Will pr points be counted only for label

[SaiSruthisri]

I have sent pull requests to many admins & most of them aren't labelled ,so i just politely asked them to label the issue under gssoc'24(1/2/3).Now do I get points for raising those pull requests only after those issue are lablled?

In many cases, points in GSSoC are awarded based on the successful completion of tasks or contributions, rather than solely on the submission of pull requests. However, specific rules may vary depending on the organization or the guidelines of GSSoC.

Here's what typically happens in such situations:

1. Labeling of Issues: If you've submitted pull requests for issues that aren't labeled, and you've politely asked the maintainers to label them under GSSoC'24, the maintainers may label the issues accordingly.

2. Points for Pull Requests: Once the issues are labeled under GSSoC'24, your pull requests are considered valid contributions for the program. As long as your pull requests meet the project's guidelines and are merged successfully, you should receive points for them.

3. Point Allocation: The allocation of points can vary. Some organizations might award points as soon as the pull request is merged, regardless of whether the issue was labeled or not. Others may wait until the issue is properly labeled under GSSoC'24 before awarding points.

4. Communication with Organizers: If you're unsure about the specific point allocation process or if you believe your contributions should be counted but haven't received points yet, you can reach out to the GSSoC organizers for clarification. They can provide you with information on how points are awarded for contributions in the program.

Remember, the primary goal of GSSoC is to encourage meaningful contributions to open-source projects, so focus on making valuable contributions, and the points will follow accordingly.

Sir, GSSoC'24 and GSSoC24, from both of these any one labels would suffice?
