Hi Amanjit, welcome! :) A good candidate should start do some entrance tasks before he/she submits a proposal. It is essential to do entrance task(s) for the GP project if you are interested in the GP project. I will post more entrance tasks for the GP project this weekend. Note that each candidate can work on many entrance tasks. Candidates may address different aspects of one entrance task.
