Q.

Design an ER model for: A system where Students enroll in courses, Each course has prerequisites, Students can have multiple phone numbers, Some students are teaching assistants.

Answer

1. Start with a clear definition, then explain where the concept appears in real systems.

2. Add one practical example so the answer sounds interview-ready instead of memorized.

3. Close with trade-offs, edge cases, and the mistake candidates usually make.

  • Include one concise example and one common interview caveat.
  • Keep the answer structured enough to revise quickly before a technical screen.
