In first one, I had good approach because I had done one project in which I followed the similar approach (how the whole institute can be categorized and how to calculate the number of ppl according different sections- students, profs, employees, workers etc)
As the second case, i felt was tough because how mess work in our college is different from any other private canteen. So for that you had to ask many questions.
