Dear Sandeep,
(this is almost an automated response ;D, Welcome! )

Great to hear from you. It's always good to have new contributors.

Please read carefully this section:
http://wiki.octave.org/GSoC_Project_Ideas#Steps_Toward_a_Successful_Application
to find out what is expected from GSoC applicants.

It's good that you already have extensive experience with both C++ and the
Matlab scripting language.

I am not aware of a particular project on optimization, but you can
still propose something (and maybe Olaf Till has an idea). Check these
pages for all projects so far:
http://wiki.octave.org/GSoC_Project_Ideas
http://wiki.octave.org/Projects
Please let us know if you need more detailed info.

It's recommended you try one of the very short projects available at:
http://wiki.octave.org/Short_projects

Please don't hesitate to ask for help here or on IRC:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=octave

Best regards,

JuanPi
