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

Advice: If you get this proctor, you’re honestly quite lucky, as many people already mention. The viva is very fair and focuses on genuine understanding rather than tricky or confusing questions. As long as you have a clear grasp of the underlying logic, the theory part is easy to handle. Basic frontend knowledge is also a plus. If you’re comfortable making simple UI or HTML modifications, you’ll most likely manage the coding question without much difficulty.

# authz
if user.role != 'admin':
    abort(403)
```

how relations are defined between models (in code)

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)

exception handling and HTTP codes

Times asked 1
Official solution

Simpletry/except. Catch Exception not BaseException (SystemExit). IntegrityError 404 abort.
Exception handling. Types ValueError TypeError KeyError IntegrityError HTTPException.
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
```
try:
    db.session.commit()
except IntegrityError:
    db.session.rollback()
    return jsonify(msg='duplicate'), 400
```
Project example: commit except rollback 400.

Advice: You should know your code well. I actually misunderstood in homepage question due to language barrier. He is too kind. He switched to hindi for convenience. If you are not comfortable in english, dont hesitate in switching language. He suggested to go through all concepts as level 2 viva will be tough and will be challenging in coding based questions. At end he wished me luck and goodbye.
