Have you implemented session-based or token-based authentication?

Times asked 3
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)
```
Viva tipSECRET_KEY set karo warna session insecure. logout pe session.clear().
2
Where is the 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.
Session MAD1 server yaad rakhta. JWT MAD2 client rakhta, server stateless-ish.
Example
```
eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.{"sub":1,"role":"admin"}.signature
# Authorization: Bearer <token>
```
Project example: POST /login → token LS. fetch interceptor header. @jwt_required APIs.
Viva tipAlgo HS256. Secret env var. jwt.io pe payload dikhao, secret public site pe mat paste.
3
Purpose of token-based authentication / why do we need a token?

Times asked 2
Official solution

SimpleAuthentication: tu kaun hai? (login). Authorization: tujhe permission hai? (role check).
Example
```
# auth
if check_password_hash(user.password, pwd):
    session['user_id'] = user.id

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

How to maintain referential integrity between tables?

Times asked 2

Official solution

SimpleCode explain formula: input kya aaya → auth/validation → DB change → response/UI.
Viva tipFunction signature + 3-4 important lines + edge case.
5
What is a foreign key?

Times asked 3
Official solution

SimpleForeign key dusri table ke PK ko point karti hai — relationship banati hai.
Example
```
lot_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('lot.id'), nullable=False)
```
6
If parent row is deleted, what happens to child rows?

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.
7
What if ON DELETE CASCADE is not used?

Times asked 2
Official solution

SimpleCascade parent delete pe children pe kya ho: delete-orphan related rows hata deta hai.
Example
```
db.relationship('Spot', cascade='all, delete-orphan')
```
Viva tipParking lot delete → uske spots/bookings policy clear bolo.
8

Have you created backend APIs?

Times asked 3

Official solution

SimpleYes REST. List 5. Postman. Local APIs vs REST: MAD2 REST JSON.
Did you create backend APIs? Yes examples.
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: resources.py.
Project example: resources.py.
9
Which tool used for caching (Redis)?

Times asked 2
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.
10
Show where cached data is stored?

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.$store.state.user
```
Project example: Login.vue local form fields. this.$store.state.user Navbar.
11

Show me where admin is created in the application?

Times asked 2

Official solution

SimpleDemo 5–7 min ki kahani: saari roles, koi milestone skip nahi, bolte-bolte dikhao.
Examiner list tick karta hai. Crash ho to panic nahi — terminal error padho.
Code tab kholna jab poochhein. Extra uncommitted features mat dikhana agar portal ZIP mein nahi.
Suggested flow1) Register/login user
2) Admin login — CRUD
3) Approval/blacklist
4) Booking/apply + edge case
5) Search + charts
6) CSV export / email job
7) Logout
Project example: Jo statement/parking/jobs/tickets hai uske user+admin journeys.
Viva tipBol: 'Yahan overbooking rokta hoon'. Mandatory features pehle, polish baad.
12

Difference between v-if and v-show?

Times asked 2

Official solution

Simplev-if element DOM se hataata/jodata hai, v-show sirf CSS display toggle karta hai.
v-if='isAdmin' → false ho to element exist hi nahi. Costly toggle, lekin hidden data DOM mein nahi.
v-show='open' → display:none. Fast toggle, element hamesha DOM mein.
Rare condition: v-if. Bar-bar toggle (dropdown): v-show.
13
What is ORM?

Times asked 49
Official solution

SimpleORM = Object Relational Mapping. Database tables ko Python classes/objects se map karta hai, raw SQL kam likhni padti hai.
Bina ORM: cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM user WHERE id=?', [5])
ORM se: User.query.get(5) ya db.session.get(User, 5)
Example model
```
class User(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    email = db.Column(db.String(120), unique=True)
```
FaydePython mein soch sakte ho, SQL injection se protection (parameterized), relationships easy, DB switch thoda aasan.
Nuksaancomplex queries slow/abstract, seekhne ki layer extra, kabhi raw SQL phir bhi chahiye.
MAD1: SQLAlchemy (Flask-SQLAlchemy). Tables db.create_all() ya migrations se banti hain.
14

Use of anchor tag?

Times asked 2

Official solution

SimpleHTML structure, CSS styling. Templates mein semantic tags + classes. Responsive ke liye viewport + flex/grid/bootstrap.

- Then I ran the backend and the frontend with the celery runner and redis server.

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.

- Then I showed him some basic functionality. He asked me to show basic functionality like creating, editing and deleting a lot and showcasing him that if a user has booked a slot, then he cannot delete the lot. He notably didn't ask me anything about the search functionality. He asked me about vehicle information functionality which I hadn't implemented (he didn't mind). He also asked me to showcase the export CSV function and the list UI.

- He asked me some questions regarding task gating effect, which I wasn't able to answer initially, then he gave me a hint by telling me it's related to something like DELETE request, And then I was able to figure it out by showcasing him that by delete functionality he did not use cascading effect. He then asked me can the cascading effect be used for something other than deletes and I said that yes, it can be used for updates.

edit celery task to schedule periodic tasks to run during viva (ask him if it's okay to edit it before doing anything)

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.

explain caching and show where you used it. what is query key and query string (i used caching on a search route that's why) that was it. he joined in late for some reason and the viva was done in 20 minutes. i asked him if he had any suggestions and he said "nope, you've implemented everything and presented it well"

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleSearch: form/query param → ilike filter → results template.
Example
```
q = request.args.get('q', '').strip()
lots = Lot.query.filter(Lot.name.ilike(f'%{q}%')).all()
```

Advice: the key is to be confident while presenting and explaining! and just know basics of things you've done with your code and you'll do well. all the best!

Have you used caching? (I didn't)

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.

what is v-if

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.

What is lifecycle hooks

Times asked 2
Official solution

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.
Composition: onMounted(() => {}) setup ke andar.
Example
```
export default {
  async mounted() {
    const r = await fetch('/api/venues')
    this.venues = await r.json()
  }
}
```
Project example: Venues.vue mounted fetch list. Clock component unmounted pe interval clear.
Viva tipcreated: data setup, DOM nahi. mounted/onMounted: $el mil gaya — fetch yahi. Dashboards isliye onMounted use karti hain.

What is RBAC and where it is implemented

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleRBAC = Role Based Access Control. Roles (admin/user) se permissions milti hain, har user pe alag list nahi.
Example
```
if current_user.role != 'admin':
    flash('Not allowed')
    return redirect(url_for('user.home'))
```

Show the CRUD methods

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleCRUD = Create Read Update Delete. Admin pe ek resource ke 4 ops dikhao.

And HTTP methods explain in one line

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.

Advice: very calm proctor never interrupt you , take you time to explain your project in very detail and understand your code very well and all will go well. He is very nice proctor.

- Redis: Server-side or client-side?

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleRedis server-side daemon hai. Browser usko directly nahi bolta.
Flask/Celery redis-py se localhost:6379. Client-side localStorage alag.
Examiner confuse kare: 'Redis frontend?' — nahi, backend process.
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: redis-server terminal. Vue sirf fetch Flask.

- Explain Celery initialization (celery init)

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleCelery instance, broker URL, @celery.task, worker command, Beat schedule.
DB use karte waqt with app.app_context():. .delay() JSON-serializable args.
Examiner files: celery.py / tasks.py / config beat dict / README commands.
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.
Example
```
celery = Celery(__name__, broker='redis://localhost:6379/0')
@celery.task
def ping():
    return 'ok'
```
Project example: jobs.py daily_reminder, monthly_report, export_csv. config.py broker.

- How to change a crontab schedule

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleLive UI change: relevant CSS/HTML template kholo — color, margin, flex, bootstrap class. Save + hard refresh.
Example
```
/* button red */
.btn-primary { background: red; }

