Welcome!
It’s still a while until GSOC 23 but it’s always good to get familiar with Blender and the contribution process before that. @LazyDodo already gave you a few helpful links. You can also take a look at our good first issues list.
Best regards,
Thomas

So should I wait till the project list is released for gsoc to make contribution??
No:
-
It’s not required to participate in GSOC to contribute to blender, anyone can contribute, anytime, you could be contributing right now!
-
The list of GSOC ideas we publish are just ideas… if you have a different area you want to work on, it’s totally ok to propose that.
Wait there is a list of ideas? Where can I find it?
Don’t miss the “beginning developer workshop“ recording from the BCon 2022!

So if I Start to contribute from today , will it benefit me for gsoc
I won’t say it will, but it definitely could, historically submissions of active contributors have had a slightly higher rate of acceptance into the program since it’s easier to determine if someone has the skills to complete their proposal if we know them a little better.
There’s never any guarantees though as there are generally many many many students competing for a rather limited amount of spots available.
