How I Secured GSoC 2025 Without Prior Experience 🚀 | My Journey from GitHub to Google

That one moment could’ve ended his GSoC dream. But for Agnik Misra, a first-year student at Newton School of Technology – Rishihood University, it was just the beginning.

He went home, rewrote 1800+ lines of code, contributed to Apache’s KV Rocks project, and came back stronger with a 15-page proposal. From GitHub basics in Hacktoberfest to sleepless hours of debugging and mentorship, Agnik’s journey is a raw, real look at what it actually takes to crack Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025.
