    Official solution

    SimpleValidation = input rules: required, email format, length, unique. Frontend UX, backend security — dono.

    Example

    if not email or '@' not in email:
        flash('Invalid email')
        return redirect(request.url)
    if User.query.filter_by(email=email).first():

    Asked to check if user can access admin page (by changing the url) - on front end user could, but none of the buttons worked when authenticated. He asked me if I can change code to make sure user gets redirected to login page if admin page url is pasted. I couldn't do that.

    Official solution

    Simpleredirect dusre URL pe bhejta hai. flash one-time message session mein rakh ke next page pe dikhata hai.

    flash('Login successful', 'success')
    return redirect(url_for('user.dashboard'))

    Asked if I used VueX store, I did and I explained what I have implemented.
    Times asked 2
    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.

    V-if, v-show differences
    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.

  11. 11
    Props, parent to child, child to parent communication
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    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']
    this.$emit('select', this.venue.id)

    Project example: VenueCard :venue. Child $emit('select', id).

    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.

  13. 13
    Flask vs other frame works
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleFlask lightweight Python web framework — routes, request/response, templates. MAD1 ka backend yahi hai.

    Example

    from flask import Flask
    app = Flask(__name__)
    
    @app.route('/')
    def home():
        return 'Hello'

    Viva tipFlask micro hai: jo chahiye (DB, login, forms) khud jodte ho.

  16. 16
    SQL injection
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleUser input concat query. ORM bound params bachata. text()+user mat.

    SQLAlchemy injection still if format SQL.

    Browser + API ke beech extra darwaze: CORS origin allow, HTTPS encrypt transit, CSRF cookie-auto-send attack, XSS HTML inject, SQL injection raw query.

    MAD2 SPA: Vue :8080 Flask :5000 → Flask-CORS. JWT localStorage XSS se chori ho sakta — v-html user input pe avoid. Password Network tab localhost pe dikhega; prod HTTPS, response mein password echo nahi.

    401 unauthenticated, 403 unauthorized, 400 validation. Hash one-way — SHA decrypt nahi hota. Secret key .env, GitHub pe nahi.

    Example

    # bad: f"SELECT * FROM user WHERE name='{name}'"
    User.query.filter_by(name=name)  # good

    Project example: filter_by(name=name) good.

  17. 17
    Python decorators
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    Simplelogin_required jaisa decorator protected routes pe: session nahi to login redirect.

        def wrapper(*a, **k):
            if 'user_id' not in session:

    What are Vue components and Vue directives?
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleComponent Lego block: UI + data. Pages routes, components unke andar.

    Bahut files = maintainable Navbar/Footer. Not a bug.

    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

    app.component('Hello', { template: '<p>Hi {{ name }}</p>', props: ['name'] })

    Project example: src/components vs views. router uses views.

    Viva tipBahut Vue files isliye: har page/feature alag — maintainable. Navbar layout har route pe.

  2. 2
    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.

  3. 3
    what is Webhook and API?
    Times asked 1
    Official solution

    SimpleWebhook = woh tumhe call karta hai. API = tum unhe call karte ho.

    Payment success pe Stripe tumhare /webhooks/payment pe POST. Tum poll nahi karte.

    API pull, webhook push. WebSocket dono taraf live connection. SSE server→client stream.

    MAD2 mostly REST APIs. Webhook theory + example kaafi. Verify signature production mein.

    Example

    @app.route('/webhooks/payment', methods=['POST'])
    def hook():
        event = request.json
        ...

    Project example: Agar implement nahi: 'course REST. Webhook design: POST /webhooks/booking-paid'.

    Viva tipAPI pull, webhook push. WebSocket dono taraf live. SSE server → client stream.

    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimpleSQLAlchemy MAD1 ka common ORM. Flask-SQLAlchemy wrapper se db.Model, db.session.

    Example

    db.session.add(user)
    db.session.commit()
    users = User.query.filter_by(role='admin').all()

    2.Ask about how your access tokens are working?
    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.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.

    What is redis?
    Times asked 3
    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.

    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

    Differentiate between PUT and POST
    Times asked 2
    Official solution

    SimplePOST naya janam (har baar naya id). PUT poori photo replace. PATCH sticker chipkao.

    POST create, not idempotent. PUT full update, idempotent. PATCH partial.

    POST ki jagah PUT se REST semantics toot. GET typically no body.

    CRUD map: POST create, GET read, PUT/PATCH update, DELETE delete.

    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

    POST /api/venues
    PUT  /api/venues/1   {all fields}
    PATCH /api/venues/1 {only name}

    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.

    Times asked 1
    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.

    Props: parent → child data. Child → parent: $emit('update', val).
    Slots: parent child ke andar extra HTML daal sakta hai.
    Lifecycle: created (data setup), mounted (DOM ready — API call), updated, unmounted.
    v-model two-way bind. Vue Router SPA routes (routes.js). Vuex/Pinia global state; mutations sync change, actions async.
