JK Summer of Code
JKSoC is an open-source summer program by Coding Club IIT Jammu where students across India collaborate on real projects, contribute to open source, and learn by building alongside maintainers and fellow developers.
What is JKSoC?
JKSoC is designed to help students get started with open source in a practical and welcoming way. Instead of building isolated demo projects, participants contribute to repositories that are actively maintained and used by real communities.
Whether you are making your first pull request or already familiar with GitHub workflows, JKSoC gives you a space to learn, ship code, and connect with developers from across the country.
