Asked me to explain how cost is calculated. Informed that there should be a minimum parking lot charge if someone parks out vehicle before 1 hour.

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
```

I asked for feedback and he informed that pagination can be implemented and scrolling can be avoided. Better design.

Times asked 1

SimplePagination badi list ko pages mein todta hai — offset/limit ya Flask-SQLAlchemy paginate().
Example
```
page = request.args.get('page', 1, type=int)
pagination = Lot.query.paginate(page=page, per_page=10)
```

Create a HTML form to receive username and the corresponding python route to receive and print it.

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleORM = Object Relational Mapping. Tables → Python classes. Raw SQL kam likhte ho.
Example
```
class User(db.Model):

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

What is DOM? What does it actually do?

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleDOM HTML tree. JS nodes change. Vue Virtual DOM ke through, direct kam.
Manipulation innerHTML vs Vue data. Remove CSS class = rules gone layout may collapse.
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: Inspect Elements. Vue devtools.

Advice: Pretty helpful proctor, will guide you if you're get stuck. If you mess up your practical, be prepared to answer theory well.

Don't rely on questions here , U need to have a proper understanding of the logics u put behind the project , For me i wasnt able to answer a lot of questions and he simply said me practice and to actually make the project next time for MAD2. Overall he only pointed me where i am weak at and thats good!

Advice: he seemed very rude by his tone right from the beginning. After I initially explained my entire project in about 20 mins, I asked him if there was anything I missed out and he didn't even respond. So, I continued with the demonstration. After about 5 minutes, he asked to explain the models.py part (which I had already explained in detail). Overall, he didn't reciprocate much during the entire viva which made me feel like he was not even present or dissatisfied by my answers. At the end, surprisingly, he said that I explained very well and he left the meeting saying 'Thank you'. The entire viva lasted for 30 mins.
