What are the maximum points (pr) that i can get from each project?

Hi @23wh1a0513

The maximum points you can get from each project in GSSoC depends on the complexity and type of contribution you make. Here's how it works:

• Tech Contributions (Bug Fixes, Feature Additions, Enhancements): There is no points limit for these types of contributions where we actually contribute to enhance project features or website. You can earn as many points as the Project Admin assigns based on the quality of your pull requests (PRs).

• Non-Tech Contributions (Documentation, Adding Resources, etc.): There is a 200 points limit for non-tech contributions. This is in place to avoid spamming with multiple, similar, non-coding PRs just to score points. Contributions that are repetitive, like small README edits or adding minor content, will not earn points after reaching this limit.

The focus is on meaningful contributions to open source, so always aim for quality work that adds real value to the project.

Below are the projects where 200 points limit is applied:

So i acutally adding new features in AgroTech project I had earned more than 200 points so if i still contribute of added new features,will my points be considered or those will be detected and deleted later.

No, if the levels are given proper then no points will deducted, but make sure you add features and fix bugs, instead readymade collections

@MastanSayyad Is my project exceeding 200 points, which is why it's showing in red? What should I do about it?

I dont think there is any issue with your project, the limit applies to contributor who do repetitive work like adding more games rather focusing on feature developments.

@swaraj-das This limit has nothing to do with your project exceeding 200 points or anything similar. The limit applies to contributors to ensure they don’t spam. Since your repository is a collection of gaming tools and resources, it’s relatively easy for contributors to score high points. Therefore, we’ve set a 200-point limit for each contributor in your repository.

Please note that this limit applies only to resource additions, ready-made contributions, documentation changes, etc. However, feature additions, feature enhancements, or bug fixes in the project are exempt from this limit, and contributors can earn more than 200 points for such contributions. There is no cap for those types of contributions.