/* center navbar item */
.navbar { justify-content: center; }
```
Viva tipDevTools se pehle try, phir file mein permanent change.

- What is a key prefix in cache vs memoize?

Times asked 2

Official solution

SimpleUngli rakhe to 4-line formula — panic ki jagah structure.
1) File ka role: model / Flask route / Vue SFC / celery task / config
2) Input kahan: JSON, params, token, props, $route
3) Kya kaam: query, cache, validation, .delay()
4) Output: jsonify, this.items, email, redirect
Unknown keyword: import, decorator, if, commit — har ka reason. Bluff mat.
Suggested flow1) Kaunsi layer?
2) Input?
3) DB/cache/task?
4) Response/UI?
Project example: Booking POST: jwt, seats check, commit, 201, Vue list push.
Viva tipUnknown keyword: import, decorator, if, commit — har ka reason. Panic mat.

@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'

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

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

- Schedule a daily reminder using crontab

Times asked 2
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),
  },
}
```
Project example: Change schedule current time. MailHog. Export button 202.

Advice: The proctor’s approach was intense, technical, and hands-on, with a clear preference for code understanding over presentation. - Prioritized code comprehension over flashy demos. - Asked candidates to write or modify code live, testing real-time problem-solving.

In Vue components, asked the flow of computed properties

Official solution

SimpleVue = UI ka smart assistant. Data badlo, screen khud update. MAD1 Jinja har click pe naya HTML.
Progressive frontend framework. Components, reactivity, directives.
MAD2 SPA: ek index.html, Vue Router pages, Flask sirf JSON.
Fayde: easy, SFC, docs. Vs React: templates HTML-like, course sikhata hai. Vs plain JS: baar-baar DOM mat chhedo.
Example
```

<template>
  <h1>{{ msg }}</h1>
</template>
<script>
export default { data() { return { msg: 'Hello' } } }
</script>
```
Project example: Navbar.vue + views (Login, Dashboard). data() / setup() reactive. fetch APIs.
Viva tipFayde: easy, SFC, reactivity. Vs React: chhota learning curve. Vs plain JS: UI state auto-update.

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
```

Advice: Overall nice proctor, positive thinking and motivate to answer by providing hints. Put more knowledge on theory rather than practice if you get this proctor.Good luck for my peers.
