After GSOC results were out I had the following questions in my mind :
- How many people cleared it this time?
- Which organisation had maximum number of students?
- Which technologies were students most interested in?
- Which country had maximum number of selections?
- Which college had maximum number of selections?
And many more. But Google hasn’t released any stats yet for GSOC 2017 Results so I decided to get as many answers as possible from whatever data that was available. I took the results data from the gsoc website and wrote this: https://github.com/vik-y/GSOC-2017-Results .
These are the results that I have been able to get from the data so far:
