roles, logout clears token.

    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

    fetch('/api/venues', {
      headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer ' + localStorage.getItem('token') }
    })

    Project example: Two browsers student+admin.

    Viva tipWrong password 401, bina token 401, user URL admin pe 403 — teen cases dikhana strong hai.

  10. 10
    Explain route protection in Vue Router.
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleGuard darwaza: token nahi to login. Role nahi to 403 page.

    beforeEach. Frontend UX. Backend @jwt_required bina guard hack possible — dono layers.

    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

    router.beforeEach((to) => {
      if (to.meta.auth && !localStorage.getItem('token')) return '/login'
    })

    Project example: router.beforeEach token localStorage. Admin routes meta.role.

    Vue CLI vs Vue CDN — which one did you use and why?
    Times asked 1
    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.

  12. 12
    What is Redis?
    Times asked 21
    Official solution

    SimpleRedis fridge pe sticky note hai — poori kitchen (database) kholne ki zarurat nahi.

    Redis in-memory key-value store hai. Data RAM mein rehta hai, isliye disk wale SQLite/Postgres se kai guna tez.

    MAD2 mein Redis do kaam karta hai:
    1) Cache — same venue/show/dashboard JSON baar-baar DB se mat nikaalo.
    2) Celery message broker — Flask task queue mein daalta hai, worker uthata hai.

    Source of truth database hi hai. Redis band ho to cache miss ho jaata hai aur Celery queue ruk sakti hai. Crash pe cache gayab ho sakta hai — isliye important data sirf Redis mein mat rakho.

    Example

    import redis
    r = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)
    r.set('venues', json.dumps(data), ex=30)
    print(r.get('venues'))

    Project example: GET /api/venues pehle Redis dekho. Miss pe SQLAlchemy query, phir SET with timeout. Celery worker Redis list se daily reminder uthata hai.

    Viva tipCache ke liye db=1, broker ke liye db=0 rakhna smart hai taaki keys mix na hon. Viva mein redis-cli ping → PONG dikhana strong hai.

  13. 13
    Why is Redis faster than a traditional database?
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleFast kyunki RAM + simple commands, joins nahi.

    Disk seek milliseconds, RAM microseconds. Redis single-threaded lekin har op chhoti.

    Compare: SQLite file lock writes pe. Redis in-memory SET. Persistence RDB/AOF extra, default viva mein RAM.

    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.

    Project example: Same JSON cache vs query.join — Network timing dikhao.

  14. 14
    Token-based vs Session-based authentication.
    Times asked 4
    Official solution

    SimpleSession school id card office mein rakha. Token photocopy jo tum har baar dikhate ho.

    Session: Set-Cookie, server store, MAD1 Flask-Login. CSRF risk cookies auto-send.

    Token/JWT: SPA + alag port Vue/Flask, scale easy, mobile. XSS if localStorage.

    MAD2 typically JWT/Flask-Security token. httpOnly cookie safer lekin CORS+CSRF extra.

    Example

    # session
    login_user(user)  # Set-Cookie
    # token
    return jsonify(token=create_access_token(identity=user.id))

    Project example: login jsonify token. Vue LS. MAD1 session cookie nahi dikhana unless used.

    Viva tipToken localStorage XSS risk; httpOnly cookie safer. Session CSRF risk. MAD2 APIs ke liye JWT/Flask-Security token common.

    SimpleLogin flow pehle poochta hai "tu kaun hai?", token milne ke baad har API pe wohi proof dikhate ho.

    Authentication step: Vue form email + password JSON POST karta hai. Flask user dhoondhta hai, check_password_hash se prove karta hai ki tum genuine ho. Galat 401. Sahi pe JWT + role milta hai — yeh session/token hai.

    Vue localStorage (ya cookie) mein token rakhta hai, dashboard pe router.push. Aage ki har fetch header: Authorization: Bearer <token>. @jwt_required identity check (authentication). @roles_required('admin') permission check (authorization) — logged in ho, lekin allowed nahi to 403.

    Validation alag cheez hai: empty email, password 8+ — form sahi bhara hai ya nahi. Woh identity prove nahi karta.

    Logout = client token delete + login page. Server blacklist optional. Password response JSON mein kabhi mat bhejo.

    Example

    # Authentication
    @app.route('/api/login', methods=['POST'])
    def login():
        u = User.query.filter_by(email=data['email']).first()
        if not u or not check_password_hash(u.password, data['password']):
            return jsonify(msg='bad'), 401
        return jsonify(token=create_access_token(u.id), role=u.role)
    
    # baad ki APIs
    # Authorization: Bearer <token>
    if current_user.role != 'admin':
        abort(403)

    Project example: Login.vue POST /api/login → token LS → interceptor. Student token se admin route = 403. Empty form = validation, galat password = 401.

    Viva tipNetwork tab mein password body dikhega localhost pe — prod HTTPS. Response mein hash/password echo mat karo.

    What is caching?
    Times asked 23
    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.

    How does cache hit work?
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleHit = Redis ke paas jawab already hai. Miss = pehle DB se lana padega.

    Hit pe database queried nahi hota — yahi examiner prove karwana chahta hai.

    Typical flow:
    1) cache.get(key)
    2) mila to return (hit)
    3) nahi mila to query + cache.set + return (miss)

    Timeout ke baad key expire = next request phir miss. cache.clear() sab hataata hai, cache.delete(key) sirf ek route.

    Example

    data = cache.get('venues')
    if data:
        return data          # hit
    data = Venue.query.all() # miss
    cache.set('venues', data, timeout=30)
    return data

    Project example: Pehli GET /api/venues — terminal mein SQL/print. Doosri GET turant — koi DB log nahi.

    Viva tipHit pe database queried nahi hota. print() after set sirf miss pe chalega.

    Write a Flask route that accepts a role as a URL parameter, queries the database, and returns all users belonging to that role.
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleURL /api/users/by-role/<role> filter join Role. Flask route role param all users that role.

    Empty list OK.

    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

    @app.route('/api/users/by-role/<role>')
    def by_role(role):
        users = User.query.filter(User.roles.any(Role.name==role)).all()
        return jsonify([u.email for u in users])

    Project example: roles.any.

    Write a JavaScript function that accepts firstname and lastname and returns the combined full name.
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    Simplefunction full(a,b){return a+' '+b}. Write JS firstname lastname combined. Combine first last.

    Template string OK.

    JS browser ki language. const rebind nahi, let block. Arrow () => this lexical.

    Promise: pending/fulfill/reject. async/await usko seedha padhne jaisa. try/catch await pe. Yeh Celery nahi — Celery Python worker.

    fetch native AJAX. array.filter/map computed lists. Vue data reactive; plain JS DOM querySelector se manual.

    Project example: console.log(full('A','B')).

    Project example: console.log(full('A','B')).
