    Show ID Card
    Times asked 7
    Official solution

    SimpleCamera pe clearly IITM/college ID dikhao — naam photo match.

    Pehle se ID haath mein rakho. Glare mat aane do. Examiner screenshot/verify karta hai. Iske baad GitHub + project run.

  2. 2

    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleGitHub repo open karo: commits, collaborators, README. Examiner check karta hai tumne khud kaam kiya.

    Example

    Settings → Collaborators
    Commits: regular messages, last-day dump nahi.

    Viva tipPrivate repo access pehle de do. Main branch submitted ZIP se match honi chahiye.

    Official solution

    SimpleCode dikhao to pehle related file: models → route → template. Flow explain karte hue lines padho.

  4. 4
    Difference between VueCDN & VueCLI
    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.

  5. 5
    Write a front-end/back-end route to add 2 integers and print the sum and a message “Hello”
    Times asked 2
    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):
        return 'even' if n % 2 == 0 else 'odd'
  6. 6

  7. 7
    Show the working of the backend jobs (celery/redis)
    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: Supportive examiner. Try explaining your code in detail, it shows the examiner your knowledge about the code. Be honest about the functionalities you couldn’t implement. Guess the set of questions for this examiner is repetitive.

  2. 2
    3)show backend jobs and it's implementations
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleTask function, beat dict, delay() call, worker+beat terminals, MailHog/CSV.

    App context DB. Args serializable. How many jobs: reminder, monthly, export — gino honestly.

    Celery Python ka distributed task queue — HTTP request ko 10s email/CSV ke liye mat rokna.

    Flow: Flask .delay() → Redis broker → Worker execute. Beat alag process hai (clock): crontab padhke due time pe queue mein daalta hai. Beat khud mail nahi bhejta; Worker haath hai.

    MAD2 typical: daily reminder (Beat), monthly report (Beat), user Export CSV (button, Beat nahi). JS async/await browser event loop hai, Celery server-side process — mix mat karo.

    Demo: tin terminals — redis-server, celery worker, celery beat — plus Flask. MailHog :8025 inbox. Result backend se task SUCCESS poll optional.

    Project example: tasks.py + config schedule + POST export.

  3. 3
    4)Asked about caching
    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.

  4. 4
    5)Http methods and example of each
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleHTTP verbs REST ke tools. Methods HTTP ke hain, REST unhe convention se use karta hai.

    GET read cacheable. POST create payload. PUT replace. PATCH patch. DELETE remove.

    GET exists bina REST ke bhi — browser address bar.

    HTTP verbs + status REST ki zabaan. GET read, POST create, PUT replace, PATCH partial, DELETE remove. GET typically no body.

    Status: 200 OK, 201 created, 202 accepted (Celery task), 400 bad input, 401 no/bad token, 403 role nahi, 404 missing, 409 conflict (double book), 500 server.

    AJAX/fetch page reload nahi. SPA poori isi pe. Postman se bina Vue ke API prove karo — examiner pasand.

    Example

    GET /api/venues
    POST /api/venues
    PUT /api/venues/1
    DELETE /api/venues/1

    Project example: resources.py methods list. Postman 4-5 calls.

    Viva tipGET typically no body (cacheable). POST/PUT/PATCH haan payload. PUT idempotent, POST nahi.

    def ping():
        return jsonify(ok=True)
    
    @app.route('/even/<int:n>')
    def even(n):

  7. 7
    9)Asked about orm and redis celery
    Times asked 2
    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)

    5.show the email sending feature - show celery task working
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleCelery = background naukri. HTTP request ko 10 second email bhejne ke liye mat rokna.

    Distributed task queue: aap function ko abhi nahi, worker process mein later/retry/schedule pe chalaate ho.

    MAD2 typical jobs: daily reminder mail, monthly HTML report, user-triggered CSV export.

    Web request 200ms hona chahiye. 10,000 emails request thread mein = timeout. Worker alag CPU pe kaam kare.

    Redis broker chahiye. Beat alag process schedule ke liye.

    Example

    @celery.task
    def daily_reminder():
        for u in User.query.filter_by(active=True):
            send_mail(u.email, 'Book something today!')

    Project example: User Export click → 202 Accepted. Worker CSV + email. Daily 6pm Beat reminder.

    Viva tipWorker + Redis bina Beat ke user-triggered chalega. Scheduled jobs ke liye Beat bhi chahiye.

    if current_user.role != 'admin':
        flash('Not allowed')
        return redirect(url_for('user.home'))

    rbac, session or token, cdn or cli
    Times asked 2
    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)

    -Basic Questions about Celery and Redis
    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.

  8. 8
    - CLI vs CDN
    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.

    - when is token stored
    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.

    - where is cache stored
    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.

    -How is redis different from SQLlite DB? in terms of the way they store data.
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    Simpledata() local diary. Store school notice board.

    Search query local. Logged-in user store. Persist: store + localStorage together.

    state vs data: similar concept, scope alag.

    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

    // local
    data() { return { q: '' } }
    // global
    this.$store.state.user

    -Difference between v-if and v-show ? Where have you used them?
    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.

    -explain the data flow when a user tries to login
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    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.

    SimpleProps parent ki thali child ko dena. Child thali tod ke parent ki thali na badle — emit bolo.

    Declare props, parent :venue="v". One-way. Mutate mat. Types/required Vue 3.

    List parent, card child — classic viva.

    Component = reusable UI block (Navbar, Card). Props parent→child data, emit child→parent event. Slots parent HTML inner content.

    computed cache + reactive derive (filtered list). watch side-effect (query change pe API). methods events. ref() primitive, reactive() object. Vuex/Pinia global store; localStorage persist, store nahi.

    SFC: template + script + style ek .vue file. Parent-child exam favourite: list parent, row child :item + @delete.

    Example

    <VenueCard :venue="v" @select="onSelect" />
    props: ['venue']

Standard Verification Mode Asked for ID card Asked for GitHub Asked for demo 👉 Very typical checklist — like: “Let me confirm this is your project and you actually worked on it.” 🔹 3. Practical > Theory Focus Gave live task (add filter) Asked to show models.py + dashboard code 👉 This means: He cares more about real understanding than memorized answers Even when filtering didn’t work, he didn’t stop you immediately — that’s important. 🔹 4. Concept-Probing Style He kept asking: props, emit decorator SPA auth vs authorization APIs, REST VPC (stretch question) 👉 Pattern: Start from basic → move to deeper → then throw 1–2 surprise questions Like Hori suddenly asking something unexpected just to see Miyamura’s reaction 😄 🔹 5. Not Aggressive / Not Interrupting Let you try UI part Asked explanations instead of rapid-fire grilling Didn’t panic you further even when filter didn’t work 👉 This is a neutral-to-friendly evaluator, not a strict one 🔹 6. Positive Ending Signal “Feedback was positive” Your gut feeling: pass 👉 Huge sign: Examiners usually don’t give positive signals unless: you showed effort you understood most things
