    Why used 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.

    Async await
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    Examiner code pe ungli rakh ke poochta hai — panic mat karo, 4-line formula bolo.

    1) Yeh file/line kya role hai (model / route / template / config)?
    2) Input kahan se aata hai (form, URL <id>, session, JSON)?
    3) DB pe kya query/write?
    4) Output kya (render_template / redirect / jsonify)?

    Example

    @app.route('/book/<int:id>', methods=['POST']) — logged-in user session se, trek id URL se, Booking add, slots--, redirect history.

    Unknown line: imports (request, url_for, flash), decorators, if checks, commit — har keyword ka reason ready rakho.

  5. 5
    Authentication and authorization
    Times asked 1
    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)
  6. 6
    Primary and foreign key
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleForeign key dusri table ke PK ko point karti hai — relationship banati hai.

    Life cycle hooks
    Times asked 6
    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

    <!-- HelloWorld.vue -->
    <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.

  7. 7
    Celery
    Times asked 9
    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.

  8. 8
    Redis
    Times asked 6
    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.

  2. 2
    Where have you used APIs
    Times asked 1
    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.

  3. 3
    What are the major Frameworks used
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleHar lib ek line why — list 40 mat.

    Flask, SQLAlchemy, JWT/Security, CORS, Caching+Redis, Celery, Vue+Router, Vuex/Pinia, Axios/fetch, Chart.js, Bootstrap.

    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: requirements.txt + package.json top 6 open karke bolo.

    Viva tipHar lib ek line why: CORS alag origin, Redis tez, Celery async, Chart.js dashboard.

  4. 4
    Which database, Which ORM you are using etc
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleSQLite file-based DB — setup easy, MAD1 ke liye perfect. Production heavy traffic pe Postgres better.

    Example

    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:///app.db'
Advice: i used HTML for UI and all it shouldve been Vue , .vue files , even when i implemented inline Vue in the HTML , she said it was wrong , so 0 for me in frontend and basically giving demo and she liked that backend jobs are working well this was 1st viva
  1. 1
    Project demo..
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleDemo script pehle se practice karo, 5-7 minute, saari roles.

    Suggested flow

    1) Register/login user 2) Admin login — CRUD 3) Approval/blacklist 4) Booking/apply 5) Search 6) Validation edge (slots 0, duplicate) 7) Logout
    Bolte-bolte dikhao: 'Yahan overbooking rokta hoon'. Code tab kholna jab poochhein.
    Crash ho to debug calmly: terminal error, typo, DB path.
    Mandatory features skip mat karna — examiner list tick karta hai.

  2. 2
    1-Wat is advantage of vue..
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleGentle curve, SFC, docs, reactivity, chhota vs Angular. Over React: HTML templates, course.

    Over plain JS: components router ecosystem.

    SPA = ek HTML, Vue Router se views, full reload nahi. MPA = MAD1 Jinja har URL naya HTML.

    Vue Router: routes array, router-view, router-link, meta.auth + beforeEach guard. Dynamic /venues/:id$route.params.id.

    Vite/CLI SFC + npm build dist/. CDN script tag, no SFC. Jo tumne use kiya wahi justify. Flask send_from_directory('dist') production pattern.

    Project example: Justify Vue not React: taught + time.

    5-Wat is anchor tag..
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

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

  7. 7
    6-Have u used 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.

  8. 8
    7-How much AI% u used..
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleSach % + kahan + kaise verify + kya seekha. Report se contradict mat.

    Boilerplate vs business logic. Examiner process poochta. 'Sab ChatGPT' red flag.

    Verify: docs, run, edge case. Seekha: CORS, JWT exp, beat vs worker.

    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: Jo number form/PDF mein hai wahi. Example file jo AI se start kiya, khud debug kiya.

    Viva tipExaminer 'kya seekha / kaise check kiya' pe marks. 'Sab ChatGPT' red flag. Jo khud debug kiya woh story ready rakho.

    Example

    from flask_mail import Message
    msg = Message('Subject', recipients=[user.email])
    msg.body = 'Hello'
    mail.send(msg)

    Viva tipViva mein MailHog/inbox dikhao. Port 587 TLS common; local pe MailHog 1025.

  11. 11
    10-Explain vue 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.

  12. 12
    11-Explain how u used rbac..
    Times asked 2
    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'))
  13. 13
    12-Which authentication have u used.
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleAuthentication: tu kaun hai? (login). Authorization: tujhe permission hai? (role check).

    Explain models
    Times asked 3
    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)

    No code changes asked
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    Yeh MAD-1 viva question tumhare project ke context se linked hai. Short answer is structure se do:

    Pehle 1 line definition/purpose, phir tumhare project ka example, phir chhota code/flow.

    Typical Flask flowBrowser request → @app.route controller → SQLAlchemy model/DB → Jinja template response.

    Auth: session['user_id'] + role check. CRUD: add/commit, query.all, field update, delete.
    Live change maange to: related model → route → template, phir browser refresh karke dikhao.

    Example (generic create):
    obj = Model(name=request.form.get('name'))

    db.session.add(obj); db.session.commit()
    return redirect(url_for('list_view'))

    What is difference between session or token based authentication
    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)

    What is celery?
    Times asked 6
    Official solution

    SimpleCelery background tasks (email, CSV, reports) async chalaata hai. Redis broker/queue + cache.

    User 'Export' click → Celery task queue → Redis message → worker CSV banaata hai → user baad mein download.
    Saath isliye: Celery ko broker chahiye, Redis tez in-memory. MAD2 topic zyada, MAD1 mein optional.
    Priority: task queues/routing. Caching: Redis mein key-value, DB hits kam.
    Pub/Sub: publisher channel pe message, subscribers sunte hain — Redis yeh bhi karta hai.

    Show me how and where you are using celery?
    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.

    Which tasks are handled by celery?
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleReminder emails, monthly report, CSV export — jo code mein hai.

    User vs scheduled label.

    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 function names.

    Do you know 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()])

    Why you have used redis?, how fast it is?
    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.

    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'

    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()
      }
